Found the link to the excel sheet. http://billpentz.com/woodworking/Cyclone/CycloneSpreadsheetAC080120.xls
If you dont have Microsoft Excel you can always use OpenOffice which is free. It is found here. http://why.openoffice.org/index.html
I also just re read your post. I believe you should be using a 6 inch Diameter down to 2.5 drop for the funnel. I believe it was 12 inches tall when I was planning mine back in the day. I was thinking of using 6 inch pvc pipe from lowes and sheet metal for the rest. After I started pricing everything out I ended up going with the Dust Deputy shop vac setup for 59 dollars. The excel sheet with give you the dimensions for the Clearvue Shop vac Cyclone as they use Bill Pentz formula to build theirs. Either way good luck and let us know how it goes.
