Dust collction

[tri4sale]

I have a Jet 1100, it's 1 1/2 HP, only run on the CNC machine, and does fine job picking up dust. I've cut Max-Metal (aluminum composite panel - aluminum on each side and HDPE core) and it picked up alot of the chips but not all.

A cyclone is a must, when I first set mine up and learning, I'd mess up tabs and the small pieces would get sucked up DC and BAM!!! hit the blades. I installed a garbage can cyclone lid in line and now when I make a mistake the large parts go in the garbage can and nothing hits the fan blade.

Jet has a new model (not sure if it's out yet) that has the cyclone built in.

What is this a thein separator and where do u get one. Also. How did u install the cyclone on existing one

Do a google search for Thein Separator and you will see how to construct one. Mine is the the kind that sits on top of a barrel I used wiggle wood to form the outer shell

They go inline before your vac.
For 1-5hp vacs look at these.
I have two of their small ones for the Desktops and it keeps the vacs filter so clean that I have a very constant vac and no filter cleaning Love them!

That shop fox has alot of CFM for the money shouldI get that and add a seperator?

Collector on built in cyclone model seems small to me.
Double bagger is same model I use for cnc and big slider and it could easily handle more.
Guys have discussed fine microns getting clogged easily and losing pull as a result but I have never used one.
You can add your own cyclone and have it drop into a trashcan easily. Mounted with a bracket on the wall means you just pull the can right out for quick changing and less hassle with the bags.

If Put a cyclone on it do I need a double bagger or would this work? So if i understand correctly the cyclone helps store some of the larger pieces that go through? so say if something accidentaly got sucked up it would drop in it instead of going through impeller?

You need the fine micron filter, if you do not have a great filter you do not have a dust collector you have a dust mover and unless you are moving it outside you are slowly killing yourself.
