Phil,
Nope the ledge does not go all the way around. And I can secure the bag on the outside of the lip. In fact the lower ring is the very same as the upper(see picture in first post).

Well, in picture one here there is around four inches between the inlet bottom and the opening to the lower bag. In picture 2 there is about four inches between the upper and lower ring. Diameter is 15.5''.

1. Your very welcome.
2. Just a closed cell rubber foam from the home center.
3. Thank You
4. Pretty easy, with an angle grinder. About 1/16'' maybe.

Phil,
Now that I have the baffle for my shop vac built, I am going to put one in my Delta 50-760 dust collector(see picture 1). I am wondering if I should build the top baffle in the seperator ring and what size hole should it have in it?(see picture 2 with upper bag removed). Should I put a outlet tube in it that extends into the filter bag? This dust collectors design is somewhat different from the others I have seen, hence the questions.

Just finished Phil's baffle for my shop vac! You can see in the pictures that I used an old beer keg I had lying around for the can. This works great - Thank You Phil, donation to follow.

The pictures show the inside of the shop vac and it's hepa filter after about 2 hours of floor vacuuming and general shop use which would have plugged that filter before. Couldn't be happier!
