Cyclone

Here's the place to talk about all your table saws, bandsaws, routers and dust extractors. In fact anything that makes noise and uses electrickery.

The one I used was an air freight barrel used for transporting lithium batteries, I was given a few some years ago as they were surplus to requirements once the batteries arrived.
I have seen similar ones being sold on Gum tree, that might be worth a search

I've been meaning to post a picture of the set up I finally did following on from the great advice I got here.

It sure does. The suction is incredible and virtually nothing getting to the filters. First time I switched on I had both motors running on the extractor and both blast gates closed, thought the thing was going to take off :-) Now only need to use one motor on the extractor and always ensure one blast gate is open.

Roger and Doug

Nearly right with the shiny thing. It's the latest model a Titan 315G, the cast version with the invertor hidden out of the way. My dream lathe :D
