J. Phil Thien's Projects

Just finished a job and got my tools home.  want to get at this collector.

Does any one know of a place to buy an impeller ?

Next, but I have been thinking, always a dangerous thing.

Has anyone ever tried using an air stream, from a small compressor to direct dust down the side of the collector.  Some where 2/3's of the way of the lower baffle ?

Not a huge stream of air, but enough to direct the dust down and hopefully more will settle .


Ok 3 questions.  Phil I noticed some people we remarking how there was fine dust on the underside of the lower baffle.  Has anyone tried a shape of the bottom of the baffle.  ie 1/2 a ball.

Or is there a bit of inherint static that the fine dust clings to ?

Hi

Nice site here.  Thanks for all the effort.

I just bought a metal trash can, got some plywood and ready to get at it.

Just a couple questions.

Has anyone ever tried, having the main exhaust pipe extend under the baffle ?

Has anyone tried beveling the bottom of the baffle, to see if that aids in seperation ?

Up in Good old Canada we don't have a Harbor freight, Does any one know were to get a decent impeller ?

Thanks in advance.
