Cyclone lid for garbage can dust collector/shopvac question
those lids work for DC; I doubt they would work with a Shop Vac. I use one with
a 750CFM DC and it does cut down the efficiency, but it more than makes up for that by preventing clogs at the impeller or anything nasty slamming into said impeller. Plus it's way easier to dump the trashcan than it is to dump the lower bag of the DC. It should get MORE than 90% of the dust. I hardly ever have to empty the bag in the DC. David wrote: I saw in the Lee Valley catalog where they have a lid that fits on a garbage can (for 29.95). It shows a hose coming from your tool to the can and another hose from the lid going to your shopvac. It is suppose to collect 90% of the planer/saw dust in the can first before it goes into the vac. Do any of you have an opinion if these lids really work? I don't have the room for a big dust collection system. Thanks for your opinions. |

Dave,
Drop me a line on this collector lid if you want one really cheap. I bought one years ago when I first started out and never used it. We'll talk on the side if you want. Eric e l m w o o d ( a t ) w a v e c o m p u t e r s ( d o t ) n e t |

Cyclone lid for garbage can dust collector/shopvac question
Hi Dave,
I have the small model which fits on a 5 gal pail and it works just fine with a shop vac. I have not used it since I bought a Oneida system. Which reminds me, I have the small model for sale. So if you are interest and live in the Ottawa area (I know that's not you BAD) email me. Remove the "Stamp" from address.
