hi it's matt again in the shed today we're going to talk about that amazingly interesting subject
that we all love dust extraction and particularly today the cyclone and actually how it works
stay tuned because later on i've got a really exciting piece of video to show you from the
inside of the cyclone whilst it is working that's where you can see how all the dust particles
and chips fall down into the center so here's the system that i've put together for my shed
we've got a lumberjack bde 1200 on top i'll put the links to all these pieces in the description
as normal and this is actually mounted straight on top of announcements to craft acc one h
dust separator these things are the same as the small dust cycles that you see it's just a bit
bigger you need to buy the right size cyclone for the power of the vacuum otherwise you end up with
problems where the vacuum will literally suck the particles out of the bucket underneath i've
got another video on that which goes into it in a little bit more detail let's have a closer look at
the inside of this as you can see all i've done is i've cut a 100 millimeter hole in the bottom
of the normal vacuum collection bin so i can mount it straight onto the top of the cyclone
without having to use the port on the side with a big hose on it i had a theory that
by not using the port on the side with the hose on it it would give me a bit of better suction
because it's just going to be pulling it straight up the middle and i'm pretty sure that's the case
let's have a look at the inside of the cyclone head as you can see there's the inlet on the side
which is angled so the flow bringing the waste comes in here and it naturally spins around the
center here's the outlet which feeds up into the vacuum base which hopefully none of the
large particles or hopefully none of the small particles are going to end up in there either
okay let's go suck some dust and you can see exactly what's happening in here
my
so
as you can see from the interior of the cyclone the particles of bits of dust
get thrown towards the edge which slows them down which means they fall into the bucket underneath
it's fascinating to see it and it's a little hypnotic i know well that's about it for now
