I’m upgrading my 2 hp grizzly dust collector with a dust deputy and a cartridge filter. Does is matter if I use a round container like a barrel or can I simply use a square container. I know everyone uses round containers but is it because barrels/drums/large round garbage cans are easy to come by or is there any “science” behind it?
I want to build or buy something slimmer and taller so the container still has the equivalent cubic space to a 30-55 gallon barrel. The reason for this is simply to have a smaller footprint. I don’t think a square shape would have an adverse affect since the cyclone action is happening in the dust deputy before the particles drop in the container.
Is there a problem with my idea?
