Dust Collector & Cyclone Separator Kit w/ Clear Bucket, 2.5 Deluxe 5-Gal - Portable Cyclone Machine for Wet and Dry Shop Vacuums

WOOOOOW this thin sucks, I mean the vacuum does not lose any sucking power. Grinding concrete the worst finest dust imaginable cloggs filter in 15 min and the filter bags from Rigid explode they are crap. Bought some china made bags that are amazing but they also eventually fail after half bag is full, no suction power. the grinder creates so much dust that the vacuum can't keep up. dust everywhere, it's a mess. With this cyclone machine, no more mess. Yes the sticky tape is a joke to attach the wheels 5 min, and it's gone. But I mounted the wheel brackets with screws as suggested and it's perfect. Don't suck anything without this device.

I'm a huge DIY type of guy and when I saw the price on most of these systems, I was absolutely not going to do it. Instead, I bought a couple of buckets and some plumbing parts and try to make my own following YouTube advice that they seem to have good success with. At the end of the day, I wasted all that time effort and money and I should've just bought this product. Absolutely works flawlessly and helps keep my shop vac (originally) and now dust collector as clean as a whistle. Could not be happier and would absolutely recommend to everyone. I love the design and the increased suction power because it keeps my filters clean. The product seems to be made durably. If I had one knock is that the maneuverability isn't great if you're attaching it to a shop vac but if you're using it with a dust collector, you will absolutely have no issues

This worked well for me when grinding down a concrete floor. It collected a lot of the fine dust. The wheel bracket attachment method to the collection canister is poor. The kit comes with some double side sticky tape to secure the wheel brackets. The drawing showed a flat land area on the wheel bracket that wasn't there in my kit. This didn't look very secure and was going to be trouble in the future. The instructions also suggested attaching the wheel brackets with 1/4 inch nuts and bolts which were not supplied. The bolt holes were already there on the wheel brackets. I ended up drilling the canister and securing the wheel brackets with 1/4 x 1/2 inch nuts and bolts and plain washers. There are 3 bolts holes per wheel bracket. Now the wheels won't fall off. As others have mentioned, the hoses tend to pull off but can be secured with user supplied hose clamps. I didn't do this as I wasn't moving my setup around much and I needed to flush out the hose at the end of each concrete grinding session.

This takes the shop vac to the next level. All the crap and dust fell into the separator as designed and virtually nothing is reaching the bag or the filter in the vacuum. No more clogs, no more suction loss. But because the hose attaches at a high point it’s very prone to tipping over. So as well as anchoring it to the vac at the wheels I’d also say to anchor it as close to the top as possible. I plan on making a cart of sorts where both the shop vac and this will mount to so it’ll just be on unit to move.

I use this with a surface planer, and a jointer-planer, and I use it when cleaning up large piles of sawdust under the table saw. The suction, through a large Craftsman shop vac, is very good, and the device works well. It is portable and the perfect size for a small shop that can't accommodate a built-in vacuum system. For this particular unit, the problems relate to the packaging & assembly, and the quality of the plastic. My unit arrived missing one (essential) bolt, but had two extra washers; had I not had a spare 1/4-20x3/4" hex bolt, I woujld have either needed a trip to the hardware store, or to wait for a part to be sent to me during which time the unit would not have functioned. The instructions for fastening the caster mounts to the bucket were essentially useless, as was the accompanying illustration; I ended up using my own double-stick tape that was thinner, and allowed a much larger area for adherence. In terms of the lid, there DOES have to be a comprise between flexibility (for removal) and stiffness (to keep it from "sucking-in"); the lid cracked the first time I tried to remove it at an obvious stress-riser at the latch. Further, the gasket between lid and bucket is sticky enough (the upper surface, not the part that is supposed to be sticky) that prying the lid off is a real chore. I will try putting silicone grease around the bucket rim to see if this helps since suction, not friction, keeps the lid and bucket sealed. OVERALL: works well, is astoundingly expensive for a bucket and about six injection-molded plastic pieces (one of which has already broken), is made in America, and could be MUCH MUCH better with a little effort on the part of the Oneida company. I reviewed this product on the Oneida website and within an hour, received an email reply asking for which parts were missing or broken, and where to send the replacements which are now on the way. THIS is GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. And, with some fiddling, it was assembled into a product that works well.

Small space so this is a perfect set up for my workshop. Has great capacity and compatibility with shop vac. Easy set up.

Pricy for what is essentially mostly a plastic bucket but works great. It traps the vast majority of the dust in the bucket (which is really easy to empty), I do recommend this product, it sets up in minutes and has been working flawlessly since I got it. (I plugged a small shopvac when using the saw bench and other misc tools, shop vac not needed if used with a Dewalt planner)

Too light, tips over and lets dust through I added a few bricks to the plastic container do it does not tip over all the time. Let a lot of plaster dust through in my shop vac filter and blocked it, for a small repair job. It's ok, but it's not fantastic for plaster dust.

Did not come with all hose connections needed.

I have the dust deputy deluxe as well as the dust deputy 2.5 deluxe . They both work great.
