Project Information
I got the Dusty Deputy from Oneida a while back, and while it works great for separating dust and saving the filter, it's pretty awkward to move around the shop. It comes with wheels you can attach to the bottom of the bucket, but it was still pretty unstable. So I made a cart or caddy to keep it together with the vacuum and make it easy to move around.
Right now it's in a pretty basic shape - 3/4" ply, pocket screws and face screws. There's a brace with a cutout for the Dust Deputy funnel to keep it in position. Both the vac and the separator are held on with straps & buckles, so I can take them off for emptying & cleaning. The straps are stapled in place.
It's made mobile with 3" swivel casters. I added a 1/2" ply plate underneath around the casters so I could countersink the bolt heads and still have enough thickness to not wobble. There's three wheels, because my shop floor is anything but smooth.
I have plans to add a table top above the vacuum that I can use as a mobile tool tray, but even now it's a big improvement.
