Just saw the new dowel jig, looks good so far. Can it be configured to do dowel holes in a panel, like if I wanted to dowel shelves together for a bookcase?

Thien Cyclone Separator Lid Discussion / Progress finally!
January 28, 2016, 06:25:25 PM
A year and a half of having a 2HP DC sitting in pieces in the corner of my shop and I finally have some progress on my new collector. This will be my 3rd Thien setup, I have an "in the can" shopvac setup, and a tophat "push" collector connected to my dewalt 735 planer that have both seen lots of use and still working fantastic.
Looking forward to having dust collection for the tablesaw and the jointer with the addition of this setup.

Thien Cyclone Separator Lid Discussion / tophat design goof confirmation
January 17, 2016, 06:26:53 PM
I started working on a tophat this weekend, using the collector ring of a dust collector as the body. I was going to use a rubbermaid 77l (20gal) trash can, but realized the collector ring is about 1/2-3/4" larger in diameter than the bucket. That isn't going to work for me is it?

Thien Cyclone Separator Lid Discussion / just finished a push seperator for a dewalt 735 planer

I picked up a Dewalt 735 planer over the holidays, and just finished a tophat push separator similar to the one brdad made ( http://www.jpthien.com/smf/index.php?topic=809.0 )
Good lord the blower on these planers pushes a lot of air! My first test run I only had the top secured with 2 sided tape and it popped right off.
I should probably paint it as it is mostly made of scraps I had laying around the shop.

Thien Cyclone Separator Lid Discussion / New to me dust collector, good candidate to do a "side flip" and add baffle?
May 26, 2014, 07:18:19 PM
Finally stepping up from the shop vac/can topper thien seperator, just picked up a King Canada KC-3108C 2HP single stage collector for $100.
The collector ring isn't what I was expecting though, it has a spiral air ramp in it. Not sure where I should be positioning the baffle.
I really like the setup TX_Lenadore has here http://www.jpthien.com/smf/index.php?topic=1054.0 and want to do something similar.
A bit of help with positioning the baffle would be greatly appreciated.
