Featured Products
For 2-3 hp collectors using 4 Inch Ducts
A compact sawdust cyclone — Optimized for minimal flow restriction.
The Axial Cyclone — Mark 1 is a cyclone separator, designed specifically for the hobbyist woodworker who’s workshop has limited space. Ultra-compact footprint and a legendary pressure-drop rating to maximize the effective CFM of your collector.
Tangential cyclones work well but are highly restrictive, which forces shop owners to upgrade to larger collectors to get adequate air quality. When all you have is a 2-3 Hp collector, the only option is to maximize the available CFM by minimizing drag in your ducting and cyclone setup.
By minimizing abrupt changes in airflow direction, the Axial Cyclone helps your dust collection system move more air and maintain stronger suction at the cutting tool. With a 0.86” H2O pressure drop at 90% separation efficiency — Don’t sacrifice airflow to get high-efficiency.
Built for the Modern Woodshop
Low-Restriction — Less drag, more suction.
Two-stage separation — Handles everything from large wood chips and shavings to fine woodworking dust.
Compact inline design — Fits where a traditional vertical cyclone simply won't, making better use of limited shop space.
Durable construction — The cyclone housing made from glass-filled ABS for impact strength.
Technical Specs:
Pressure Drop = 0.86” H2O (@1000 CFM)
Separation Efficiency = 90% (@1000 CFM)
Recommended collector sizes = 800 - 1200 CFM
Recommended duct size = 4IN
Contents:
3D printed components (Inlet Port, Outlet Port, 2 Impellers, 2 Mounting Rings)
4IN clear PVC tubes (set of 2)
18-8 Stainless Steel hardware
*** Does not include a disposal bin ***
Current lead time is 1-2 weeks.
Completes the Axial Cyclone system. Designed around the cyclone being mounted on a shelf or table top and the Twist-Top lids being bolted directly beneath it — This provides the most secure and easy to access configuration.
Converts standard 5Gal buckets into twist off disposal bins for the Axial Cyclone
Features:
Installed with brass #10-24 inserts for easy and sturdy mounting.
Easy access to the separator content so you can get back to cutting wood.
Perfect bolt alignment with Axial Cyclone mounting feet
Does not include 5 gallon buckets
REV 03 is out of date and should be used for experimental purposes. Expect overall poor performance as compared to the current production (physical) version.
Free to download 3D printer files for the Mk.1 Axial Cyclone. Includes all .STL files for the cyclone and twist top kit. User is responsible for 3D printer slicing, material tuning, hardware procurement, and assembly.
Assembly drawings and a full Bill of Materials included.
Additional hardware NOT included:
#8-32 Bolts (x8)
#8-32 Threaded standoffs (x8)
#10-24 Heat Set Inserts (x16)
4” clear PVC ducts (9” sections x2)
Leaktite twisting bucket tops (x2)
Revision Notes:
Rev 03 features improved manufacturability over previous revisions and beta tested new geometry for the “phase 1” planar separator.
Improved airflow over previous revisions.
Easy to 3D print without any supports.
However, Rev 03 does not perform well under large volumes of dust. Expect significantly lower separation efficiency
Current production improves on all of the above performance metrics.
