it is possible to put the same type of cyclone system inside the vacuum suction unit, ofcourse it needs some rearagement , the vacuum filter will go inside the cyclone suction part . ofcourse it will be good if the vacuum company does it, just by putting a upside done cone and cyclinder around the vacuum filter. internal cyclinder diameter will be little biger than the filter diameter of vacuum system.
@michaelgandy I tried running it with a smaller collector like that but it would not pull the chips out of my plainer, love how well it spins out the dust. I have not changed the bags on my collector since I got it.
@Woodchuck2U I ended up finding a 3hp Powermatic single stage and am running the separator in line with it. Its not so much cheaping out but building the shop on a pay as you go arrangement. I could live with a crappy dust collector for a hobby shop but now I am now running it as a business and made enough to pay for a good collector.

@DarlingtonFarm Thats funny, I've been mostly a hobbyist woodworker for about 30 years, and I couldn't live with a crappy dust collector.

All that really expensive woodworking machinery, and then you cheap out on dust collection ?
