As part of my "day job" at a global chemical company, I am a member of our "Operational Excellence Leadership Team", where safety is a very big topic of discussion at every meeting.
My cyclone has been installed for a little while now, but I've only used it a couple of times, as I'm still finishing up the piping runs.
Still, every time I turn it on I cringe, because I'm thinking of that massive metal impeller spinning at high speed, and kept in place only by a thin piece of clear plastic and a couple pieces of beaver puke should it decide to drop off the motor shaft! I imagine it could do some serious damage to me and the shop in that event...
Has anyone put a safety cage or barrier around your cyclone impeller, and if so, can you share pictures?
