Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed 👍

Excellent work but I was wondering the same. How will you empty the collected dust.

Hi, Yes will definitely be posting more content in the future!

Glad you enjoyed, thank you👍

@@allkraftdesign6120 that's a level up for sure

It's a leister hot air welding torch

Hi nigel, thanks for the message👍 no I don't think it would be to difficult for a DIY'R all pieces can be cut with a jigsaw and some practice with a heat gun for the welding, if you need any advice on anything just give me a message and I'll be glad to help 👍

​@@allkraftdesign6120 Is the material PVC or acrylic? For welding part, is the stick has to be the same material as the cyclone box? What degree of the temperature for the welding? Thank you very much!

Hi, Yes material is PVC. The welding stick is also PVC. All materials are the same, temperature for welding= 250°C - 280°C. If you have leister welding torch position dial between 4-5. Thanks for the message👍.. hope that's helpful

@@allkraftdesign6120 Can I ask you please, what is the angle of the cone (to vertical) ?

@@-First-Last Hi 👋 its been a while since I made the dust cyclone, il measure it up and send information over to you later, thanks

Hi, Yes that sounds like a great idea! I was going to put an emptying hatch on it but hadn't got around to it yet, that could be the next video🙂. the PVC was from a plastic sheet supplier, if you want some names and numbers let me know and il pass some on to you. If I was ever to make another cyclone it would be out of polypropylene, its less brittle and you could cold roll the cone, the only downside is you can't get transparent polypropylene. Thank you for the message 👍

@@allkraftdesign6120 I think the best option for cone is polycarbonate, 2-3mm thick will be enough. It's toughest of all plastics and also transparent

Thanks 👍 hope you enjoyed

Take a look at Lowes. They cut too but $$$$ ... I'm looking at Mr Amazon..... I'm looking to make a couple like these but very small for scrollsaws. Noise and mobility are the two keys. I like the videos with the snap lide tupperware rcvg bins. CLEAN.

Hi 👋 the clear plastic is PVC and the grey filler/ welding rod is also PVC, Its called PVC 3 core welding rod, a 3mm diameter filler rod is also available, hope that's helpful 👍

pretty sure this is just for show - you can't really use it :D

Hi 👋 its definitely not for show, I'm still using it and it works brill, builts can look nice and also do the job they was made for! It's a minor adjustment to fit an emptying hatch to it. Thanks for your comment 👍

Hi, thanks for the comment👍 the welding machine is a leister triac ST hot gas welder

Hi that's a Good question 👍 was meaning to fit a hinged door of some kind to the side of the collection box, it's a simple enough job but just never got round to it, hope you enjoyed anyway!

Than this device has no purpose and was a waste of time and matterials.

Hi 👋 I've been separating the cyclone from the catch box to empty but in hindsight I should have fitted a hinged door of some description 👍

I used an orange traffic cone and a clear plastic dinner plate. Lots of silicone on the pvc pipe used to connect to the cone. It worked very well. I'm not sure a square bin is as good as a circular one.

@@eddiegallacher2652 traffic cone, good idea :) there was me over-engineering a way to make a cone when you just use an already existing cone! the simplest ideas are the best ones

Hi 👋 thank you for the comment! I didnt just make it look tricky it actually was tricky, but only because I didn't have the appropriate tools for the job.. but definitely wouldn't want to put people off with my poor effort! Heat forming PVC is super easy if you have the correct gas blow torch to get the heat into the plastic, it becomes very pliable and usually stays that way long enough to do the work that needs to be done. Apologies for my very poor effort. Thanks again for the comment!

Lol.. I know, many people have commented on that, wish I could take it back😄 but you can see from the plastic fabrication process that it would be very easy to retro fit some kind of hinged door! Thanks for your comment 👍

Thanks👍 I've been emptying it by separating the cyclone from the catch box which isn't a huge hardship but defo could be a little easier.

Hi , apologies for the lack of information! The cone sizes are 170mm top 70mm bottom 300mm Height Both pipes were 60mm diameter The weld rod is 3 core PVC which is triangular in shape, you can also get a 3mm diameter rod and both can be transparent to suit the material if desired. The welding gun I use is just a hot air gun with a nozzle on the end, not sure about a soldering iron it might work I've never tried that method but the end result would probably look hideous. The sheet is thick but pvc is sometimes brittle, If thinner material was to be used on the catch box at the bottom would require lots of stiffening to bulk it up with the negative pressure inside, but you could definitely use thinner material for the cone if you wanted, you could also use a different material like polypropylene or Polyethylene they are both less brittle & more malleable but they're not available transparent. Hope that's helpful.
