My Shop Vac Cyclone combo changed my life!

I need good some suggestions on how to make it more stable to prevent it flipping over because of the added hight. How would you fix it?

[@Isarwinklermartl]

Hi, first of all: I just came to this video and think, it is a great approach! Thanks a lot. To reduce the danger of flipping, you might increase the weight of the bottom parts. A thick metal ring around the collection bucket, some stone between the four rolls below the collection bucket... This of course will make it heavier, however, this machine is primarily not meant to be carried, right? Thanks again and best regards from Bavaria 🙂

Easy, use it for sanding concrete and it will naturally get much heavier on the bottom :)

[@kurtbilinski1723]

How about adding weight to the base, like maybe a 1cm plate under the bottom? Another option - and a lot more work and expense - would be to make a new version that uses a low-profile separator. That would allow collapsing down the assembly by quite a bit and helping with the balance issue. That said, if you're happy with it as-is, I vote for the plate weight solution.

For the first time in my life, someone made something more complicated than i did. Yours definitely looks better

I really like the small footprint.

[@ynot3575]

To prevent damage when you flip it over by accident, you could make a wooden ring that sits around the four legs in the middle. So it will flip on the ring and wont break the engine part

Thanks for the advice!

It looks like it is full of sawdust, but you said you were originally inspired to make it after sucking up concrete dust. How well does your design work on finer dusts like concrete, plaster etc?

[@DesireToInspire1]

It work very very well. Only a weak ago i had to cut up my concrete floor and it just sucked it up like a champ :)

[@nateb4543]

Ive got a similar setup, and the fine stuff still gets through and eventually fill up your filter. The difference between my 1st and second versions was easy access to both chambers. It's still worth it 3X. Just dont expect the cyclone to get everything

Do anyone know the cost of materials for this build?

[@andersbystrom3421]

Kanonvideo! En fråga angående dammsugaren.. Har du upplevt att du fått stötar (statisk elektricitet) av det rostfria röret när du använder dammsugaren?

[@DesireToInspire1]

Oh ja! Riktigt otrevliga sådana, så pass att hjärtat hoppar till, de smäller till högt! Dammsuger jag mycket blir jag nästan rätt för att ta i röret för att jag vet vad som kommer hända.

[@andersbystrom3421]

@@DesireToInspire1 Jag funderar, kan det hjälpa att jorda röret på något sätt? Tänker kabel till element eller så. Som du skriver, det blir obehagligt efter ett långt användande.

[@DesireToInspire1]

@@andersbystrom3421 Jag har testat det och satt kabeln i jorden på maskinens uttag, det gjorde ingen skillnad, kanske jag inte gjorde de nog bra...

Vart köper du så tjock plywood i Sverige? 😊

[@DesireToInspire1]

De var 5 år sedan jag köpte det och jag vet att jag inte hade köpt en hel skiva. Jag tror det var ifrån snickeriet på Beijer bygg, en så kallat spill bit, kan rent av ha fått den gratis :) Var tvungen å mäta den nu av nyfikenhet, 20mm !!
