J. Phil Thien's Projects

Hi, new here.  Just completed my separator using the 2620 "Brute".  I wanted to use it knowing full well that it will collapse in it's purchased form.  I have lots of metal working skills and tools, so it was easy to reinforce the Brute.  2) 3" 16 ga. bands strategically placed inside produce the desired result.  I picked up the Rubbermaid 4 wheel dollie that "twist-locks" to the Brute and trailer hitched it to my model 600 Industrial ShopVac.  It drives nice, and this sucker sucks!.  I followed Phil's separator design to the letter, and it is a sweet machine.  Tip: Ridgid makes a 2 1/2" short hose that is just right between the separator and the vac.  It is called the "tag-along hose" and is available at HD.  The one thing left to do is send my "appreciation" donation to our administrator.  Oh, and thanks Phil.
