I'm building a small all-in-one tophat style DC for use with 3 inch (max) hose. What sort of off the shelf items can I use for the tangential inlet? A couple times in the past I have taken PVC pipe and bandsawed a taper & glue/screw it to a plastic flange but that method is extremely fussy--but it's cheap :)
In this instance the cut away portion would also need to be curved to match the curvature of the tophat body. Sounds like too much trouble to me.
Do most of you fab a rectangular box & then cut that to fit the curve? Any other nifty ideas?
