Cyclone Dust Collector Woodworking Plan

In designing and outfitting WOOD Magazine's Idea Shop 3 basement shop with a cyclone dust collector, we had several objectives in mind. We wanted a space-efficient unit with minimal noise, dust-free construction, and convenience of use. To meet those objectives we designed a unit using a 760 CFM, 1-1/2 horsepower, 62-82 decibel dust collector. This size blower is more than adequate for a small shop. We built the entire wood framework from one 4x8 sheet of of 3/4" birch plywood.
