I recently reviewed the Dust Deputy DIY (Cyclone Only) and was very
pleased with the results. For those of you (like me) with a small
shop that relies on a shop-vac for saw dust clean-up and extraction
this thing is a must.

Pretty cool... I have often wondered about these type portable units.

You mention that you used a 5 gal bucket and you could use have used a 10
gal bucket. I wonder if the size of the container really matters as long
as it is at least 5 gal and is air tight.
The reason I ask is that you mentioned the tendency for the unit to tip. If
you attached a larger container to the unit it may not be so easily tipped.
Additionally you might consider using a longer hose to get to where you need
to go so that you could fasten the bucket down.
I use a 20' flexible hose with my DC and that works very well, not having to
move the DC, except to empty it.
