Cyclone/Blower/Filter Assembly
I was fortunate not to have to pay for pop rivets, epoxy, or the foam
that makes the seal at the top of the blower, the left end of the filter
housing, and between the plastic viewer and the front of the filter
housing.

Ductwork
Home Depot and Menards:
I spent a total of $221 at these two home centers. This got me all my
5” and 6” snap-lock pipe, adjustable elbows in the 5”
and 6” size, hose clamps, several boots and take-offs that functioned
as hoods, most of my reducers, and my tube of duct sealant.
Kencraft:
This was the cheapest supplier I found for dust collection accessories.
Remember, I only purchased items that I had to from these types of suppliers
since the prices are quite high. I bought 12 6”x6”x6”
wyes, a few reducing wyes, a couple 3”x2” reducers which
aren’t available at home centers, three 3” blast gates,
and two 5” blast gates. Unfortunately, this supplier set me back
$425, including shipping.
Oneida:
This is the pinnacle of cyclone dust collection and accessories, as
well as prices. I stayed as far away as possible from them! They do
offer free shipping for orders over $50, though. So, from them I bought
from them only items I couldn’t get from Kencraft. This included
two reducing wyes which I couldn’t find at Kencraft (6”x6”x3”,
and 6”x5”x3”), my 35 gallon drum (its cost is included
in the cyclone cost), their 3”x2 ½” reducer to connect
to the shop vac hose over the center bench in the shop, 10’ of
their 3” flex for the radial arm saw and sanding center hook-ups,
10’ of their 5” flex for the drill press and surface planer,
and 5’ of their 6” flex, half of which was used for the
cyclone (and its cost is reflected there), and half of which was used
to run to the router table (its cost is reflected here). As it applies
to the ducting cost, I spent $170 at Oneida.

Electrical Components
As I indicated, I was able to get the 3- and 4-way switches for free,
as well as the 10/3 flexible conduit. This probably saved me nearly
$130.
| $12 | | DPST relay with 24VAC input |
| $12 | | 120VAC to 24VAC transformer |
| $10 | | 18/3 thermostat wire that runs from switch to switch in the low voltage circuit |
