I was teasing them mate... Kev (Specialised Joinery Products) also threw in a nice Jap saw with a 0.6mm kerf. So i got some thing hi-tech and balanced it with something low-tech..Very Zen of me I thought.

While I've got you, I watched the cyclone video again last night and a couple of questions occurred to me. Is the size of the bottom collector critical (as long as I could buy or make a funnel to fit the diameter)? and; could I connect it up to my Arlec, powered shop-vac?

Congratulations Shedhand.

Do you have a project in mind for your new Domino?

Sheeeeedieeee Well done Id love to gloat with you, but as the newly crowned Fesfool Prez, iv been censured from unessesary gloating. But good on yu

Not yet. But Kevin gave me a little European Beech foot-stool kit to make as a practice piece.

Got lots of ideas though.

The foot stool is good practise, and useful.

Myself, I have more ideas than time . But I bet I'm not alone there.

The size of the bottom collector should not matter provided it is sealed properly. However, I am not the cyclone guru, that would be Sturdee or Gumby.

I have an Arlec 2110 and would have no problem using it with Sturdees cyclone (I used to run my WS2000 with a 1950s vac ) .

The cyclone guru is Wayne Davey, the mini cyclone guru is Sturdee.

Wayne did a lot of work on cyclones and is well worth a read.

I've been asked a few times about the size of the bottom container.

I've used the 15 lt and 20 lt empty paint drums because they are free, readily available and have a good tight sealing system and still keeps it to a reasonable size so easily moved around in the workshop.

However the size is immaterial and larger size containers can be used provided the are tightly sealed.

I have 3 in use and each is powered with a cheap (free from hard rubbish collection ) domestic vacuum so no doubt the Arlec would be okay.
