Please delete the whole topic / thread. I'll keep my ideas to myself since they are aren't worth anything to you or your members. And goodbye to you too Gerald.

I built exactly what I wanted, a small footprint and very affordable 2 stage DC that works very well. I do not need or want a multi inlet system in my small one man shop, nor do I need a overpriced plastic Dust Deputy. As far as me going into build details, I seriously doubt that it's worth my time.

Miter saw gets my vote almost always.

I'll stick with my much more simple, compact, streamline, and efficient setup. Thanks anyway.

The 5 gal separator I use a vac hose hooked to a shop vac.

As with Gene, I usually shop online, check prices and read the customer reviews. Then when I find what I like I search for it locally. I almost always buy local.

I've got to say that I'm really disappointed in the lack of numbers of members participating in this projects. Call me stupid, but I put a lot off time into it and am very proud of what I've done, which in my opinion was to simply produce a very affordable 2 stage Dust Collector. But the lack of responses here is very discouraging.

I made several 5 gal separators for the small machines that I use a shop vac with.

Funny how my post / opinion just happened to disappear. I'm sure that I got punished too

MDF and or fiberboard do have it's places. I can think of an example where one of them has to be used.

Paddle switch added also, and relocated to under to the Unifence rail.

The splitter and blade guard I got with my saw is still in the packaging, never been opened or installed in over 20 years.
