A friend gave me a 55 g. fiber drum but I need a lid and locking ring for it. Plan to use as a dust bin for a cyclone dust collection system.
I've spent much time over the last couple of days trying to find an online site that sells lids/locking rings without having to buy a new drum to get them. Actually the problem with buying a new drum is not so much the item cost as it is the $60+ shippng costs they tack on top of it!
I've considered making my own but worry about making it airtight and fussing around with all that. I am also aware of the Oneida Dust bin kits but I don't want to jury rig it to fit my 6" pipe size (smallest they show is 7"..yeah, I know... no big deal but thought I'd ask here before going that way).
Does anyone know of a place where I can go and pickup a lid and locking ring? Or even a new drum (fiber or steel)?
Thanks
