You really threw away that perfect chance to say "Good Buys vs Goodbyes"?

[kirklashbrook]

i've been using that six gallon Dewalt separator for a few months now, and it's perfect for my DIY garage workshop. Using it with miter and table saws, the 735 planer, router table, sanders. I use it for everything, was a solid purchase. Loaned it to neighbor that uses his own table saw frequently, and now he wants to buy his own.

I got an Oneida Air Systems Dust Deputy 2.5 cyclone separator last week and paired it with my Rigid shop vac. After cleaning a 6 month pile of sawdust from behind the table saw and vacuuming the rest of the shop floor including crumbling concrete, the shop vac is virtually empty and the filter only has a little dust on it! Never believed it would work so well. It is somewhat difficult to drag around so I may get the 32’ hose for that vac and park the thing in a corner. For what shop vac filters cost, and pain cleaning them this type of separator is a necessity!

I had just purchased the DeWalt 10 gallon dust separator because my Dust Right of 10 years developed cracks in the lid So far, works great. 6 months of use will tell the real story. I also have number 6, great hose and connection system.

I have a shop vac based dust collection system in my small shop. I was originally using a dust topper from home Depot, and it works pretty well. Then my buddy gave me his dust deputy, and the improvement in performance is definitely noticeable.

The Makita Dust Box is, in fact, meant to be used when you are unable to connect a shop vac to your saw. It is basically a superior version of a dust bag. And, yes, it is great at that for those who want another option. It's downside is that it's a clunky thing hanging off of an already long mitre saw, so tends to be unwieldy and just gets in the way. That's why I sold my Dust Box long before I sold the saw it was meant for. Cheers.

I use dust deputy 2.5s in my shop and they're amazing. One at my main shop vac setup, one at the CNC. Extremely efficient.
I remember when dewalt launched their version, they also have a steel drum variant. Not a bad buy if you're looking for a plug and play solution. Not quite as efficient as the DD 2.5 though.
I use both types of auto switches in my shop. I like the auto one for hand or table routing. The remote switch is handy to keep attached to the end of the vac hose (like the festool remote) for around the shop cleanup.
I have the big milwaukee version of those wall dust vac attachments but really want a smaller one like you used in this video. They do the job very well. Previously I used the ol' tape a bag to the wall system and it worked well enough. That silicone boot thing is a gimmick; the bag method works just as well and is free.
The mullet boom arm is convenient, but ultimately a gimmick for me. The same can be accomplished for far less money. Mullet in general is far overpriced for what they offer. They must think they're the festool of the dust collection world... At the drill press, loc line is a great option.
I have the bosch version of that cen tec hose and it's been great, but the festool dust extractor was definitely one of the best upgrades I made for my shop. And yeah, a quality sander is a game changer. I first bought the ets ec 150/5 and then the rts 400. Amazing sanders, and an ro 90 is on my short list.
Thanks for this video, excellent points made.

silicon boot is more for drilling hole for lighting ceiling fixtures. houses in asia have concrete ceilings.

[JimHester]

I hadn't seen the boom arm before... will have to check that out.

The best dust collector when you only have to make one or two holes in drywall: a folded post-it note. Gravity FTW!

11:21 that’s why i keep hoses when i toss dead vacuum cleaners

[ChrisHornberger]

I have auto vacuum switches for my table saw, and for my milling station, and for my band saw. All of those are constant-use (generally) when using them, vs. the miter saw that's used like 3 seconds at a time.

[PrevName-hv]

I use the automatic vacuum device for my table saw, planer and jointer, for those devices it works fantastically; I can only see using it with a miter saw if the saw is enclosed or partially enclosed in a hood or something.

[capnslagg]

For catching dust when drilling holes, my goto is a folded over index card and painters tape.

[AverageJosephDIY]

That Delmar is just a cheap knock off of a Dustopper. I use the Dustopper PRO with a 14-gallon drum and don't need anything else for dust collection. Just wheel it around with my vacuum. I get the vast majority of the dust collected before the filter, so no complaints here. That DeWalt is expensive!! My setup is half the cost with more collection space and efficiency.

[aaronoconnor]

I have the Ivac that can be set onto 2 different lines or breakers I love that thing works great for corded track saws and sanders they are more expensive but well worth it

[JeffDM]

I wish I bought the anti static version of the Centech hose. I use it a lot but several times I’ve felt it generate a strong static field. Something worth considering.

[fortezzasolutions]

The Makita Dust Box deep dive was awesome. Thanks for taking the time. I still love Makita.

[boivin]

For the dust extractor remote; in Canada some of the cheaper products are less available, so I got a couple of the “outdoor outlet switch”, they are often sold with Christmas lights/for block heaters and are usually $10-15, cheapest option I found and works great.

[enquiries.kbaphotography]

Auto switch is good for Piller drills sanders and power planer but agree on the on off remote

[csimet]

Totally agree on your point of "bigger is better." A true cyclone separator will outperform any of the versions that simply just spin the air at the top of the open-to-the-bottom canister/pale. You need to put a large one in front of your wall mounted Rockler.

I looked at a smaller separator and a shop vac that I could move to the tool in use, but decided I was better off putting the time and money into running DWV piping in the shop that goes back to a Oneida Dust Deputy Cyclone XL in front of my Grizzly 1250 CFM. Never looked back. It works like a dream and catches 99% of everything before it makes it to the Grizzly dust collector... I almost never have to change its bag. Not having to move each time I use a different tool it is a huge improvement.
