Hi all - I just purchased a HF 2HP dust collector for use in my home workshop, and I'm interested in building one of these separators. It looks like it will be a great addition to the unit. I have a smaller Oneida dust deputy on my shop vac, and have been very pleased with the performance of that unit in separating out dust and chips, and in keeping the filter clean.
My thought right now is to keep the dust collector unit in a separate store room adjacent to my workshop and run the piping through the wall into the workshop. I think this will reduce the noise level, and should also further reduce dust in the shop. I'm also considering purchasing a Wynn filter as a replacement for the stock filter bag on the HF unit.
Thanks Phil for creating the separator design and for hosting this site.
