I first saw the Dust Cyclone Separator Cart through RU-vid and after years of clearing out clogged shop vacs every few days I was stunned! "Why haven't I added a dust separator before," I thought! I set out to build my own and here is my video showing you how I did it. I hope it helps you build yours. The Dust Separator Cart is very easy to build and the payoff is completely worth it!

Thanks to this video I made my own version. I used bigger bolts and countersunk them into the plywood, left the top square and attacked a shelf to it to tangle the cable and add a handle. Thanks for this man! it was very helpful!. Also, I didn't use PVC cement, mainly because I didn't have any handy, I used CA glue with activator and works just as well.

@diywithandrew 4 года назад

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to share your project. I'm glad this was helpful.

@erickdanielsson6710 3 года назад

I modified this design. On two of the uprights I spliced in Tee connectors. I then extended from the Tee about 8" pipe. Then added a 90 degree fitting pointed up, placed may 8" or 10" pipe running vertical. Put an end cap on this pipe. Now I have a handy place to store my hoses. I unwrap what I need to reach the tool. I use two types of Rockler hoses, the expandable and the non expandable hoses.

Andrew, Thank you for the great idea! I built this adaptor in just a couple of hours and I love it! It is an absolute game changer!

@diywithandrew 3 года назад

So great to hear Trace!

@Neal312 4 года назад

Thank you, made one similar based on your instruction. One thing I'd point out for anyone wanting to do the same, I wanted the plywood to be lower and ended up getting the precutt 2 ft pieces from the hardware store. To make up for the height I cut a hole big enough for the bucket to go about halfway in. I had put the pipes on the shop vac than put the bucket an inch above the vac and marked where the plywood would sit on the bucket itself, then measured the circumference with a tape. You can then put into one of many online calculators that will tell you exactly how big the hole needs to be in radius or diameter. I set my hole cutting jig to this, about 10.75" and the bucket ended up fitting exactly where I wanted it. Great video, helped save me from a needlessly big wood cart for the set up.

Un like The Duststopper Kit the Dust Deputy has a much longer throat that is tapered, thus more dust from the Duststopper finds its way to the vacuum filter and chamber. The Dust Deputy significantly reduces the dust to the vacuum filter/chamber while maintaining a greater vortex or cyclone. Thumbs up on your creative configuration of comparing both the vac/Duststopper and production quality (less the music).

When figuring out the size hole to cut for the bucket, put the bucket upside down and scribe the circumference. Then flip the bucket, center and scribe that circumference. The sweet spot is right in the middle of your two scribe lines.

I just use math. I ran a string around the circumference of the bucket under the lip. The length of the string is C in this formula. C = 2πR R is your radius

Good project - you inspired me to make one too. One tip from an old plumber....no need to use primer on your PVC for something like this. It’s extra cost and time. It’s critical if you’re doing actual plumbing but keep in mind one component of the cement is the same stuff the primer is made from. So for furniture projects the glue alone is plenty good enough. PS the music could just stay at that nice low background level all the time for my taste LOL (or be nuked) . No need to ride the fader 😂

Great video. I took your idea and ran with it. Only I have a Craftsman vac and the holes above the wheels are only 5/8". I had on hand 1/2" PVC pipe with 5/8" OD. Using short lengths of pipe, I stuffed those into the holes above the wheels (where you used the 2" couplings) and built up from there with 2" 2" pine. ( I drilled the bottoms of the legs with a Forstner bit). I then attached my platform to the top of the legs with screws, cut out the large hole for the bucket, and Walla, was done in no time at all and for basically no cost as I used what I found in the barn. Works great 👍, thanks.

@diywithandrew 2 года назад

Wow that is awesome. Thanks for taking time to watch and share the details of your build!

@njminer 4 года назад

Thanks, great video! I found it easier, when you're trying to get the diameter of the bucket at the lower lip (ref. @3:08), to measure the circumference at the lower lip and divide that by 3.14 to get the diameter (circumference = diameter * pi). Wrap a string around it and then measure the string is better than using a measuring tape.

@mikec8858 4 года назад

This is a great design. Thank you! I purchased the new HD 1400 model. Unfortunately as commented here the new wheel assembly is no longer the same. I used 2" PVC and a 2" female adapter that is threaded on one side and a 2" coupler on the other. You will need to sand down the threaded side slightly in order to get it to fit. You don't need to take off much. I used the electrical gray version as this one was 2 1/2 inches and fitted better. I used the screws for the hose bracket and pre-drilled the PVC on the base. It added an addition connection. I had the dust deputy already and used it with this design. I don't know how to add a picture of the female adapter. You will find it in the electrical dept in Home Depot.

@diywithandrew 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing such helpful information, Mike!

@carlotta4th 4 года назад

Yours sounds better. For mine I used a chisel to cut out most of the 2 x 1/2" reducer inside lip, this lets if fit very snugly in the wheel cavity (seriously snug, the remainder of the lip catches against the sides so it doesn't move around). The top riser of the wheel cavity was still causing a problem so I used a multitool to cut off the back third of it, and with the same tool cut two notches in the 1 1/2" pvc pipes until they could slide inside. Since this method uses less base connectors you'll need a longer pipe to compensate (I'd plan on 34" long and then trim from there as needed). Home Depot also sells all of the pipe parts and flat end caps in black, so you shouldn't need to spray paint at all.

@Ritalie Год назад

10:00. Very good point. PVC glue for some reason pushes the fittings apart, as if by magic. You apply the glue, push the pieces together tightly, and then magically they will push apart and the glue joint won't be seated properly.

@6980869 4 года назад

Awesome build, man! First time seeing one of your vids, the thumbnail caught my attn. like many others, I’ve seen a multitude of DIY shop vac/cyclone separator carts, but this one might be my favorite because of it’s fairly compact design and minimal floor space taken up because of the vertical direction that you went with it. It also looks relatively cheap to make, easy to assemble, and is easily disassembled if & when needed. The only thing I probably would do differently is to just not glue the pieces together just in case I did wanna tweak things a little bit here and there every so often. I’m pretty sure it would hold just fine without it, given the tight friction fitting that the pvc parts have together. Thank you for sharing and I might just have to build this one. Aloha

@kapnkerf2532 4 года назад

I made a similar setup after seeing it on RU-vid. However I found that the rigid shop vac lacked sufficient suction to be very effective in my small shop.

The Description lists links to Shop Vac Elbows because some viewers are having a hard time finding one that works. If you search on Amazon for "Dustopper Elbow" or "Flexaust 231 Tuec Plastic 90 Elbow, Black" you will find the exact same elbow that comes with the Dustopper. I just got mine and it is the same item. Fits on top of the Dustopper (obviously) and fits the port on my Bauer shop vac. Also, the top of the 9 gallon Bauer shop vac isn't as wide, so 2" couplers and 2" pipe is all that is needed, no reducers and short pipe pieces. I did have a hard time finding an adapter to fit the hose from my Bauer onto my tools like my table saw. I bought an adapter set from Lowe's, put two of the pieces together, then sanded down the end a bit. It works fine.

@michaelmacleod1305 4 года назад

Great video. One tip. To protect and extend the life of your filter, get either some panty hose or knee high nylons and put it over the filter. This will trap any dust and keep the filter cleaner. When the nylon gets loaded up just take it off and shake it out or throw away and put a new one on.

Thanks man. And GREAT TIP! Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to share and detail this process out. The hardest part appears to be figuring out the placement of the legs holes in the plywood platform. Do you have any tips to sharing on that process?

@diywithandrew 4 года назад

Thanks, Ken! Glad it was helpful. I measured the center point of each bottom leg (where the pipe slides on top and transferred that dimension to the plywood. I want to say it was 12" on each side? But something like that from corner to corner. Hope that helps!

Great video. Clear and detailed. I'm curious about the marks you made at 7:15. I don't understand why they are necessary. If you set your circle tangent to both sides of the corner, shouldn't it make the same radius regardless of which corner you are working on?

@diywithandrew 4 года назад

Thank you! I think I was just attempting to mark where to stop the circle template/guide so that my radius would be the exact same on each corner. I'm not a mathematician but the corner could be cut smaller or larger depending on where you place the circle guide.

I used a craftsman shop vac and changed the size of the pvc pipe because I could not get the 2” to fit. Used a 1&1/2” threaded fitting and then had to add some gorilla tape to get them to fit tight into the sockets on top of the casters. Worked perfectly.

@TimsBitsnPieces Год назад

Great idea if you have that style of Rigid vacuum but for the rest of us that do not have that then we have to make a trolley first.. like I did..

@diywithandrew Год назад

Yea it’s too bad other shop vac companies don’t make compatible styles or that no one has made a full unit. Maybe it’s a patent thing?

@davids7209 3 года назад

I'd just like to add one thing to your fabulous instructional video. The purple primer is not needed. The purpose of the primer is to create a chemical reaction. When the glue is applied over the primer the pipe actually starts to "melt". Once the chemical reaction starts you have about 10 seconds to join the two pieces of PVC together. It is also recommended that you give both pieces of PVC a quarter turn twist when first connecting them. The purpose of such a bond is to create a water tight seal needed when liquid is transported through the pipe (which is not the case here). I hate using the primer primarily (see what I did there) because it is super thin and gets everywhere!!!!! All that being said, I love the idea and the way you even included the mistakes you made along the way. When I build mine I will refer to this video so that I don't make the same ones.

@diywithandrew 3 года назад

@randolph50 4 года назад

Sorry if you answered this before but I was daunted about reading through hundreds of comments to find out. The suction of my shop vac "Dust Deputy" extractor collapsed the bucket when something blocked the input hose. I had to use plywood rings to reinforce the inside of the bucket. On another video, I saw that they used a second bucket. Question: Does the bucket ever collapse with the Dustopper?

@diywithandrew 4 года назад

Hey no worries! I've had no issue with bucket degradation or collapse. The suction isn't near that powerful IMO.

@paulnevins8267 Год назад

The only issue I see? "Trim & Stability" of the overall unit. If the Vac tank is empty, the center of gravity is raised up. If only light wood dusts, might not be much of an issue. If used at "job site" where heavier sands or gypsum (wall board)? Centre of gravity would be more challenging.
