I wanted a dust collector with a bigger container for shavings and one that avoinds most of the typical shop vac problems.
I used the power head from an old shop vac and built a new housing out of a steel barrel and a piece of acrylic pipe. The key part of the new housing is the cyclone separator that is located underneath the original cartrige filter. The cyclone filters out all the bigger particles and leaves only the very fine ones for the cartrige filter. - Věda a technologie
This was packed with great ideas. It was a joy to watch.
Nice Cosmas! I had a similar idea that I wanted to try, so thanks for showing how well it works :)
Thanks :)
looking forward to your solution!
Very clever power tapping method, Caulk molding, everything! I'm going to do this to my cheap carpet vac, I found an extra canister and you showed a great way of stacking the cylindrical parts.
One of the cleanest builds I've seen. I especially like how you fitted the dust inlet.
I'm in the process of making one of these right now with parts from a neighbor's discarded vacuum. Thanks for the wood adapter idea! It's easy to make and just what I need to connect two parts of my creation.
Cool! Have fun! :)
That's a good modification of the Thien design. Btw, I think it would be a good safety idea to make wheel covers for your band saw!
Only on You tube can you find a few geniuses who invent the wheel in the most brilliant creative way. ;)))Congratulations and thanks for posting and giving us new ideas.
It's very satisfying to see all the dust get swept away.
What a clever talented young man , a beautiful build. Perfectly executed
👍😉
Awesome! This one looks really good and it's pretty cool that you kept it all transparent.
Thanks :)
I like the fact that it is clear so that you can see what is going on, great build.
The best conversion of a shopvac that I've seen so far. Brilliant work, thanks for sharing! ;-)
Thanks :)
I've been bouncing around a new dust collection system for months in my head, this was really interesting to watch. I like it.
I made a quick Thien baffle from some old plastic sheet and offcuts of OSB. The thing is amazing! Almost 100% dust collection and no loss of suction. Next project a Thien chamber to fit between the top and drum of my shop vac. This is a good video with useful ideas
This is the nicest one I've seen so far
that was an awesome video man. The camera work getting showing everything, not to mention the quality of work. Definitely impressed.
That was beautiful. Best I've seen yet.
this looks to be by far the best design- structure and function, that I've seen. superbly crafted sir👏
Quite bright! Sleek design too! Well done!
Nice work and very professionally done. I like the idea of using the construction adhesive and plastic wrap, to size the tapered hole in the hose adapter. I'm going to file that away for future reference. Hope you have a happy new year.
Lots of Innovation here. Well done!
Very cool. The transparent tube is a nice touch.
This is a classy build Cosmas, and as Pocket83 says below: "This was packed with great ideas. It was a joy to watch." Thank you. Liked and subscribed.
Superb! I love how it's more sleek and space-saving than your previous design. :-)
Thanks Olly, great you liked it! :)
Once again a great video. Happy new year Cosmas
Great design. I like the small footprint it takes.
Nice job love the clear view of the operation , nice design
Very nice compact design! Your design save a lot of space!
fabulous most interesting and innovative dust collection design I have seen. Wordy of a commercial product
A slight modification to the Thein baffle but innovative of you to include the motor head and filter into one machine!
Would be interesting to see a comparison of operation between all renditions of your cyclone shop vacs? Thanks for making this cyclone vac with clear acrylic. I'm sure you like watching it perform also.
Genius!!! I was thinking that might work, but alas I was afraid to bugger up my vac by trying it. Thanks for sharing. I love you work.
Elegant solution, nicely done.
Long time since I have seen any innovative diy cyclones, but this one really is! Great space saving idea. Love the clear acrylic, and won't even think of how much that would cost getting in Norway...
It is super expensive. Really annoying...
this is the best that 's on you tube by far,well done young un
Sweet intro, and we love to watch your cyclone's.
I have liked and subscribed. I enjoy your ideas, but also your videos.
They are clear, well formed, not to 'chatty' or to long with unneeded details.
They are pleasant.
Very very interesting indeed! Clever and well done. Thanks! Cool bandsaw!
Thanks :)
Very nice design. Thanks for sharing.
Really nice job
Great cuts!
Very accurate work. I applode for your neatness.
Well done!
Is richtig klasse geworden :)
Daumen hoch und ein erfolgreiches neues jahr gewünscht :)
Very impressive work. I like that.
beautifull work again!
nice build, simple, clear, makes me wanna do the same thing in my micro workshop :D
WoW ! Brillant :) Nice job !
Excellent cyclone Sir.
Well done
Great job ! Excellent work...I like. Congratulations from France
Nice work!
Great Video, keep them coming!
Excellent project, very well done...
Thanks :)
Very impressive work. You're a wiz with Perspex
you are good ,Thank you from Canada.
hands down the best shop vac cyclone conversion I've seen.. But I'm guessing one of the most expensive with all that acrylic pipe lol
Yes that stuff is really expensive!
Good job
nice work with the caulking as a gasket.
Amazing work! At first, I thought you purchased the acrylic cylinder with the inlet dust port already there, but you cut it and glued it, and it looks like it was already manufactured like that.
Wow! Pure Genius!
You are absolutely amazing Really enjoy watching your vids
Thanks :D
Super geil wie immer!
Danke!
This looks like a great build. However, I'm looking for some clear tubing like you used and it is quite expensive. Just 1 or 2 ft of large clear tubing already costs more than buying a commercially produced cyclone. Can you please share where you got your tubing?
sehr elegante Konstruktion!
very nice
Cyclonic Shop Vac R2-D2 ))) Good work )
haha :D
this must be the best cyclone build i have ever seen on youtube.
Thanks, glad you liked it :)
top job bro
great job ))
That looks very professionally made! Just maybe paint the wood. But it's looks and functions awesome!
I think you got it the way you want it this time! Excellent idea for using shop vac head! Nice use of plastic! Do you and Marius Hornberger communicate with each other often or perhaps mat even have visited each other?
finally a face to go with those hands. nice project BTW. simple one for me to do maybe
Nice!
RetroWeld, you have interesting channel, subscribed!
I've subscribed you do great videos keep it up good job
Thanks :)
Thank you .
Take of my bombshell
Enter in happiness .
Great idea! Do you find that the filter picks up more fine particles here than when it was in a separate bin?
I REALLY like this kind of all-in-one design. I’ve watched this video a number of times. However, the exit port from the cyclone appears to be inside the dust separation chamber, mere inches from the inlet. I wonder if more vertical separation between inlet and exit would improve performance. I’ve also seen some cyclones with the exit below the baffle, but that raises concern about the possibility of pulling dust from the dust bin, or bucket. How about a baffle with sides, like an inverted bowl, that extends down into the bucket, and the exit port in the center? Very little chance of pulling dust from the incoming stream that way. Appreciate your work and creativity. Please continue. And please stay healthy and safe.
richtig gute Idee, sieht etwas aus wie aus Star wars
Stimmt :D
hi. if you have a when big ridgid vacuum like 14 gal do you know if it would work if you put a cyclone inside the canisters?? so I guess you would bucket over the filter and put a hole on the bucket and put the entire unit in the canister...I am thinking that way you would save space and keep it mobile.
Good
Great video! Does the assembly easily tip over?
Great 👏🏼
Muito bom
genius
Lol! Brilliant!
Hi Cosmos, great idea and I hope to recreate something similar myself! Please can you advise what material you use to make that hose adaptor at 7:25? Great idea. Cheers,
Dan
Hi. Do you have a video of your router jig or more picture of it . Would like to make one for myself .
Just built my own version based on this and Marius' and others, except I used 0.7mm galvanized steel, it was much cheaper than acryllic or polycarbonate. I used a square inlet though. I have this memory of reading that it's more efficient, also a bigger diameter pipe (76mm) in the center since I believe a lower air velocity in the center reduced air velocity there, which increases separation.
I noticed that the acrylic or polycarbonate was very expensive. Where did you order your steel from? Thanks
I'm in Finland so my choice of store is likely no use to you, I went to the nearest construction / machine rental place, they have rolls and sheets of stuff.
Thank you for the info
Hello i also made one but what happend here the mdf dust powder is also suckt up in the filter is that normal, ore do you have a tip for me ?
can you explain me, why the in tube have to be placed in that position? They can't be placed under? over the container...
How well does this separate fine particles?
Really impressive and beautiful acrylic work!
Are there any troubles like melting or something?
Thanks! I fpund that if you don't cut fast enough with the jigsaw the acrylic is welded back together again.
Woah! Your drill press can go in reverse?
pretty cool eh?
+FastEasySmartTOOL Optimum in general makes quite decent machines, got one myself and a friend got one of their lower end milling machines ;)

If it's a "simple" one with a 3-phase induction motor (this includes the ones that run on single phase with a capacitor, if you don't have a 3-phase outlet) and no control electronics it's very easy to add that function to any drill press if it doesn't come with it already. You just have to switch 2 of the 3 motor wires around.
Check first that your chuck is not screwed on, or you might get an unpleasant surprise! Most chucks are held into the quill by a No. 2 Morse taper or similar, but some are actually screwed onto the Morse taper spigot, without a locking grub-screw.
You provided a link for everything but the acrylic pipe/tube. Can you provide that link please?
that's really cool. How did you figure out where to cut the hole in the baffle connector pipe
Thanks! I don't know. It just kind of has to be there.
Nice one Cosmas. Where did you get the 60L drum from? Love Your vids so keep them coming. Happy new year dude.

What is that "goop" that you put around the plastic wrap to make your hose "adapter"? Looked like it works really well for that sort of thing.
polyurethane construction adhesive.
Great video and workmanship. My only question is, I have a great dust collector that I want to make what you have here, it's not the same brand but small and powerful. The question is where did you get the bottom can with the lid that locks on like that? I really like that and want to make one! I made a similar 2 stage dust collector but it's way too big for my small shop. This one looks perfect.
You can get them on ebay.
I think you should patent that
Gosto de seu trabalho !mas mostra as maquinas que te ajuda !
Is this glue at 7:50 polyurethane glue? I hear at a lot of videos about this construction type adhesive that you use, but it seems impossible to find it at my country, at least the stores here doesn't know what I am asking about..
Do you have any brand name, model or link, to find this on internet?
Yes that is polyurethane construction adhesive.
I use Debratec PU Montagekleber which is not better or worse than any other I tried so far.
