Small Shop Dust Collection 2023. RIDGID 4 Gallon Shop Vac & Dustopper

This is my small shop dust collection system using a rigid shop vac and dustopper cyclone system.

I had the dust deputy for a long time and I found that using a bad in the vac worked wonders from keeping the filter from clogging as fast. You still will empty out the bucket all the time. It is never large enough!

I got a couple of that model small Ridgid vacuums so I an just gonna do the same, get new filters and bags and use some kinda cyclones, maybe the same ones !!

I have a dust stopper on an old Craftsman shop vac. I virtually get no fine dust in my shop vac .I was surprised to see so much in yours.

What is the diffuser thing for? Looks like you didn’t use it?
