Dust cyclone separator

[Paul Jones]

C-Bag,

Fantastic narrative on your thinking and fabrication instructions. It is also fun to read because I laughed out loud imagining seeing you wrestling with this "greased pig with razor blades ". So true about the statement "your usual plumbing nightmare" and my four trips to Home Depot (three to buy and the fourth one to return everything I didn't need) trying to find the correct plumbing thread. I am not very good at plumbing. Thank you for the photos and advice.

Question: How do you know when it is time to empty the bucket below the cyclone?

Thank you,

Paul
