I've been using a portable collector for the last few months. It's 1HP rated at 660 CFM with 4" inlet/outlet. I have it hooked up in line between a trashcan separator and a 5 micron Dust Right filter bag from Rocklers. I'm on a budget and doing what I can, but way too much dust gets through the trashcan separator into the filter bag and I need to upgrade.

I've been looking at the CV06 MINI to trap more dust. Can I use my current collector motor to power the MINI with some 4" to 2 1/2" adapters? Can the MINI support the CFM? Will the change in ducting size at the separator cause me issues? Would it be better to get a new Shopvac?
I'd like to bolt my current motor on the wall, with the MINI mounted on a plywood lid fitted over a 25 gallon steel drum, and discharge the air through the 5 micron bag filter. I'd add a diverter to dump the waste air outside when it's warm enough to bring in make up air; if that's legal. I'm still researching if I can vent from the dust collector outside or not. I'm in a pretty rural area.
I have an existing 30 gallon galvanized trash can, but i've read the cyclones can implode them. I started looking for a 25-30 gallon steel drum as an upgrade.
Anyone have some constructive advice?
