Greetings,
Excellent idea!
A picture of your design was an example of a dust collector solution for knife builders on Bladeforum.com. I just purchased a 2hp DC @ 1300 cfm and wanted to build your cyclone lid as a pre-stage into my DC. I want to add 4" of water on the bottom of the containment can as I am grinding metal and wood at the same time. I plan to empty the can after every use to ensure of no fires!
Unfortunately I can not find a metal garbage can anywhere. Will a plastic can work?
What volume or size of container is ultimate for the best performance of the cyclone?
Example a 30 gal = 20" diameter lid or a 5 gal = 11 3/4" diameter lid?
Thanks,
Dennis
