Sop-Vac filter on steroids.

clear bucket
clear bucket
We had purchased some of these a couple years back and work well with the mini's......depending on your vacuum it will collapse if hose is closed. A ring on the outside would prevent it if it proves necessary. You may have to try and get an order up as they may require you to purchase more than one. It's a thought anyway.
Matt
Another neat idea that a couple of guys did that gives you a little time is to add a section of clear pipe between mini and bucket. Galleries can be seen here and here. I am sure you already looked at those but it's another way of protecting those nice filters you added to your shopvac.

Matt,
If I'm not mistaken, you also used one of those translucent buckets for your own Mini-Monster: http://www.gallery2.clearvuecyclones.com/v/Mini+CV06/album08/Shop_Pictures_006.jpg.html
How'd you get it to do the "here" links? I've just been copying the address from the browser window and pasting it in.

DWD,
The format for Matt's trick is simple, once you know it. I'm substituting { and } for [ and ] so the code doesn't get changed: {url=http://www.gallery2.clearvuecyclones.com/v/Mini+CV06/album08/Shop_Pictures_006.jpg.html}here{/url}. Any text after the first closed bracket get shown as the link; be sure to finish with the {/url} part. Again, use square brackets.
So, with the square brackets, the above line of code turns into: here
Hope this helps...

Thanks for asking, shoulder is coming along very well. But I still can't get back into my shop as my wife just had major surgery a week ago (Neck C3/C4 vertebrae laminectomy) and I'm staying pretty close to her until she's back on her feet.Thanks, Rob, I'll have to try it at the next opportunity.
BTW, how's your shoulder?

Where can one get that 2 1/4 hose you have plugged into the mini ?

Doug,
Matt can confirm, but it looks in his photo to be the standard Shop Vac branded stuff, or similar, you can get at the Big Box stores, Lowe's, HD, maybe even Wal-Mart. Speaking for myself, and looking at the photo of my Mini in action, here, the hose from the planer to the Mini's input was a 10' Shop Vac brand from Lowe's. The right angle pieces came from Shopsmith with some of their vac adapters (don't know if you can get one from them by itself, and haven't seen them elsewhere). The older looking hose was I think the original that came with the old Craftsman vac, and has since been replaced as after this photo was taken I found several holes along its length, worn out. I replaced it with the hose that came with the Fein Turbo III.
