I think I have read all the pertinent articles and posts about dust collector design and theory, but I still want to ask your advice to make sure I'm headed in the right direction. I think I have a fairly unique DC - at least I've never seen anyone else with one on these forums. I have a Cincinatti Fan 3hp dust collector (I have the 300S). I've been piecing it together a little at a time, so I haven't used it at all. The configuration is similar to the way everyone does it (vertical mount, 6" ports, separator lid, etc...), except it doesn't have a baffle like the Thien. Do you guys think that the Thien baffle is all I need to have a good DC setup? Is the barrel tall enough (it's 42" high) that I could mount the baffle right below the lid? Do I need to extend the intake down at all? Any help is greatly appreciated.
