UK Cyclones

[beech1948]

I am based in the UK

I have two record RD4000 dust extractors.   These are the oil drum size cans with 2 x 1hp motors.   On one I have a Thien Top hat design for past 2.5 yrs.

On the other I have a cyclone made up from a kit provided in the UK by a guy on the ukworkshop.co.uk web site.     His web address is http://www.cyclonecentral.co.uk/ and his 4 inch cyclone is only £89 and is similar to the Clearvue cyclones from the US except for the external sucker source.    I'm trying to organise a comparison with the Thien Top Hat and these cyclones and will let you all know what happens.
