DIY Dust Cyclone - backwards WIP

[jlawrence]

Paul, I wasn't thinking of using the 'hoover' as a chip collector, but rather having a 100mm AND a 'hoover' connection to power the box. Thus allowing a single dust (chip) collection point for both systems.
So, I'd still have a 100mm extractor powering the 100mm kit and a hoover for the 'hoover' kit.

OK.

I got the impression you were just using a single hoover, as Mike said you will need to have four shut off valves, the two on the 100mm side will need to seal really well.

 

[jlawrence]

indeed - effectively 4 blast gates.

Thinking about it you could make "one" gate to operate the two inlets and the two outlets at once.
