Cyclone filter

Hello again Patrick,
As I recall further, I do remember the crankcase vent that was rather odious and the pipe was never clean.

Thanks for the build pics Pepe. You are quite the craftsman and you really think things thru.

Very nice work. I hope Brian is looking.
Of course, after the math, the cone is the sticker for a cyclone, but you show just how to do it right.

Don and John, Thanks for the compliments. Being successfully self employed most of one’s life demands discipline and attention to detail. I’m sure after 40 yrs, you’re there too. There are a lot of new members out there who could use some basic “how to” information. That’s one reason my posts get a little lengthy sometimes. I enjoy watching other’s posts for the details of the build. Don’t let me toot too loudly, I’ve done my share of backing up, too lol.

Ive tried building with out the cone. Yes they do work with a straight design. However, a cone is far better in my experience. The best one we build is the large one for the larger machines.

Cone dimensions are 6 diameter larger opening, X 2 3/8 bottom opening with a cone length of 8". The body is also 8" length with a 3" exhaust. Intake is 1.5" x 3 tall and this rectangular tube butts up very close to the exhaust tube. Exhaust lower opening is positioned 1" below the perpendicular intake tube opening.
