Clear cyclone bin thank you

[Bill Carey]

About a month ago (maybe 2 weeks, who knows during a quarantine?) I was reading threads about dust bin sensors since I just got a cyclone with a fiber drum, and wanted to be able to monitor it. And in one of the theads someone had posted a pic of a clear plastic garbage drum and when I saw it, I smacked my forehead and thought - duh. Best 22 bucks I've ever spent. Heavy duty, no side collapse at all. So whoever that was, thanks for posting.

I use clear 30 gallon drums at work, dust collector does not collapse them but a vac on a small cyclone will crumple them up if restricted. The barrels are one time use for chemicals, so I fill them up and throw away(properly cleaned out before using for sawdust) when full. Just bolt the cyclone on top and go with it.
