I need to get a dust collection going. Been using my ridgid shop vac and know suction power is low cuz of clogging.

I almost bought the $35 Woodcraft lid like this but read that it doesn't really make a cyclone action.

The $50 dust deputy isn't bad but sticks up a lot. Right now I think a 5 gallon bucket is the highest I want to go so I can stuff under a table. I really dont have a corner in the garage for a bigger system right now. Hope to be moving in 6 months and plan to organize my shop with dust collection first.

What lid for a 5 gallon bucket is the best? Is it easy to just make one with PVC parts?
