just stumbled on to you great work sir I like the idea of building one better than giving Oneida all my money to get the same effect thank you for sharing your know how with us
man I miss working in my hs woodshop. you have some cool ideas like my old shop instructor. I must say though, 1-1/4 hose size shop vacs aren't really good for heavy duty work. I prefer the 2-1/2 because they aren't as easy to clog.
@skrumbah I'm no Ron Walters, but as far as I understand, the cyclone's rotational velocity is what separates the larger material. The finer the material, the faster the cyclonic action you need. When moving air with a fixed amount of power, moving a larger volume means lower velocity, which might not get you as good a result. Optimizing would require a fair amount of knowledge of the fluid dynamics of cyclones and the amount of air that your specific Shop Vac can move.
Thats nice work. I'm afraid I'm going to have to try and make one. I hope it turns out as well as yours did. Wood bucket instead of 5 gal. Palstic. Maybe. I better just try to make the cyclone part first. Wish me luck and thank you for the video. (Tom)
how did you make the cyclone thing

Great idea, I am going to pinch your idea for my English workshop. Many thanks Ron.
