Price of cyclones have gone down

[ColeyS1]

The cyclone kit I bought from here finally broke ( the bottom of the cone severed from the plastic ring) it lasted a while and seemed to improve the suction so I tried looking for a replacement. I find half the battle with ebay is finding the correct words to search with. After numerous variations searching ' dust cyclone' did the trick. (I also filtered by best match) theres literally loads on there in the u.k, injection moulded and prices vary from £32 delivered to £49 delivered for a deluxe version. There are 3 or 4 different brands and sellers so you're more than likely to find one that suits your budget/requirements.
I've fiberglassed up the 'kit one' so it will live on, just not used everyday like its replacement

Hopefully might be of interest to someone looking for a cyclone

Don't forget that Cyclone Central has some pretty good offers.

Hi Coley
They've been on there a while. And they've gone down in price since I bought one

Do you need a cyclone with 100mm inlet, or if you have 100mm hose can you just reduce it down onto the cyclone?

I did come across your post Mark after I found the ebay one. Your setup looks great ! I guess places probably realised the interest in them then flooded the market making it cheaper and cheaper.

Here's a pic of my bandaged up one

It'll come for when I one day get the cnc working :x
the one I use at the moment is just to go from my makita hoover that extracts belt and orbital sander. Cant really fault it, it lasted....possibly 2 years of daily use !

Actually I found out that the 'cyclone' doesn't need to be conical in shape, I made one last year from an old dyson which is a tube shaped and of equal measurements from top to bottom. The bottom of it is glue welded to a square piece of perspex (obviously with a hole of equal size to the tube ) which in turn is held onto the top of the box collector with screws. The lid of the wooden box is held onto the box itself with 4 case clips, just undo the clips, remove the lid, then empty the box. The 'cyclone' is hooked up to a cylinder dyson vacuum and works great.
