Simple Dust Collection System Upgrades | Rockler Demo 

Thanks for the feedback. We have passed this along to our product team.

@@rockler Thanks for considering this feedback. I strongly believe that Rockler is good brand just like any product sometimes it is not the right idea or innovation for it but the next one could be better. Thank you again.

I have/have had a Rockler Dust Right Separator attached in line with my shop vac for a while. The Shop vac is stationary because I mounted it on the wall… next in line is the Dust Right Seperator which I hooked up to a custom system that hangs above my workbench so I can quickly clean the dust or attach a hose to a tool to a flex hose from above. I’ve probably had this setup for 3+ years now and I’ve never once had to change a filter or remove a bag from the shop vac. The Dust Right Seperator has filled up to the brim with sawdust many times ( I know I should empty it before it gets that full ). I did purchase that tape you can buy from Rockler called the: “X-Treme Tape for Dust Joints” and used that on… well, all the dust joints. I don’t work for Rockler in any way I’m just telling you it does work (in-line with a shop vac at least). I’ll link the X-Treme Tape for Dust Joints below. Hope this helps or gives some encouragement! -Drew www.rockler.com/x-treme-tape-for-dust-joints?country=US&sid=V91040&promo=shopping&PL&gclid=CjwKCAjw4ayUBhA4EiwATWyBrkkvN14qPa9W-IAemjCS9WIXhjvXJkL_k6qptL_MU519qOv0ZQbAIRoCng4QAvD_BwE Ps. If you want to see screenshots send me a message. Also, we might have different model numbers but I don’t think the design has changed drastically that much over the years.

@@greenlandwoodworking4407 Drew, thanks for sharing your experience. It is really weird then because my vacuum filter gets clogged in almost no time. And the thing is you can connect the hoses in any way so there is no margin of opportunity to get connections in the wrong place. Super strange situation for sure. Thank you again Drew.

Hi Buddy, Please reach out to our product support team at 1-800-260-9663 or support@rockler.com. They'll be able to assist you with any questions you have about our dust collection products. Thank you

@@rockler I do see that this is actually a unit that you all sell, and it has not need modified.

Hi Roque, we recommend reaching out to our Product Support team at 1-800-260-9663 or support@rockler.com. They may be able to assist you. Thank you!

We carry an extensive catalog of 4" hoses and fittings. The 5" hoses and fittings aren't as commonly sought after, and we don't carry that size. You can view all the 4" options on our website at - www.rockler.com/power-tools/dust-collection/dust-collection-fittings - On the left there are Filter options, select Hose or Port Size, and select 4" to see the products. Thanks!

Anyone with a 3D printer could easily make one for you.

@@SteveCarmichael That might be true if I knew someone who had one, but completely not the point. It's a complete industry miss - whether intentional or not - to not produce available couplings in correct dimensions to fit standard port sizes.

Gary Gibbons sounds like a business opportunity for you

Try a 4” rubber hose gasket

@@ron0126 Maybe so. I'm not interested in going down that path at this stage of my life though! duct tape will have to do!

As long as you have a 3D printer already... :) But do big 3D-printed parts that have enough strength under constant pressure or tension to hold together? Wouldn't such parts need glass fibre or similar for strengthening? Some of these Rockler parts seem rather flimsy too...

What are you talking about?

Hi Frank, We appreciate your honest feedback. We will pass this along to our product development team. Have you seen our Fixed Length Flexiport Hose? - pulse.ly/euy8wzcec1 - It may be more suitable to you. Thanks

@@rockler Hi, Yes. That was the one I missed out on. I had a choice between the two when they were on sale and I thought the space savings would be worth it. I would actually like to get the Fixed Length Flexiport one someday soon

There is a 20% off coupon you can use on the Dust Right products until 12/24/22. For the Flexiport hose you have now, we just released an upgrade kit to the new Click-Connect hose adapters and it incorporates an airflow-control ring that can be rotated to release vacuum pressure and alleviate the issue of the hose retracting. Another option to look into. Thanks.
