this was made from pieces of mdf cut to wedge shapes then glued then top and bottom put on then i fiber glassed it round the out side as i was unsure if it would take the pressure, was concerned it would not work but works fine hardly any dust in the bag .

Looks good , I am looking at a similar project soon . Could I be cheeky enough to ask if anyone has any reference or knows of a magic formula to size /height /width ratios to make the cyclone most effective ! I know it must vary depending on the machine ,hp/lp but there must be some sort of guide .

Kind regards Sam

Sam, before making one check this out. I put up a thread asking about purchasing them and someone kindly put this link on. It's the way to go! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOKUBxkHtwE
