[Woodworkers] Cyclone Dust Collectors

[Dave Heitstuman via Woodworkers]

I too have the Grizzly and would not hesitate to recommend it.  Grizzly has a filter cleaning brush that a guy can periodically run up and down the inside of the filter, and they have now added a bag vacuum (for lack of a better description) to keep the bag in the dust bin.  No more emptying of the bin, just pull the bag out and dispose of it.

They have gone up a bit in price since I bought mine though.

I've been happy with my Grizzly 2HP dust collector I purchased in 1999. They don't make that model anymore, but have similar.

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.

I've been threatening to get a cyclone dust collector for several years, and now I believe the time has come. I've been researching them and they seem to pretty expensive for what they are.

I know Joe built a mini separator for his shop vac and I believe Tom Lovelace has a Clearvue, which comes as a kit.

I am looking for something in the 2Hp - 3Hp and the 1200-1500 CFPM.

Has anyone built one from scratch?  I do have access to a metal shop, with presses, shears, benders, rollers and welders.

If so, do you really save any money?

If anyone has one that they think is the best thing since sliced bread, please do tell.

Thanks
