Had a cheap HF mini dust collector laying around and ran across a photo of a JET trash can model and it got me thinking…..why not transform this thing for the plainer and jointer. Of course I had to make a mini one to match my shopvac for sanding and the miter saw.

the separator makes a world of difference. We have 2 30 gallon containers under our dust collector outside the school shop. One class of planing glued up 18×24 panels for end tables can fill them in less than an hour. We put a separator in line from the planer. Now we just stop for a few seconds to switch to a different trash can then keep going. previously we would have to stop completely and empty the collector. Now only about 10-15% makes it outside.

Great gadget! Only trouble is we don’t have trash cans here in Oz any more. Now we have “wheelie bins” like a bix plastic box on wheels with a hinged lid. HMMMMMMM…

try rolling up a piece of thin sheet metal and put it inside the bin to make a makeshift cylinder for the air to spin?
