Better Homes and Gardens Wood magazine has plans to build a cyclone. I built it, and it works much better than any of the single stage dust collectors on the market. I also vent it out side, so there is no filter bag to worry about, which only reduces the CFM anyway. It also doubles as the suction for a spray booth. I may still have the plans around if anyone is interested. If you do decide to get one of the single stage collectors, don't be fooled by high CFM claims. They are based on calculations, not real measurements.
