Thien Cyclone Separator Lid Discussion / Re: Duct Work/ Duct size

I appreciate your info. I have a radial arm saw, a bandsaw, and a open run that I would like to use for my 10" table saw and/or my 12" planer. I also have a disc/belt sander, 6" jointer and a lathe. The sander, jointer and lathe will probably not be attached to the system due to it being in the back of the shop and would require a run of 20 feet or so including all the curves and straight sections.
I was thinking about running 3" 26ga furnace pipe but I don't know if I can find all the fittings.
I was worried somewhat about the PVC as I read about it causing fires.
Hope this gives you a better idea what I want to accomplish.

Thien Cyclone Separator Lid Discussion / Duct Work/ Duct size
May 01, 2008, 05:40:34 PM
Need more info. In my last post, I stated that I was planning to use my shop vac with a 2 1/2" hose for my DC. My shop is only like 10X12. I have been doing alot of reading on the net about DC systems and have read about the possible fires if using PVC pipe, about the ribs in flexible hose reducing the efficiency and producing drag, and that furnace pipe is ideal but expensive.
Also most sites say to use 4, 5, 6 inch pipe up to as big as 10". I am not made of money, I am just looking for a system that works and doesn't cost a fortune.
What are the pros and cons of running 2 1/2" flexible hose?
90 degree elbows, 45 ells, or long sweep ells?
Blast gates on each run?
I appreciate your opinion.
Thank you

Thien Cyclone Separator Lid Discussion / Baffle Size
May 01, 2008, 11:34:25 AM
I am planning on building a DC and using the 10 gallon can. I know what size lid to make. My question is the baffle, do I measure down 3 inches into the can and cut it for a tight fit or should it have some clearance on the sides?
Also I will using a Sears shop vac with the 2 1/2" hose. Will this size hose be sufficient for my runs? Also should I install shutoffs at each to to keep the suction dedicated to the tool that I am using?
What are your thoughts of running my hose high on the wall and use drops for each tool, versus running at the approximate height of the tools?
Sorry for all the questions.
One final question, how do I send a donation?
Thank you
