TerryMcK Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Oneida have a UK distributor now and I'm about to click the button to order one. My shop vac, like most non green ones, gets clogged with dust and loses suction so I thought the cyclone may be a good addition. Is the deluxe one any good?

Tom Cancelleri Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Yes! I have one on my shop vac and I use it to connect to my OSS, for vacuuming and cleaning my shop. It does a great job of collecting most of the dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceHoleInOne Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 The "deluxe" comes with a 10 gal can.....yes? Cant speak about the 10 gal can and airflow, but I have the Dust Deputy mounted on a 5 gal plastic pail. For the hobby woodworker a 10 gal can is overkill in my opinion. Works great on a 5 gal pail and never looked back. Its a wonderful thing, buy it! -Ace- Just a side note.....it wont collect fine sanding dust, may get some, but most still gets to the filter.

drzaius Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 The deluxe gets you 2 5 gal pails, casters, hose & various fittings needed to connect it to your vacuum. I went for it because by the time you add the cost of all those pieces, the deluxe is not a bad deal. It's performance far exceeded my expectations. Ace is right about the very fine dust (like MDF), although my experience is that it still gets well over half of it. For dust from sawing, planing & jointing, it probably catches well over 95%.

TerryMcK Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Thanks guys for all the comments - I'd forgotten about Marcs review so thanks for linking that one Tom. I settled on clicking the button. Should be here Tuesday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodbutcher74 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I believe they have revamped the Clear Vue since Marc's review, since you ordered the DD it doesn't matter. You'll like it mine works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Mine works great for fine dust. Long thin shavings seem to go right through to the shop vac. Really keeps the filter clean ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I received the dust deputy deluxe today and fitted it to my shop vac tonight. I even treated the vac to a new filter. I can now use the shop vac on the OSS which has a 2 1/4" port and it works supremely well. Never been able to do that before! Power tool dust extraction is fantastic my ROS was even pulled down to the workpiece. Fortunately the vac hose has an integral adjustable air bleed valve to prevent too much vacuum forming. I fitted the DD permanently to the shopvac using all the included bolts, castors and flex hose and it works as described. Only a tiny amount of solids reached the shop vac the rest went into the DD pail. Awesome. Well recommended to anybody considering buying one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FtrPilot Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I just bought one as well. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 ==>Only a tiny amount of solids reached the shop vac I fitted some small fish-net mesh (I actually cut the bottom from a small hobby fish tank net) over the cyclone outlet port that runs to the vac... The reason: if the cyclone gets overloaded (say you're using the big FT router), it overflows and all the big chips go directly to the vac and fill the bag -- happens quickly and before you know it, bag full... I did this about two or three years ago, hasn't failed since... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
