  1. Another Shop Project...Homemade trash can cyclone

    This homemade trash can cyclone is designed from Thien's plans. A lot of you might have already heard and seen his homemade cyclone idea before. I'm here to say it's the best dust collection system for the price. I hope some large company doesn't come along and somehow steal his idea; he...
  2. Dust Collector Bin - Plus New Separator Concept

    I started to blog about my exploits to improve my dust collection. You can read what is going on so far at my blog. First, I want to say that nothing I write, or say in my soon to be published video, is in any way meant to diminish the awesome design of the Thien Baffle or any of the variations...

    Once again, I've returned to my favorite place to ask questions! This time about dust collection. I've read a lot of forums, Bill Pentz's work, etc…. With all of that, I still have a question. I bought a nice used Jet DC-1000c for my basement workshop. The DC unit has a 6" intake, but came with...
  8. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Based upon reading various posts and articles it is my understanding that the inlet and outlet fittings for a Thien separator (built into a metal garbage can) should be the same size as the inlet fitting on the dust collector. My Harbor Freight dust collector uses a 4 7/8s inch inlet. I would...
