Oneida Deluxe Dust Deputy with 10-Gallon Drum

[namluke]

Hi

I have a Makita dust vac and im looking to save on bags and hopefully maintain a strong suction. 

Has anyone had any experience with the Oneida Deluxe Dust Deputy with 10-Gallon Drum and will it work with my Makita VC2012L?

Im looking to connect it to a few machines ... mitre saw small belt sander and a drill press.

I had one and it worked pretty well. Really fine dust from sanding will get buy it but it'll separate some.

Make sure tp seal the cyclone and the drum really well as leaks there have the biggest effect.

I just find my vac gets full to quick and as it get full the suction gets less.

For a while I had one of the smaller ones that went on a bucket and it worked ok before I upgraded my system. It seemed to work ok and would think this one should do an ok job. I totally agree with Chestnut and get some good HVAC tape and seal up as much as possible where you will not take apart. That made a huge difference in my system.

It definatly extends the ammount you can run the vac before needing to address a clogged filter. After ruining festool vacs though i really like bagged vacs. Pull the bag out and empty it or toss it, no added fuss with a space consuming cyclone. They make vac bags for most shop vacs now i believe.
