How to Build this AWESOME Compact Cyclone Separator
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 06. 2015
- I needed some more cyclones and for the purpose of making them I made some templates to make it go faster.
The grey pipes are 50mm in diameter. The orange pipe is 200mm in diameter. The height of the cyclone is 200mm.
Fun Fact: Festool straight out copied my system for their Festool CT Vorabscheider CT-VA-20. - Věda a technologie
Very clever how you cut the inlet hole in the cylinder!
Clever build ! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Matthias. I was just thinking he is a German version of you. :)
This is by far the best cyclone I've seen built. very well done.
Thanks for sharing
+Shop built Thanks! Great you like it!
Hi. I have never seen so well done dust collector. Amazing. Congratulations.
probably one of the best dust collector video. i built mine very easily after seeing your video. Thanks a lot.
Outstanding!
Fantastic workmanship and design!
Nicely done Sir. Your efficiency test was brilliant.
Good point. I see the difference and appreciate you punting it out. Seems like a more efficient design as you demonstrated.
Thanks for sharing the awesome build!
7:08 so satisfying to watch...
An excellent video with amazing results! Nice work!
Great job! would like to see the inside of your shop vac and the filter after a more strenuous test.
Thanks for the upload!
Very nicely done.
Excellent workmanship! I think that I have found the answer to my 1st stage dust collection, only on a larger scale.
Great build. I like the way you made the inlet very smart.
Oh Man. Thank you for making a great instructional video about your cyclone project. You are helping mankind to grow and prosper.
haha thanks ;)
Excellent video with cool and fitting background music. My greatest compliments to a ingenering gifted young man. Thank you for sharing your skills. Now I found the right cyclone dust collector/ Antonio,Thailand.
the fits are so satisfying, amazing job !
Great build and explanations! Thanks for sharing!
Love the clear top, its like staring into a camp fire.
Fantastic!Your skills are outstanding.
Well done and a fun little project.
Based on your video, I built the same device. Works great. I am very happy with it. I do not remember when I had to change the bag in the vacuum cleaner. Thanks !
Wow - loads of massively clever ideas there, especially your template @ 6:46
That is awesome.
Thanks for your video, I have made one based on your design using some large mains water pipe and it works great.
I have tested mine and it is about 99.8% efficience which I am really pleased with.
Very cool! :)
Thanks again for your help. Well done.
More more compliments!!! Special work!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It looks really good, very well done.
Wonderful, very clever design. Thanks for video
Congrats! Great job
Really nice. I like that. That will fit my needs perfectly and all the parts are really easy to get.
I was totally on board with this project until you busted out the pantorouter, then I was like "oh hell no" and then a link pops up "click here for a more common method" and I was right back on board again and was like "oh hells yes". Great work, this is the best cyclone vid out there.
haha, I first thought you were wining about my extensive use of million dollar power tools! :D
Thanks man! Glad you liked it!
very good job ! Nice séparator. Salutations from France.
beautiful work
Great job!
Very useful, as i'm contemplating something similar, but probably scaled up some.
One of these next to each machine would allow a central vacuum to be connected, but with the debris collected local to the machine, instead of being transported back to a central location.
Very nice😃 good job mister Cosmas B. 👍👍
Also proves you have a really clean shop! :-0) Great job
I take it that you like festool colours,great video,great design
malcolm oxley I like green not festool.
Dammit I peed a little when the inlet fits the bucket!
great job
You are really a genius
For the efficiency, just put the once filtered saw shavings through the seperator a second time, weigh before and after the second run through. Great work btw, excellent standard all round.
This is impressive. I have been working on a Thien baffle extractor today, just a rough one, my first. I have an idea which I think might make these extractors more efficient in terms of suction loss. It'll be a bit more difficult to build but I'll have a go and make a video
Thanks for sharing 👍
really good video will save me fortunes on bags for the fein extractor
Awesome wood shop....
very well done. I appreciate you method for the efficiency testing. Have seen a bunch that claim 99% efficient but there methods were usually just guesses.
That was probably the best one I've seen yet. I just wish there was a way to do this inside of the vacuum cleaner itself; so much wasted space inside a normal machine, and it is still the fine dust that eventually clogs the filter. I'm a little hesitant to start building one of these, because I'm afraid to get "sucked in" by the process- I could see spending a lot of time on one of these. Anyhow, awesome work.
pocket83² With a concentric two stage build up it can go inside the cleaner. The tube is set in the center of the cleaner and holds an external baffle. Then the air enters the center tube as second stage but there it does need only a small container for the remaining dust. The bottom of the tube will be enough. The only problem is that there is no 'fine' filter anymore.
I llike it, nice and smart done.
thx for sharing/
Great !!!!
nice colors
Super boulot merci.
Awesome!
Im impressed! Good joob
Nice engineering sir.
Very good thanks.
A very neat job indeed, great work, hope mine will be half as good,...I doubt it. Thnx
Nice work! To improve even further on the efficiency of the cyclone, could you increase the difference in height between the inlet-pipe and the notch in the outlet-pipe? You have built more of these obviously, what have you learned to improve your design even more?
Wow. That is cool the way you put the baffle on the end of the pipe. Mine is ever so ugly, compared to this. I do however have as close to 100% as I can measure, just like yours. I am of he belief that the top needs to be pure cylindrical, and not a bucket (slightly conical).
If Carlsberg made cyclones they could not beat that, brilliant Sehr Schone, Having that thickness of plexi is great Ill have to have a go, very instructive video I congratulate you
C'est vraiment très ingénieux. Du très beau travail.
Perfect cut ;)
Great Build!Any chance on an Update Video/Comment on a Large Scale Clean-Up. Would love to see the Efficiency Percentage.
Piu' bello di quelli che si comprano in negozio..
Complimenti... 👏👏👏
Шикардос! Очень грамотный подход.
Absolutely Brilliant Cosmas! you are a superb perfectionist to which I one can aspire too. Having good quality and precise equipment really can do wonders eh? especially that router pantograph jig you made. And as always, a great presentation video. Good choice of music too. A big like from me. Cheers Cosmas :)

Thanks . I will try.

Sehr schön.

Very nice build! Do you share plans / measurements? also, which type of double sided tape did you use? Thanks!
Nice tablesaw/router table, did you make that? Nice work.
Great!
Spitze! Sauber gemacht! Aber Deine Werkzeugausstattung ist auch sehr professionell.
Great Work!! Very inspiring!! The black hose has an inner diameter of 32 mm (1 /14 inch)? Seems like you improvise a reduction after the 90 degrees curve, is that right?
Thanks for sharing the video, no wonder Germans are so ahead in technology!
Hi.
I want to build this but I also have a problem withthe fine dust filtering since I only have a regulare house vacuum, cleaner.
do you have any recommendations as to how to go about this matter?
perhaps a reccomendation as to what air filter to buy on line and how to install i (maybe as a separate station between the cyclone and the vacuum)
Thnx
Parabéns pelo vídeo é show de bola.
Can you list the glues you use? Can you tell us what glues to use with different material? Seems you use a lot of the same stuff :) Great build, really, smooth and firm!
Is the hat vac the best you have built ? It seems that downward force is good in keeping the dust down
hey awesome project
I have 3 question for you, the green disc sitting in the end off the suction pipe inside the cyclone, what is the diameter of that disk....?
And the length of the gray pipe with the green disc in the end, how long is that form the inner side of the plexiglass too green disc....? and the length of the notch made in the gray pipe how long is that....?
Hey Cosma,
Nice built again!
I have build also a cyclone utilizing your videos.
However my baffle keeps collapsing very easy. Any ideas how to avoid this?
-Chris
Ya awesome, I flipping 😍
Cosmas, I'm in the process of making a separator very similar to your design, which I like very much. Would you be kind enough to answer a couple of questions for me? 1) How close to the top should the intake pipe be? 2) I'm using a 9-inch diameter tube that looks to be similar to your orange pipe and would like to know if the length of this tube matters. In other words, is there any advantage to making the distance to the baffle closer or farther away from the intake? Thanks so much from Arizona.
How many inner diameter - lower circle (which is attached to a gray tube), and the distance from it to the Plexiglas? Thanking you in advance.
Bravo
Que bien, cuantas herramientas tienes para mostrar.
super
they 're going to need you in Mars for ideas :)
Deadly accurate! What I most of all appreciate. I have one question about dust. This system good catches sawdust but I suffer of fine dust. Especially of MDF. How about that? How much fine dust pass through and left on vacuum cleaner filters?
Vladimir Evdokimov Great question. Centrifugal separators have a practical limit of effectiveness somewhere between 10-30 microns. Below that, there's not much mass but there's plenty of surface area to give your lungs trouble. And your vacuum filter will only catch that if it's a good HEPA system. On the plus side, this will keep your HEPA filter in good shape and able to do what it's best at, which is filter the truly fine particles.
I really interested in more fine dust remowing. Now I finished my new homemade saw and router and thinking about dust collection.
A separator like this one is a good first stage. You will still need a good HEPA filter for the super-fine dust which is buoyant and cannot be separated this way.
Ya, nice at 2:20.
Interesting that you left the baffle opening as a complete circle. Most people have a partial opening of just 240-270 degrees.
Great job, are you selling your design now?
+Francis Barnett No only for my own demand :)
safety!
Witam. Jaki jest wymiar wewnętrznego dysku? Może mi pan powiedzieć również, jaka
głęboka jest długość rury centralnej, pod pleksi i ile jest również
długość części pociętego na centralnej rurze? Dzięki za odpowiedź.

For camera, get a head band to hold it so you can use both hands :)
1:44 That's Cosmas B on lead router!
Уроки труда в школах так надо вести ))

What is the efficiency when it's half or 2/3 full?
very clever and super Quality Job maintain all the way, What if your Orange Tube is 3 " Longer ,,Is that make Any Different ?
Thanks! making it longer is ok making it shorter seems to be a slight problem.
