  • Does an awesome job, but overpriced
Style: The Dust Deputy Diy
I've got this connected to a 6-gallon bucket and I've filled the bucket 3 times with no noticeable gain in the amount of dust in the shop vac body or filter. So they aren't kidding when they say the dust deputy keeps 99% of the dust out of the vacuum. In my case, one bucket of sawdust came from the Paint Shaver Pro (highly recommended) which produces larger particles of wood or even splinters up to 1" long on some older deck boards. The remaining buckets came from 24 grit and 60 grit sandpaper. I only knock this thing a star because it's $50 for a piece of plastic and that's kind of crazy. Yeah, it's supposed to be fancy anti-static plastic, but it still develops static and I find a little dust sticking to the outside. Also, the base on mine was warped so there are a couple 1/8" gaps when you set it on a flat surface. Adding caulk as per instructions takes care of that, but for $50 I kind of expect no flaws like a warped base. I'm also not entirely happy about them putting a "male" end on both air intake and exhaust. If you connect a 2.5" hose to the air intake, you end up pulling your material past a narrower point that's about 1.6" interior diameter and you may create a clog there. Not a problem if you're only creating dust but long splinters or other large things can be a problem. In my case, I stuck the 1.5" shop vac hose inside the dust deputy intake tube and duct taped it in place, so none of my material goes through a narrower point and I never got a clog. If you don't have a 5 mil thick plastic bucket available or you aren't sure your local hardware store carries 5 mil, it may be worth buying the "deluxe" dust deputy for $30 more. I had a 5 gallon bucket from Lowes laying around which had no thickness indicated and it promptly collapsed when I tried to use it with the Dust Deputy. The local hardware store had only 0.7 mil plastic buckets, so I was forced to buy a metal bucket for $20. In retrospect I may have been able to buy a couple 0.7mil buckets and nest the three together to get something strong enough (maybe) but I didn't think of that. Then it took 3 hours to get the handle removed from the metal lid and get holes cut/drilled (I don't have good tools for metal work) and after waiting overnight for caulk to dry the vacuum suction was poor. I found some gaps in the bucket side seams (could hear them with the vacuum running) so had to caulk them and I added soft weather stripping beneath the lid. I held the weather strip with just a few squares of thin double-sided tape since I didn't really expect it to work. The vacuum pulled the lid down, making it concave instead of convex, but it did the job. Note that the latex (Big Stretch) caulk I used did not cure enough overnight to prevent it from getting pulled into the bucket at two points, so I had to redo those points. Even 5 days later there is still a bit of white caulk visible (it turns clear when cured) because it gets squished down into a wide area where most of it is far from the air it needs to cure. So follow the directions and only use a narrow line of caulk and wait until it's completely cured if possible. Or use the recommended silicone caulk. Or buy the deluxe kit which includes gaskets and I don't think caulking is required. Having two buckets in the deluxe kit lets you move the lid with dust deputy attached from the full bucket to the empty bucket instead of detaching hoses from the deputy or dragging hoses out along with your full bucket. Simply setting the lid down while you empty the bucket is not a great option because a thick layer of sawdust will stick underneath the lid (due to static, I guess) and large amounts can fall off when you set the lid down. I have a feeling my contraption still leaks a little under the lid and that I would get better suction from a tighter-sealing container. The instructions describe creating a DIY lid out of plywood by routing out a groove around the edge and putting "gasket" rubber into the groove. I don't have a router so that's not an easy option, and they also don't mention how to hold this lid in place. I guess weight and vacuum suction, but that sounds too easy to dislodge when the vacuum is off. Note that one advantage of using a metal bucket is that its weight prevents the system from easily tipping, and the one I bought is a lot shorter and wider than a typical 5 gallon plastic bucket so that also helps. A disadvantage of the metal bucket is you can't see how full it is, but even letting dust accumulate to about 2" from the base of the deputy didn't stop it from working. You'll start seeing more material swirling around the base of the deputy when the bucket is nearly full so that's a decent warning (although not entirely reliable as even a half-full bucket can exhibit some stuff swirling around the base - I also theorize that could be a symptom of having an air leak). ... show more

  • Yeah, They're GREAT!!
Style: The Dust Deputy Diy
Works like a charm. I can't believe how little dust makes it through to the shop vac filter. Better than expected, even with Powder Coat dust (very fine). The inlet and outlet stubs are kind of weirdly sized. I use Rubber PVC Pipe Adaptors to make the transitions: 2" to 1.5" Rubber Adaptor for the hose-in on the side. (2x) 2" Rubber Elbows for the top. They just slip right onto the unit and clamp to hoses. I also use RTV goop at the lid connection point so that no air leaks can stir the falling dust, and I cut the hole in the lid a tad larger (same reason). I use a shorter bucket (cat litter size) so it won't fall over. ... show more

  • Robust and effective
Style: The Dust Deputy Diy
Very happy with this. It is well made and works exactly as advertised. Just make sure you have a sturdy lid for your bucket as the item is tall...if it gets tugged along you'll want to make sure the lid it affixes to is not too thin.

The results are amazing. Virtually no dust ends up inside the vacuum. Saves me a lot of time and money on filters.

  • Awesome collector, doubles as 2.5" adaptor for smaller hose vacuums (1 7/8" smallest)
Style: The Dust Deputy Diy
I have a 1 7/8" hose for my bauer vacuum. I was worried it wouldn't fit, come to find out that it fits perfectly! As you can see in the pic, the 1 7/8" hose fits snug in the top, then I bought an additional 2.5" hose to go to my tools/accessories. This was the coolest part for me as I no longer have to worry about adaptors or other vacuum accessories as I can simply buy 2.5" everything now! And if a dust port is too small for the 2.5", it's much easier to find adaptors that shrink the input of the hose rather than expand it. Highly recommend this and hope you can enjoy my super basic setup. Surprisingly, this design is not as top-heavy as it looks. Final recommendation would be to get a lid with some rigidity. The dust-deputy on this standard Lowe's lid flops around a little, but this hasn't hurt the suction so far. If anything, it may break down the gasket more quickly in the long-run. ... show more
