[Woodworkers] Cyclone Dust Collectors

[Mike Hales via Woodworkers]

I built mine using a Penn State DC and plans from wood plans online 
(Wood Magazine Issues # 100). I had a local sheet metal HVAC shop cut 
out the pattern for the cone for me and they supplied all the 6" duct 
work.  It worked great in my 8' X 16' shop, but I think I had too 
large-diameter ducting overall.

I'm just finishing my new shop and will be hanging the beast in there, 
with somewhat re-designed piping. I'm thinking about 4" PVC this go 
around and some better blast gates.
