Not sure how long it will last, but ClearVue is selling their Mini Cyclone (for shopvacs) for $80 (reg $120) + $15 S&H. I have had a metal or plastic one on my "to build" list for years now, but I can't hardly build one for this price. I pulled the trigger.

I can vouch for the fact that the mini CV06 works like a charm -- I mounted mine on the top of a used drywall compound bucket and it catches most of the output from my mitersaw and everything from my ROS's. I was lucky enough to get one at that same $80 price last fall when we had Ed Morgano and his crew speak at our WNCWA meeting (and deliver two CV 1800's at the same time). I think Ed sold 5-6 mini's that day.

I'm sure the website will be back up soon -- I follow their forum and was on last night.

Dang it - this place is hazardous to my fiscal health! Now that I have ordered it someone please enlighten me on how to hook it up to a 5-gal bucket? I imagine it cannot be all that hard. It looks as if it is sized to fit inside and on top of the lid - is that about right? Maybe some screws with a tad of caulk underneath for a good seal? TIA ... and TTFN

Mine is mounted on a used Drywall Compound bucket pulled out of the dumpster at a new home site (with permission). Banged the bucket to get rid of the dry mud. Then I drilled a hole in the center of the lid with a 2" hole saw. Next I put some self-adhesive foam weatherstripping in a circle about 3-1/2" in diamter around the hole. I drilled four holes for some 5/16" x 1-1/4" bolts through each quadrant of the cyclone base outside the weatherstripping and through the top. Just add a flat washer and tighten the nuts on the inside. I didn't modify the lid gasket or the original lid tabs -- it holds just fine, but still comes off easily. 15 minute job.
