**Title:** DIY 5-Minute Cyclone Separator for Workshop Dust Collection
**Summary:**
* Create a functional cyclone separator in 5 minutes using:
1. A bucket
2. 2 polypropylene corners from a waste pipe
* This separator efficiently collects sawdust and debris, reducing the need for frequent dust bag changes or vacuum cleaner interruptions.
* Optional: Build a simple U-shaped cart (~30-minute project) for increased mobility.
* Key benefits: Easy to assemble, highly effective, and cost-efficient; can be used with household vacuum cleaners for workshop or renovation projects.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text, numbered and in short sentences, excluding opinions:
**Design and Assembly**
1. The cyclone separator is made from a bucket, 2 corners of a waste pipe, and a lid.
2. Two holes are drilled into the lid for the corners: one in the center, one near the edge.
3. The corners used have a diameter of 40 millimeters.
4. The separator can be assembled in under 2 minutes.

**Mobility and Additional Components**
10. A U-shaped cart can be assembled for increased mobility (takes over half an hour to assemble).
11. The cart was made from unusable plywood in the example.
12. The separator can be easily moved by removing the lid and placing it on another bucket.
**Specifications and Variations**
13. The separator can be cylindrical, not just conical.
14. For a thicknesser, using a corner and hose of a larger diameter is recommended.
