Thanks to Phil Thien's design and all of the other contributors to this forum, I purchased the DeWalt DW735X and constructed a separator build for it. Below are a few of the photos from this project during construction and the results from first two tests, both of which were better than any of my expectations.
Briefly, the build is from 1/8" hardboard, 1/2" birch plywood, an automobile air filter element, and a 10-gallon metal bucket. The design was predicated on the whole assembly fitting on the circa 1963 Craftsman radial arm saw mobile stand which I refurbished, beneath the table top thickness planer. The hardboard was used for not just for the primary baffle, but also was used for the vertical walls of the separator. This required the two 48" long strips to first be slightly dampened, formed, and dried prior to their lamination. Wooden dowels were used to maintain precise registration throughout construction and during final assembly. The first tests were performed with the full 10-foot length of hose and the assembly situated on top of my table saw to better observe any mishaps. The 8/4 poplar board of test one produced zero chips in the filter compartment with only a very little bit of fine dust visible after wiping. After a thorough cleaning, the second test used a birch board with identical results.
