I know, I know, non overlapping magisteria.
I am looking at upgrading my DC ahead of buying some bigger machines but I still really like the ability to vacuum up all the shavings produced by the handplanes. Currently I have a 2HP single stage with a cyclone/trashcan separator lid and 4" hoses. It works ok but it tends to clog up a lot on the super thin plane shavings which seem to bypass the separator and get clogged in the impeller. I'm designing more or less form scratch so can go with 6" ducts, 4" ports and a full cyclone. (was thinking about a v3000).
Short of setting the cutting depth of the #3 thicker, has anyone found a way to tweak a regular cyclone for ht shavings? Do I want to roll my own and go Thiel? I can potentially maintain two systems but that seems like a lot of work.
Any ideas?
