NERemodeling Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I have the steel one, I bought it years ago.. I don't think there is any reason to go with the metal one.. the plastic will serve you fine.it just sat for a while until probably a year ago when I got serious about dust collection. I built my own wood box that integrated with my festool CT vacs. It seriously works amazing!I use it with my planex for drywall sanding, table saw, planers and routers.I've made a few mods to it since this picture but nothing major. One is I use a much shorter hose from the top to the vac.I essentially made my own ultimate dust deputy, I couldn't justify spending 250 when I already had the parts to build one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 i agree with you NER, for those cyclones they just want to much money, you can easily build one out of a galvanized metal sheet or a street cone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 metal was pricey but plastic one was on sale for $44 free shipping thought that was reasonable..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 $44 is pretty nice - i cant find any under $60 - always 60-75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NERemodeling Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Those street cone ones are crazy! Not the best thing to look at but I bet they get the job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadlanthier Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I never thought about theses, I thought my dust extractor was all I needed. But damnit I think I might pick one of these up know. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfwjr Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 You could build a Thien Separator if you do not want to buy one. You can size it to the container of your choice. I built one for a 7 gallon bucket but I have seen some built on a 30 gallon trash can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
