Adding Baffle to Jet DC

[coloradotrout]

The "vortex cone" looks pretty flimsy to me, and from the reading here, Thien's baffle seems to be the superior design, so I'm off considering how to adapt my older Jet cartridge DC.   I'm still using the Jet cartridge, which I suppose is like 5 micron or such.   A better filter would be something I should consider.   Anyway.. for now...  re: the baffle.

Theory of operation -- it seems the theory is that the heavier particles "fling" out along the edge and drop into the bag below.   But it does seem to me that the lighter ones would just get sucked "up" into the filter - not?  I can see how the baffle helps to keep the stuff below in the bag as the baffle obviously has to slow the "swirl".   

So the baffle actual goes under the inlet -- about how far below should I locate it?   Another poster suggested using L-brackets to hold, which seems like a good idea --3 around the ring (2 on the larger diam ring that touches the DC, and one perhaps in the middle of the "slot".  Where should the "slot" be placed in relationship to the inlet?   

Thoughts?
