Just a tip to share...
If you use a 5 gallon bucket mounted cyclone ( Dust deputy, Clearvue,etc.. ), toss the bucket and go visit your local pool/spa cleaners.
I started looking around when my second snap-on bucket lid finally quit snapping on. Since you mount the cyclone to the lid, cutting and drilling is part of the replacement fun.
Commercial pool chemicals come in #55 lb ( qty ) screwtop plastic containers. The ones I have are about 5" taller; made of thicker , more rigid plastic, and no more snap on lids.. Using a right angle frame, I attached the lid with my cyclone and ducting to the side of my machine cabinet. Now I just unscrew the bucket when it needs to be emptied.
There is even a deep groove on the seal for a gasket.
