I've been reading/lurking for close to a year now. Lots of great designs and interpretations have been produced. I'm planning of building a tophat unit for my DC in my shop, I will try to avoid a questions thread when I get to that. There is loads of amazing information already here and a lot of it has been answered in the last year.
I am also considering a smaller one for my shopvac, probably to place on a 5gal. bucket. The primary use of my shopvac is sucking up drywall dust as I'm sanding. I'm not always fortunate enough to be renoing a place where the dust can just "fly".
So does anyone have any experience with this set up and drywall dust? What are some thoughts....would it work, a bit, not at all...? I'm not looking for perfection, just longer work times before the filter needs to be banged out. I'm thinking the slot in the bottom of the top hat probably could be reduced to 3/4" wide. Or would it be better to keep it wider, like in the 1" range?
Any advice/help/ideas are welcome.
