One day I’m going to add a Thien baffle just to see if it will improve my DC system any. I know that his baffle works VERY WELL for shop vac set ups. My shop built system uses a 55 gallon barrel for a separator. Though I’m quite pleased with its function as is, I’m still curious to know if the Thien baffle would make it even more efficient. By that I mean that it would be nice to NEVER have to empty the dust bag on the DC unit!

If interested, you can see my shop built system at the page below. If you decide to visit this page be sure to check out the useful tip at the bottom of the page for installing blast gates into thin wall S&D pipe DC lines.

Hopefully, someone will find this to be useful information. I’ve learned so much from other people who freely share their knowledge and experience. So, I try to pay them back by “keeping the circle unbroken”.
