I have a 2 HP harbor freight dust collector that I need to modify so that it’s more space efficient while at the same time helps maintain dust free emissions. I came across some plans that I would like for I follow. Please see photo for visual.

Key notes
1. The cyclone is made using sheet metal and is held in place with a wooden frame that’s anchored to the wall.

2. The filter is strapped horizontally to the ceiling. It is a cartridge type air filter that’s used normally used for diesel trucks (e.g. NAPA 6616). The filter is wrapped inside of a sheet metal housing.

Concerns
1. Is this type of small cartridge filter good enough for minimizing dust emissions? I like this design and configuration for space efficiency just not sure how well it will work

2. Time it will take to make all the parts out of sheet metal. Considering the idea of buying the super dust deputy and using it in this type of application. This way I don’t have to build a cyclone out of sheet metal. I would still use the same filter design.

Looking for some input on the design and whether or not the concerns are worth worrying about.

I think that one will clog up quickly. It's also not easy to access.Look at a canister filter, they are multiple X the size and have a built in scrubber.

Other than the 2" hose. I would eliminate all that small duct, not gonna get much out of that. Better to use a shop vac.

If I use a larger canister filter like the one in the line below can I still mount it horizontally against the ceiling joist or would that impact how it works?
