Well, I'm finally getting around to building the mini cyclone for my shop vac.
My shop vac sucks, as in it is not very good, it does a decent job until it fills up a bit, the paper cartridge filter works well too, but in no time at all the thing is full. I looked at buying a new one, a better one, but the one I want, an nice Makita is around $500
I've been busy, got a lot on my plate as of late, so I did not take many pictures..............
I've still got to do the inner cylinder and the air ramp, but so far the cone was the most difficult part.
Not sure what I'll do with the transition for the inlet, might just get the heat gun out and form some PVC pipe?
Should work fine when I done, the larger version of it works VERY well.
Cheers!
