Another Performance Post - Dust Deputy
I thought I'd just piggy back on this thread . I had a home brew separator and then a "Rockler" style separator lid on a 5 gal. bucket. Both did a decent job but, as Vaughn stated; the difference is night and day. I was a scoffer at the $100-plus small cyclone offerings. I don't know why I question some actual engineering talent when I get proven wrong so often
I'm sure I posted back when I got the plastic Dust Deputy for a Christmas gift some years ago but, even now, it still surprises me.
I had been through a few projects and so before starting another set, I went to empty one of my shop vacs.
After getting all this out of the bucket that sets under the DD:
I was once again surprised at how little material was on the vac's filter:
Or in the vac's bin:
Just more food for thought for those considering one. A separator is good but these things (in whatever flavor) are startling.
