Woodcraft Cyclone Lid

[Uncle Hook]

Woodcraft has this cyclone lid on sale for $24 instead of the usual $30.

Does anyone have experience with this lid? The woodcraft unit is nice in that it has hose flanges built in. But I don't like the fact that the flanges point vertically. I worry about the dust hose getting pinched as it makes a 180 degree bend coming up from the floor.

In comparision, the Woodstock Interntional design has the hose connections horzontially oriented. The downside is that it is does not have hose connection flanges.

I would welcome opinions and other suggestions.

That lid is for a 5 gallon bucket. I thought you could get the larger trash can size for about $30 several places. Rockler ?

Woodcraft Cyclone Lids

I made my own - I used a rubber maid 30 gallon ruber trash can and fabricated the piping using sechdule 40 plastic piping. Total cost was around $15.00. Works like a champ. I have it between the wood working tool (planer, saw, etc.) and my Shop Vac. Works and it was cheap.

Can you post a couple picture of the lid with the piping.
Thanks,

I've got one with 5" flanges that I'll give away if somebody wants to come to Lompoc CA (one hour west of Santa Barbara) and pick it up. Since I went with a cyclone I don't need it any more. I used it with the famous HF DC and it worked great.
