VERY LONG Cyclone Separator Review (dc to cyclone conversion)

[Mike Weaver]

I have limited space, but want to improve dust control. What do you think of making or buying a cyclone and just venting it outside instead of a filter? It looks like a cyclone gets almost everything.

If you do that, you need to be cognizant of where the replacement air will come from. In other words, you'll draw replacement air from *somewhere*...could be a smoke filled chimney, etc...

That's good thinking. In my case though the air will come through my open garage door. I would probably vent out the side of the garage. Any additional air coming through the open door would be entirely welcome by me.
