Does the Dust Deputy really work?
Does the Dust Deputy really work?
This is beautifully designed – works flawlessly. I hooked this up to a shop vac 12 gal 6hp and it works without shooting fine dust particles everywhere. I also have a bag inside the vac that further helps with filtration + the filter on the vac itself.
How tall is the dust deputy?
Original, patented, cyclone design stops over 99% of fine dusts and bulk debris from clogging your vacuum’s filter – eliminating suction loss while saving you time and money on expensive replacements!…Specifications.

What does a dust deputy do?
The Dust Deputy is cyclonic pre-separator designed for any make, size, or model wet/dry vacuum. Its patented design uses centrifugal force to literally spin dust and debris out of the air-stream, trapping it in a container below; NOT in your vacuum!
Do you need a dust separator with a dust collector?
Cyclone separators are used with shop vacs and dust collectors to remove 85% to over 99% of all of the dust before it gets to the filter. Without a cyclone separator you will have to clean your filter 5x to 100x more often, depending on the type of dust you are collecting.
Does a shop vac work for dust collection?
A basic shop vacuum can power a budget dust collection system with parts you can buy off the shelf from your local home center.
What is the difference between a dust extractor and a shop vac?
Range – While shop vacs can be used to clean a range of materials that are not wood-related such as broken pieces of glass and water, dust extractors cannot. Instead, dust extractors are limited to only cleaning the dust and wood related matters such as sawdust.
Is 650 cfm enough for dust collection?
A 3/4 -hp, 650 CFM collector, like the wall-mounted unit shown below might be the perfect solution for a small shop. It’s small enough to move around the shop as needed and conveniently hangs on the wall, out of the way of your tools. In spite of its small size, I found this type of unit worked very well.
How much CFM do I need for dust collection?
They found most small shop stationary tools need about 1000 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of airflow to have good fine dust collection and only need about 350 CFM for good “chip collection”.
Why is a dust collector better than a shop vac?
The filtering capability of even the best shop vac is not nearly as strong as even a small dust collector. Dust collectors are simply able to pull air and dust at a much greater CFM (cubic feet per minute). A shop vac is strong enough to get the majority of dust, though.
How do you get more suction from a dust collector?
Clean your filters often! When the lower bags in a two- or four-bag chip collector fill up, the unit’s filter area is effectively cut in half. This not only reduces suction significantly, but the higher air pressure inside the bag also forces fine dust particles through the fabric and into the shop air.
Can I use a vacuum cleaner as a dust extractor?
A shop-vac (generic use, not the name brand) will work just fine for light-duty dust collection. Particularly when the dust stream is run through a cyclone collector.
How many CFM does a dust collector need?
How many CFM is the Harbor Freight dust collector?
With 1550 CFM air flow this portable dust collector is more effective than many big stationary units. The upper filter bag screens out particles as small as 5 microns – 1/10 the diameter of a human hair. The lower collection bag is translucent so you can see at a glance when it’s time to empty.
