Kjelle:
I like it!! The ronseal can, is it a filter, or what? Also, how did you get it to stick to the lid, glue?

Andrew Wildman:
thanks for the comments and ideas.

The Ronseal can encourages the flow around the outside of the bucket so that the heavy swarf drops into the bottom.  I also added the lid of the can later (with holes cut in) to act as a crude diffuser so that the flow up into the vacuum is distributed across a wider area to prevent it picking bits of swarf up.  The lid is bolted on using the 6 m4s that hold on the red nozzle on the top of the lid.

A typically crummy picture shows the grey diffusing lin

Kjelle:
Thank you! I need to make something like that sooner rather than later...
