Project Information
This design was inspired by DadoDog's Dust Deputy cart for his shop vac and the Super Dust Deputy setup he built. I bought a 1.5hp Magnum dust collector with the bag filter. I also bought a super dust deputy and an Oneida hepa filter upgrade. Everything is 5/8" sanded pine plywood and 2×4's. The bottom is an airtight box above a 60L plastic tote. The bottom is screwed to the metal base that came with the stock dust collector. The filter and collector ring are held down by a long piece of ready rod. The fine dust just collects in the ring. I'm not sure if I'll have to add a separate bid there as the cyclone does a really good job of separating the dust.
I plan to change the door out for plexi so I can see the dust level but as the bin is relatively small, I empty it often. This is because I toss it with my household garage and the can won't fit a big bag of chips with our other trash. I have a separate can with a bag I just dump it into.
So far, it works great. (The paint was from a test colour we got for the house and didn't use. It was close enough to the factory Magnum colour I couldn't resist.)
