How to Make ● Simple Cyclone Dust Collector

This is one of the easiest dust collectors to make and one that keeps the sawdust out of your shop vacuum cleaner. Super cheap to make and saves you money. Parts are easy to find. Prevents your filter from clogging prematurely in your shop vac. Separates the dust and debris with simple cyclone action. No fancy baffles. Plain, simple and practical.  I made another version for WATER using just one pail !   .....  

NOTE: Some have said static could be an issue. When I tested this, it was on concrete and static was not an issue for me. If you are building yours on a wood stand, you may want to add a ground wire.

PARTS and TOOLS to make: 

NOTE......CANADA uses black ABS pipe and the US uses white PVC pipe . Both will work.
