Thanks for the reply.
It is a white plastic drum.  Probably soap or some kind of cleaner in it originally.
It has two 2" bungs in it.
I have not cut the top off yet.
I'm really after the big chips from jointer and planer since my main collector is in a spot where emptying the drum is a chore.

I'm going to give this a whirl (ha ha) I think.

I'll let you know what I find.

Great site and awesome help here. Thanks.  I very much appreciate the expertise and sharing going on here.

Very refreshing!!

I have a Woodsucker Cyclone.
I plan a Thein separator on my jointer and planer line using a 30 gallon plastic barrel.
I plan side inlet using a modified HVAC register boot.
However, I can only find a 6" boot locally.  I have 4" duct at the point where this separator will be located.

Will 4" to 6" expander ahead of inlet then 6" outlet to 4" piping present any huge problems?

I think I've got a handle on baffle construction otherwise.

Thanks for your input
