Your setup sounds like a good implimentation of 6" duct and tool ports. I'm interested in seeing some photos of your setup, both the DC and the ports on your tools. If you can take the photos and don't mind posting them, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I see now where you detailed the construction of the nuetral vane with a link.

So did you arrive at a conclusion whether it is more effective with nuetral vane installed, or about the same, or? Are you running your DC with it or w/o it now?

A separate question is: What is the measurement of the width of the "collar" on which the Wynn filter sits? Mine is 9" and I'm wondering if your "Hoover" is the same? My diameter is the same as yours. Would you mind putting a tape on the collar and tell me the width. Very nice documentation and pics, by the way to help those of us who are just starting to get their tools and shops put together. Thanks very much.

I like your design and detailed photos on the HF mod withthe baffle inside. I plan make one to fit my Shop Fox DC. Could you please give some details on the nuetral vane you installed? What material did you use? Is the pipe one diameter or did you make it a smaller diameter on the end that extends into the baffle? In the photo it does appear a bit smaller. Where did you place the pop rivets to make sure it stays in place? Thanks again for sharing your detailed pics and writeup.
