Separador de ciclón antiestático antipolvo (DIY)

Genius design that works great for preventing sawdust from going to your vacuum. This worked so much more effectively than I expected it to.

I have made these dust extractors in the past and they work pretty good. But this Dust Deputy is awesome as there is absolutely no dust getting into the vacuum and plugging the filter. I have mine connected to a 20 litre pail and it is the best tool now. No more plugged filters in my vacuum.

Fue sencillo instalarlo en una antigua cubeta de pintura de 20 l. Para conectarlo a mi aspiradora y mi sierra de mesa tuve que comprar mangueras de 2.5 in de diámetro. Las conseguí sin problemas en Home Depot de marca Rigid. Ahí también venden adaptadores para otros diámetros estándar: 1 7/8 in y 1 1/4 in (el típico de una aspiradora de casa).

No creía que funcionara ,,,, súper recomendadoIncluso sin conectarla a la aspiradora a mi cepilladora DW y muy muy poco polvo sale ….

Este separador cumple su función, el diseño hace que funcione muy bien. recomiendo un tanque de mas de 20 galones si lo vas a usar con una cepilladora ya que lo llena muy rápido. si puedes lo recomiendo ampliamente. amazon lo envió en tiempo y forma y llegó muy bien.

Buen producto

Cumple su función muy bien, casi no cae nada en la aspiradora; separa un 98-99% del aserrín

works well and easy to install

Es como se ve en la foto, cumplió con las expectativas

Funciona perfectamente y permite mantener limpio el filtro de la aspiradora, dejando el aserrín, polvos y viruta dentro del contenedor al que lo he conectado.

Venía abierto el producto. No venía con ninguna clase de cinta o envoltura, pueden faltar piezas o haberse tirado.

The difference these made in my dust collection is huge. The shopvac’s filters remained cleaned even after some serious heavy use to collect avout 4 gallons of saw dust from the router, table saw and then the driveway! I have 3 issues with this prod:1- the 2” inlet and oulets do not match my Shopvac’s normal 2.5” hose.2- It’s relatively small. Some bigger chunks of material end up spinning near the top until the vacuum is turned off. This is not a problem in bigger cyclones I have seen, where material get far enough from the center to fall off.3- It has quite a hefty price tag. I wish it was made by some local Canadian company for a more reasonable price.Apart from these, the setup was really easy and it worked quite well afterwards.

I've got to say that I was skeptical at first with this thing, but after just one use I am thoroughly impressed. At $50+ the price is steep for just the cyclone piece, I think they could throw in a gasket, or maybe some various hose adapters. I'm using mine on a white "food grade" 5 gal bucket I bought from Home Depot. A quick squeeze of this bucket compared to the typical orange Homer bucket revealed the white one was a tad thicker and I thought would be better at not squeezing in. I made a rigid round doughnut for the lid about 9 inch diameter and and caulked it to the lid. I also printed out Oneida's template for the bolt pattern. I got a 1/8 inch thick 6" x 6" piece of rubber from Ace Hardware to make a gasket seal between the cyclone and the top of the lit. I used 1/4inch x 1 1/2 long bolts with washers and nuts to attach it. Came out looking sweet and feeling really solid. Attached to the bucket and gave it a whirl. Only minor lid depressions from the suction, and no leaks. Like other people complained, it is a little tippy. But I'll resolve that with some concoction of a cart to hold the vacuum too. I don't do a ton of woodworking, so I feel the 5 gal bucket size will be fine for my need.As far as the vacuum, I'm using a Home Depot Rigid model WD4070 bought for $69. I looked around for the something that sucked but didn't suck* and thought that was the best value. I am very happy with the power, size, and abilities of it. It's not as loud as people complain too. I felt that since I was using the dust deputy, I didn't need a huge shop vac, so I opted for a similar power one with a smaller volume. Not sure about the science behind all the static pressure, and suction pressure. But this one gets the job done well.After a 20 minute run sucking up saw dust of poplar, pine, and fir, and some plane shavings, the dust deputy did incredible. Its satisfying seeing it swirling around in there too, and even more satisfying when I opened the vacuum up after and not a freakin spec of saw dust was found. Its almost like magic! haha.The only frustrating occurrences I had were with the hoses, attachments, and adapters. Since I can't really blame Oneida for that since they didn't provide any, and it would be hard for them to because of all the different sizes out there. The adapter and hose companies really ought to dumb it down for us DIYers, and color code which hose will fit on which connections. The outer diameter and inner diameter sizes are a nightmare, and it really forces you to over-buy several different options bring it home and see what fits, then return what doesn't. The good thing about the dust deputy is [that I thought at the time] that the nozzles are tapered so maybe it could fit a few different close sizes. I ended up buying a larger hose for the vacuum end, and using the original hose that came with the vac, on the opposite end before the dust deputy. Ugh. My local HD didn't have a big selection of adapters, nor did they have optimal size rubber-and-hose-clamp ones.PROs: would buy it again, well engineered and gets the job done well.Con's: prepare for an annoying time getting hose fittings to work.
