I saw this video last year, and I am in the process of improving my thein from what I have at 4" right now, to 5", using this exact process.

Cool video though!

Never thought of posting it on here.

I'm still experimenting on something that fits within the existing DC shroud, rather than a separate container which takes up valuable floor space. All I know is it ain't easy to get something that works well. The Jet Vortex Cone comes as close as anything I've seen...no dust in the cannister. They will not sell a retrofit kit, so we are on our own. Retired LE had some good ideas. One was a chimney cap shaped like a cone. I'll have to visit my favorite tool store Performance Tool, and open one up to see exactly what Jet has done. It looks way too simple.

This is my current set up, of course now it has a 4" wye with 2 blast gates on it... but it is about all the space I can have it take up.... with my shop being in a garage, I need it to be mobile.



Like I said, my DC has 5" comiing out of of it, and I reduced it right away before the thien to 4".... I am making a 5" thein, and will reduce to (2) 4" coming out of it.... hopefully it helps a little more.

The advantage to the high mounted blower is you can mount your separator right under it. The HF's and the Jets have the blower mounted on the dolly, so that's a bit tougher. Cool and I'll bet it works great. bill

Thanks for your kind words.

Yeah.... there are times I wish it was like the HF one, where I could mount the blower somewhere else, like others have, but right now, it works for what I need in my garage, in that it is very mobile.

If and when I build my shop, then maybe I will upgrade...... When I can have a more permanent setup.

That is almost exactly what I want to build out of my crappy little Delta 1 HP collector. I've given up on the idea of a fixed location for my collector with a ducting system. Goin' mobile.
