Adding a JET style "Vortex Cone" to a Dust Collector

Have you seen this site?
I may make a wooden one depending on how well my new cyclone separates the fine dust from my drum sander.

I don’t get it, I did exactly the ‘fix’ that SASmith references above and I’m still getting lots of chips in the filter. In-fact it doesn’t seem to help at all. I wonder what I did wrong?

Hozer, post a picture of what you added and maybe myself or someone else can give you some advice.

I’ve done a few things to my DC, and my bag stays pretty clean and the dust and chips in the collection bag don’t “stir up” when I turn the DC on like they did before I did the mods.

I’ve had good luck with the Cone myself, though I did do a bit of “tweaking” to get it working just right.

Like I said, post some pics of what you have and I’m sure we can figure out your issues.
