Thank you for your reply.

This separator would only be used with my bench grinder so I would not care how ugly it becomes.

My only concern is I would be using it with a shop vac that also is used for collecting wood dust and chips (from my lathe) and worried about starting a fire in the wood particles.

But from what I read on the posts the grinder debris should never reach the shop vac or if any of it does would be cool enough to not be a problem - yes or no?

I would like to know if one of these separators would be safe to use attached to a benchtop grinder that is used to sharpen lathe tools. I really don't want to have to buy another shop vac, and am hoping all of the dust from the grinder wheel will stay within this separator.
