Some years ago I got an impeller (Jet part 431006) to build a cyclone dust collector. Unfortunately I never got round to actually doing the work. I am downsizing and need to move this on. It is a substantial piece of equipment and balanced and designed for use with a 3hp motor in the commercial product. The jet collector it was designed for was the DC1900C, I believe, but was also used in Powermatic machines. Using the Jet part number will get you more details.
The plans I intended to follow were by Bill Pentz and are still online (Dust Collection Research - Cyclone Plans) . He suggests that a 14" an is the minimum size you really need to shift dust and that 5hp is a better size of motor to run this.
I can't remember how much the impeller cost me but it wasn't particularly cheap. Asking £60 plus postage via Hermes. Apologies for the poor pic. Impeller is unused but a bit dusty.
