Where to get Dust extraction impeller/motor??

Only a picture. I didn't do a build thread because, to be frank, I thought it would fail and I'd need to re-do it. It actually turned out to be fantastic, much to my surprise.

I'm using a simple filter on the end (testament to how miniscule the soft of dust that gets through), but also because it's a 2hp motor and only hooked up to the tablesaw, so any reduction in power from using a small filter doesn't matter.

Happy to chat through any specifics of you like, but they're are plenty of videos and articles on them I guess

I got given a fan unit from a grain store venting system, shoved it on a giant cyclone and it works a treat. Might be worth asking some farmers if they have some laying about (likely!)

That's weird... I'd swear I posted a response last night. Ah well... let's try again:

That looks great. I'd worry the filter is too small, but then I guess the separator must be working well as otherwise it'd clog very quickly.

What are the dimensions of the separator (diameter, height, protrusion of the outlet into the separator, slot width)?
