The small dust collector is smaller than a big dust collector, and is quieter and uses less power than a shopvac. Using a cyclone made of transluscent buckets for collection makes it easy to see when it gets full. Handles fine chips and planer shavings.
Included with the plans:
Detailed drawings of every part of the dust collector
Dimensioned 3D views and assembly drawings
More detailed photographs of the finished unit
Full-scale 1:1 drawings of the critical parts so you can just paste them onto the wood instead of making measurements.
Detailed instructions on how to build it, with over 130 photos
Hardware list
A SketchUp model which allows you to view them from any angle, disassemble it, or regenerate each of the views in the plans by clicking on the 'scene' tabs in SketchUp.
