But looking at it does it look like theoretically everything else should be alright other then narrowing the slot and getting rid of the lip? Is the baffle to thick I've read some places using 3/4 plywood is bad and you want to use 1/4 stuff but everyone always has their own opinion.

Thien Cyclone Separator Lid Discussion / 6" Top hat
October 08, 2013, 08:43:40 PM
So me and a friend from work have been talking about building a top hat thien for awhile and we finally did.
Now for clarity I have 2hp Grizz DC and I am using 6" pipe everywhere up until the machine 4" ports, now we just went off the typical design of what everyone else has done using 4" pipe for the inlet and return.
The problem is it's not separating well I'd say maybe 70% of the chips make it into the barrel the other 30-40% are in the bag I've tried adjusting the height of the return pipe up and down with minimal effect. I will get some pics up in a few minutes but off the top of your heads is there something we did wrong?
Does the top hat have to be taller for 6" pipe or a wider slot...I'm at a loss.
