hi fernando!

you coud use a metal sheet or PVC. In argentina there are a lot of people that works with metal sheet finishd with zinc, I will try to build mine using it.

I looked into the size you are making a while back. It would be very interesting how big of a shop tool it will work on. What stopped me was not having anyone who could help me with the metal work.

Hi Rodrigo,
It was raining here 8 am too. Anyway I make a lot of noise to wake up teenagers, lol.

Interesting job ahead Rodrigo. I investigated a lot, and finally took the lazy way: just put an intermediate separator with no ciclone at all. It works quite well. No chips at all through the turbine, just dust. That was I was looking at minimum, no wood or screws hitting the fans.

Thank you for the belt and extrusion link. Will pay a visit there.

@Fernando Brazjuca , have you pay a look at Martin´s recent blog on this? He is using a security plastic cone.
