Pecker its not the size of the garage that matters but the length of pipes used and the design of the pipes. Tight 90 degree bends and T junctions are bad better use Y junctions and long 90 degree bends and lots of blastgates to cut the run and only allow one opening at a time. You have two...

Dellboy some of the filters are Donaldson Torit P527080-461-436 or sometimes callec 262-5015 Donaldson P18116 Both are Cartridge filters - one is flame retartant Barry

Just make sure that the counter top covers all the errors with the walls. This is what I did, but my daughter decided 1 year later to change the counter top using a narrower one - pain in the ass - had to fit a ali cover strip to hide the gap. Follow Scrits advice he has fitted loads of...

Stewart next time buy your Y pieces and blastgates from Charwood - they are much cheaper Barry

Got the Raizer at half price - no box etc. Very bad demo of incra - decided to keep my money.The router plate was the wrong one - now waiting for another from USA - how many months do you think I will wait?? Barry

Jason I will have to come and work as you assistant for two days to help you save for your tools as I checked out your next Legacy last Friday and with the vertical Legacy to come you will need all of your pennies. Barry

Your 1.5HP motor will need very short hose to run 6" pipe if it works at all. Even with 4" your runs will have to be short. Bill's 5HP motor and impellor cost too much for me and 6" piping would have to be metal AC tubing. Barry

Paul they could use the mini 'cyclone' with a vacuum cleaner like this Its simple to make And you fit a funnel from a brewing shop like this

Paul if you reduced the diameter to 10" say the cyclone height would be 31" and use 4" pipe and a 1 or 2HP motor. This would allow the dust collector bin to be of a reasonable height - side mount or top mount the motor. Barry ps gravity alone will not work with MDF dust

Francis Another option you could consider is getting CCL to make the main body out of 450mm diameter and the cone with a 150mm outlet. I got a quote of £139 including VAT using the Pentz's dimensions and I don't get trade prices. At £800 it would be cheaper to import the perspex Clearvue...

Paul having made 2 mini cyclones and about 4 different dust bucket and just one large cyclone, I am game to give anything a try but we have to get a lot more specific. I am all for thinking outside the box (Edward D or Tom P) but I have found nothing during my search to lead me in another...

Roger I remember reading this paper and some others but the arguments put forward on the Pentz's site was more compelling. Changing the dust collection at each machine to improve the flow is just as important as the cyclone itself. I have made new 4" collection points for my table saw, router...

Francis I am just down the road from you in Camberley and you can come over and see my cheapie cyclone and possible build another one. I started out looking for a sheet metal shop to build one. First off I was quoted £250+VAT and I gave the go ahead. After 4 months of excuses and an...

Stewart Don't forget with a heat gun you can mould most things with PVC piping

There is a simple solution Cut say a 1-2" section of the 110mm pipe . Cut a piece out of the pipe so that it can fit on the inside of the 110mm pipe - glue in place. This reduction then allows it to fit a 100mm pipe or gate. If you are in France on holiday go into the DIY and buy some of their...

Some of the Aldi's still have the £8.99 digital calipers from there last promotion

Steve I have owned the Triton router table for 18 months now. It was made first router table and I bought it as it was easy to fit the Triton router to. Its price was less than £90 and compared well . To get the router plate level with the table takes some time and if you keep removing the...

I walk into my garage workshop and discovered 1/2" of water on the floor on the far side and the same amount at the garage door but none in the middle. Cannot figure out how it got to the far side but at the door the drain was a problem with last nights down pour. Fortunately all my benches and...

I considered the Triton plate but rejected it as it does not have and leveling screws and time taken to get the Triton table level.
