Cyclone Seperator

LOVE the toilet flanges for couplers!

-- Crashn - the only thing I make more of than sawdust is mistakes

This looks good!

This is the same design I started out with, but finally went ahead and built a thein separator – you would be amazed at how much more you can fill the can up before you have to empty it!

It might be a tad more work, but take a look into building one of those – I think you would be much more happy with it!

Keep up the good work!

I have looked into it
My father in law is a diesel mechanic with a machine shop so building a nice one is doable but this has worked well for me so far, never emptied a bag yet

A “Thein” separator? What is the difference in design and function/performance?

+1 for Knotcurser. the Thein version assists with the cyclonic effect and prevents/reduces the deposited chips and dust from being drawn back up into the extraction. A couple of hours extra works will build you the baffle

I would also have sited the spiggot from the extractor in the centre of the lid and not have the 90 bend but if it works for you good luck, certainly beats having it go straight into the extractor.

^^ +1
Add a baffle and lose the center 90*

My next upgrade will be the thien.
I am going to put one on a thirty gallon barrel to use with my small Craftsman Collector hooked up to the Planer in the garage
