The weird looking bucket under the tapered cyclone is actually 2 buckets sitting exactly as a stack of them would sit an any hardware etc store. The bottom one is bolted to the side of the vac, and the catch bucket set in it. > > http://www.lowes.com/pd_49940-20097-6004511_0__?productId=3160385 > Yup, stout little vacuum for about a $20. > I am also assuming that you are wanting to integrate the vacume into > the seperator, otherwise I do not see why having two seperate buckets > and the piping between them is a problem.

The bucket-max carries a std paper shop-vac filter on the bottom of it, so it needs its own bucket for filter clearance, such as it is, its not a heck of a lot. Because a direct stack would make it too high to fit under the mills table, I'll attach the holder bucket to the wall so its bottom is about 15" above the mill's table. A std hose that comes with the bucket max is only 7' long and it can pass to the rear of the mills table to reach the top of my shortened, home-made separator. It may need an extension at the top to aim it past the catch bucket going down to the bucket max. So I'd better get it all & save a trip back to get it when I find its too short. Then one more flex hose to reach the mill & a bracket on the left side of the head to hold the crevice wand about an inch above the tools tip. That should get most of it although I'll have to clean up the back of the jig with an air hose before putting the gauge back down for the next run. Silly Q, where is the code that shows the mist and flood check boxes on the left panel of axis?. I can't find it anyplace in the configs/machine directory. I put in some hal code to trigger both, re-using mist and flood for this and that appears to work at the 2nd BoB's output. But I'd like to re-label the check boxes if I can. I also need to get a doorbell button and cobble up an estop, axis doesn't stop from pounding on the esc key if it doesn't have focus. :( Thanks EBo.
