I have two cyclones in the 'shop now, a little'n and a big Onedia hooked up the the Camvac.

The suckage on the smaller one is provided by an NVD750 and it will extract your Wisdom teeth if you get close enough
Both are fitted with a PRV which in my experience is essential, especially if the bins are plastic. Without one fitted, a blockage will instantly cause the drum to collapse with undesirable results
...this happened a couple of times on the Onedia.
It doesn't matter if rubbish gets drawn into the dx machine as fine dust gets drawn in as a matter of course. I clean the big cloth filter on the Camvac once a week, especially if I'm been doing some stuff on the drum sander. The crucial thing to do when installing a cyclone is to ensure that everything below it completely air tight; the PRV's are made from a tin lid, an 8mm rare earth magnet and a 4mm bolt with a couple of nuts - Rob
