My garage is not heated, so I think I should be ok there.

Thien Cyclone Separator Lid Discussion / Moving the dust collector itself outside?
June 10, 2012, 10:38:10 AM
Has anyone put their actual dust collector outside? My house has a perfect spot behind the garage which doesn't get wet, so that seems like it could work. Would be nice to be able to move the noise of the motor outside, as well as the chip collection and filter...or perhaps even skip the filter.
Thoughts?

Attached are some photos of my DC3300.
Inlet seems to be 4 11/32" diameter. The mating part is 3 15/16" where it splits from one outlet to the three.

I am very interested in this as well. I have a dc3300 and would love to see it hit its maximum potential. I recently got a HF 2HP unit, but would love to be able to return it in favor of sticking with the dc3300.
Note - if you remove the front portion of the hose connections, there is a single inlet that is something like 3 1/2 inches or so. I measured a while back but didn't write it down. With the 42" bag and the front port opened up it seems like there is a decent ammount of suction going on. The bag certainly takes quite a hit in terms of the fine dust, so there is room for improvement there. I imagine you could adapt a cartridge filter to it with some sheet metal.
I might try pulling mine apart and see about taking some photos.
