I have a Jet 1100 dust collector with a trash can hooked up. The
problem is the trash can never fills unless I'm planing materials and
even then most of the chips get sucked into the collector. I'm just
using a inexpensive plastic top on the can. It really creates a
cyclone force that brings the chips from the bottom to the DC
collector hose.

Any one having good luck with a certain bran top.

In the Better Homes 450 shop tips there is one made of wood on page
128 that has a wire mesh at the top. Any thoughts would be
appreciated.

I made mine from 1 1/4" subfloor plywood and PVC pipe. It only fills the
bags on my Delta 1.5 hp DC when I don't empty it soon enough. 2/3 full is
soon enough.
