I'm looking for a cyclone to add to my shop.
I have an old 2 HP dust collector (by Delta), but it is really a Cincinnati Fan model SPB-12 blower on a 55 gallon drum. It has a 12-3/8" straight blade impeller, and is rated for: 1340 CFM at 1" SP, 1060 CFM at 4", 710 CFM at 8" SP, and 400 CFM at 10" SP.
I'd like an "add on" cyclone to use with the this old motor/impeller combo that I already have. My workshop is the "2 car garage" type of hobbyist shop. One tool operation at a time. I don't have ducting designed out to the tools yet.
My question is basically which cyclone should I use, the 14" or 18" model?
Thanks for any help.
