Mods to the Dust Deputy bucket setup.
1. Rather than glue the cyclonic separator to the lid with silicone sealer, per instructions, I made a foam gasket. Easier to move to a new container in the future, if I need to. 2. The rigid latching edges on the lid's rim make it very hard to get the lid off to empty the bucket. I cut away the latches on the outer lip. Since the latches also hold the o-ring in place, I used spots of silicone sealer under it to hold it in place. 3. With the lid latches removed the lid can just pops off...and thats a good thing. I made three small clips out of strips of aluminum. They hook over the lid's rim and catch under one of the buckets annular ribs. 4. I wanted to make disposing of the saw dust easy, so I used garbage bags to line the bucket. Since the vacuum would suck the bag into the separator, I added a plywood weight, with finger holes, to hold the bag down and open. 5. I can't believe how well that seperator setup works. I use a ShopVac with the accourdian paper filter. It would plug very quickly with fine saw dust. With the Dust Deputy I was able to fill the bucket 2/3s full and had only a miniscule amount of sawdusw in the ShopVac. Ken |
