Title: Baffle for a 4 inch dust
Post by: Woodcarver on July 21, 2010, 04:07:58 PM

I've been reading many of the posts here and I'm quite impressed with the design and the input from everyone. I followed the design and built a small unit with a 5 gallon bucket and shop vac ducting. It worked very well. Now I plan to build a larger unit for a 2HP dust collector and 4" ducting.
My question is should I still maintain the 1 1/4" gap at the perimeter of the baffle or should it be increased due to the larger ducting? From what I have read here the gap should still be 1 1/4" but I wanted to ask before I started cutting. The major diameter for my baffle is 22".

Thanks

I made mine a 1.250" on a two hp. collector, and works fine.
