The Cyclone Dust Collection Separator Lid turns a shop vacuum
and 5 gallon bucket (with a maximum diameter of 11-3/4") into a
2-stage cyclone separator. The Cyclone Dust Collection System
causes a vortex action inside the bucket to collect debris before it
enters the vacuum, this helps prevent the loss of suction power.
NOTE: The 5 gallon bucket is sold separately. For the best fit,
purchase the type of 5 gallon bucket commonly found at most big
box stores.
