    Comments about Mini Dust Collection Separator :

    I have a Fein vacuum which I bought for its low noise. It is 2-1/4" diameter, so Duct Tape is a must for connections. The clear flexible hose I ordered is difficult to install, but eventually goes on and holds tight. The main problem is that the 9ft clear hose accordions to 3ft under suction from small nozzles and resists stretching. Use another type if that is a problem.

    Comments about Mini Dust Collection Separator :

    I read the reviews about the inlet and outlet ports being the same size as a standard shopvac hose. I have other tools that have the same problem. My solution is to go to the local home improvement store plumbing department to purchase 2" no hub couplers. The rubber fits tightly around both the inlet and the hose then the included clamps hold the two pieces together securely with no air leaks. I was a little concerned that the gasket material would leak air, but when I placed it on the bucket and turned on the vacuum the lid seated and I could not pull it off until the vacuum was turned off. For an inexpensive cyclone attachment to a standard shopvac this works great.

    Comments about Mini Dust Collection Separator :

    Standard shop vac hoses do not attach, as they are the same size as the inlets. No instructions to give any idea for a coupler, and standard couplers do not work. So where do I go from here, I don't want to resort to duct tape.

    Comments about Mini Dust Collection Separator :

    Overall, very good product. It does reduce the vacuum's power, but with shorter hoses it is minor. Shorter hoses make it less of a hassle to set up, use, and move. I use it for portable dust collection on a table saw, reducing broom time. Full size version works great with dust collection system, but this is good with a shop vac.
