Yep, that ClearVue showed up yesterday, and I hooked it up as shown in the photo in no time today. Works like a champ -- Hoses fit directly (but I did order a longer D50 just for the occasion) and the paint bucket does not collapse when you deadhead the nozzle. Be a little nicer if those paint buck lids came on and off easier, but this was quick and easy. Best of all, it works great!
Now for one of those tool organizers that fits on the inside a Systainer lid...
I especially liked how quickly this arrangement went together. As it happened, my last cuts before the cyclone arrived left sawdust that indicated that the bag needed changing, so before I started up this contraption, I installed a new bag -- nice timing.
I am using a new longer D50 from CT to ClearVue as I figured the one that came with the Boom Arm was likely a little too short (and, as configured, that is correct.) This longer hose may account for that meager 5 gallon paint bucket holding its own, even when the hose was deadheaded. Once I know how I'll want it, I'll cut down the D50 for a more appropriate fit -- hope I'm not then left in a fit looking for a better bucket, or adding back some of that removed hose... Anyway, so far, so good -- well, actually it is great! Oh, and some of that copper tape to finish up the AS system will be a future addition too.
And that tool holder for inside the lid is heading up on my wish list. A second (maybe for different items) would be nice on the lid of the Sys-1 that I now use (thank's to Ned for pointing this out to me) to set down the current tool in use. That Sys-1 sits on the top of two Sortainers that all roll around on a Systainer Cart -- and they can roll under my MFT to get out of the way, well, as long as that tool has been put away and the Sys-1's lid is closed first.
With the hose garage attached, the Sys-4 that came with the WorkShop Cleaning Set had been rather empty without the hose. Now that Sys-4 is going to good use and the floor nozzle along with several other attachments fit nicely into the big drawer in the 4 drawer Sortainer. All works great for me, and I can easily clear off the top of the CT for other storage by placing the Cyclone setup on a Systainer Cart.
