It appears that Walmart sells Pub Mix, but it isn't clear the jar or lid is big enough to bolt the cyclone's five inch outlet flange to. The clear jar is a plus, but building an adapter flange is not.

------------------------------------------- The OD of the lid is 4.46", so perhaps the flange bolts to a flat sheet metal adapter could be outside it. The OD of the bottom end is 4.225".
I can't resist asking how you got those dimensions...
I looked at the product photos in search of some clue to scale and didn't find anything I recognized as helpful. The mounting bolt circle for the cyclone is 4.312" with an outlet of 3".
Thanks for writing,

...I measured the 20 oz Pub Mix atop my fridge.
There's nothing better than experimental confirmation...

-------------------------------- How did you think I got them?
I ask because some people can't understand my carefully reasoned though innovative actions, such as carrying a 4" dial caliper in my shirt pocket when shopping for used tools. There's one, a magnifier, dial thermometer and compact tape measure in both glove compartments. Having the thermometer provoked a surprisingly negative response, why would any sensible person do such a thing?
Makes sense to me👍
I have an old Lufkin tape measure that lives in my center console cup holder. I'm terribly near sighted so seeing detail up close is not much of a problem, just look over top of my glasses. I usually have some sort of multitool on me, which covers a lot of bases too. I'll bring along other items if I suspect they could be useful on an outing...
The bucket is rather impressive. Very stout construction with an elaborate sealing and locking mechanism. From the closing instructions that came with it the intent seems to be shipment of hazardous materials under UN/DOT regs. Both lid and bucket are claimed to be .090" thick, and they feel like it.

They are impressive.
I don't recall what was in the dust being separated, but note that EPDM gaskets cannot handle any oil. If that's a problem, replace with neoprene.

I was hopeful you'd figured out how to extract the dimensions from the sales information and/or photos on the web pages. I didn't have a sample available. You didn't mention having a sample, which seemed a normal thing to indicate. From that perspective, the precision of the dimensions was quite marvelous to behold!

To keep explanations short I leave things out to see what readers will or won't correctly assume. What seems obvious to me isn't always to others.
