DUST DEPUTY DIY CYCLONE ONLY ONEIDA

I already owned one of these that worked perfectly! Great product. This was my second one. BUT...when I received it, this one did not include the adapters and hoses that came with the other one. Dissapointed to find out the product SKU had changed, but the price did not. Misleading and not fully explained in the catalogue online. Should offer both kits so it is clear what you are getting.

Works quite well, although I just tried it a couple times. I mounted the dust deputy on a plastic lid but wasn’t excited about having to pry the lid off a 5 gallon bucket each time so I used two buckets…because one bucket will slide into another. I cut the bucket with the lid off about 3” below the final ring that encircles the top where the handle attaches, this ring is about 1/4” wide so I stuck butyl rubber weather stripping on it for a better seal and dropped it into the second bucket. Easy in, easy out, good seal, works great!

It’s good

Works really well. Sourcing fittings was a pain the rear end but once it is set up it works great.

would not buy again, without the right fitting it is very hard, expensive to find odd ball fittings. buy cheaper on with fittings.

Attached it inline to my shop vacuum and it did exactly as promised. Removed all the dust before it got to the vacuum. Haven't tried it with wet dust or liquids, hence the four stars.

I bought this kit after seeing it on youtube so i decided to try it out. After buying the bolts and mounting it on a bucket, it performed flawlessly. I have never had so much fun cleaning my garage after i finish working on a project. Overall, this cyclone is worth every penny. I definitely reccomend this product.

I have a small shop, and wanted to use my shop vac for dust collection to save space. But the cost of shop vac bags and filters was killing me. I got a Dust Deputy DIY and mounted it on the tank of a defunct vac, and hooked it all up in line with my shop vac. That was over a year ago, and since then I have sucked up bucket after bucket of shop debris, but have yet had to change the bag in my shop vac. Dust Deputy rocks! It's worth every penny.

You'll need to make sure there are zero air leaks where the unit attaches to the bucket lid and between the bucket and the lid as well. I had some minor issues with the latter part (lid made of 1/2 in ply), but once the seal was done right, the shopvac doesn't get ANY dust. My vac is an el-cheapo $30 thing with the small 1 1/4 hose, and without a crevice tool or some other attachment on the end, it can howl quite a bit. But the bottom like is this thing seriously sucks... which is kinda good, in this case. You should most certainly consider building a dolly type thing to cart the bucket and shop-vac around in, as the bucket/cyclone assembly will be top heavy unless you drop a 20 pound weight in there. I miss being able to give the hose a good yank to drag the vac around during clean-up, but knowing I'll never have to worry about bags in the vac any more more than makes up for that. All in all, an excellent product!
