Great addition to shop vacuum
Works great in conjunction with ShopVac. Virtually no dust reaches the ShopVac, so the filter stays clean and does not clog.

Worked Well to Collect Concrete Grinding Dust
This worked well for me when grinding down a concrete floor. It collected a lot of the fine dust.The wheel bracket attachment method to the collection canister is poor. The kit comes with some double side sticky tape to secure the wheel brackets. The drawing showed a flat land area on the wheel bracket that wasn’t there in my kit. This didn’t look very secure and was going to be trouble in the future. The instructions also suggested attaching the wheel brackets with 1/4 inch nuts and bolts which were not supplied. The bolt holes were already there on the wheel brackets. I ended up drilling the canister and securing the wheel brackets with 1/4 x 1/2 inch nuts and bolts and plain washers. There are 3 bolts holes per wheel bracket. Now the wheels won’t fall off.As others have mentioned, the hoses tend to pull off but can be secured with user supplied hose clamps. I didn’t do this as I wasn’t moving my setup around much and I needed to flush out the hose at the end of each concrete grinding session.

Oneida Air Systems Dust Deputy Deluxe Cyclone Separator Kit
I love this item. The Oneida Air Systems Dust Deputy Deluxe Cyclone Separator Kit works great with a vacuum. The item separates all the dirt that you suck up with the vacuum. and you have easy access to the dirt without your filter getting dirty. Love it.

Very pleased.
I have been a customer of Oneida Air Products for a long time. I recently purchased this item with the 10-gallon steel drum which I am very pleased with. Very sturdy, much stronger air flow than my smaller one. I did have a small issue with the purchase, but it was handled quickly and professionally by the nice folks at Oneida Air. Five Star all day long. Wood dust has no chance up against these folks.

Dust Deputy: Works better than advertised!
The Dust Deputy has far exceeded my expectations. I watched a review of cyclone dust separators from the Wood Whisperer and he recommended the Oneida Dust Deputy. The product claimed to remove 99% of the dust before it got to my shop vac. I’ve been using it and 99% would seem to be possibly conservative. I am getting almost no dust through to the bin or filter in my shop vac. I even vacuumed up some bits of styrofoam. Since it was so light, I was sure it would get pulled through to the vacuum canister. It swirled around in the cyclone chamber and when I turned the power off, it dropped into the bucket.Pros: – Captures nearly all of the dust so my shop vac filter stays clean and operating at full power – Even extremely fine dust stays in the bucket. – Uses two buckets – one with wheels bolted to the side of the shop vacuum and one to pull out and dump. This makes it very easy to empty the bucket. – The top comes off easily when it’s time to empty the bucket – Easy to assemble with clear instructions – Bolts easily to the side of the shop vac for stability – Wheels help with mobility – Fittings worked well with my shop vac hoseCons – The hoses just fit on rather than screwing in as they did on my shop vac so I can’t pull it around by the hose anymore. To fix this, you would have to have different fittings for different brands of vacuums so it’s probably not practical for them to solve this – With the Dust Deputy attached to my vacuum, it doesn’t roll as easily anymore. I could have chosen to not attach it so this isn’t a big deal either.Summary: It works incredibly well in removing the dust so it doesn’t plug my shop vac dust filter and is very easy to clean up. I wish I had gotten this years ago and would highly recommend it to any woodworkers who don’t have dedicated dust collection systems.

Expensive; fragile top; missing parts, but works well
I use this with a surface planer, and a jointer-planer, and I use it when cleaning up large piles of sawdust under the table saw. The suction, through a large Craftsman shop vac, is very good, and the device works well. It is portable and the perfect size for a small shop that can’t accommodate a built-in vacuum system. For this particular unit, the problems relate to the packaging & assembly, and the quality of the plastic. My unit arrived missing one (essential) bolt, but had two extra washers; had I not had a spare 1/4-20×3/4″ hex bolt, I woujld have either needed a trip to the hardware store, or to wait for a part to be sent to me during which time the unit would not have functioned. The instructions for fastening the caster mounts to the bucket were essentially useless, as was the accompanying illustration; I ended up using my own double-stick tape that was thinner, and allowed a much larger area for adherence. In terms of the lid, there DOES have to be a comprise between flexibility (for removal) and stiffness (to keep it from “sucking-in”); the lid cracked the first time I tried to remove it at an obvious stress-riser at the latch. Further, the gasket between lid and bucket is sticky enough (the upper surface, not the part that is supposed to be sticky) that prying the lid off is a real chore. I will try putting silicone grease around the bucket rim to see if this helps since suction, not friction, keeps the lid and bucket sealed. OVERALL: works well, is astoundingly expensive for a bucket and about six injection-molded plastic pieces (one of which has already broken), is made in America, and could be MUCH MUCH better with a little effort on the part of the Oneida company.I reviewed this product on the Oneida website and within an hour, received an email reply asking for which parts were missing or broken, and where to send the replacements which are now on the way. THIS is GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. And, with some fiddling, it was assembled into a product that works well.

Ça fonctionne super bien, très efficace!

This will make your shop vac bulkier, but boy does it ever work well! You will save money on filters. You will be saving the messy job of cleaning and/or replacing shop vac filters, and you will save money by not having to buy a new shop vac every few years because drywall dust has destroyed the bearings. If you deal with fine dust, like abrasive drywall dust, this thing is a MUST HAVE. You will maintain full suction, and not have to screw around trying to knock the dust out of your shop vac filter which will quickly plug up if you don’t have one of these. I’ve had one for 20 years and it is still going strong. I bought this one for my daughter and son-in-law. You will never regret buying this product even though it may cost a bit more that the competition.

Pricy for what is essentially mostly a plastic bucket but works great. It traps the vast majority of the dust in the bucket (which is really easy to empty), I do recommend this product, it sets up in minutes and has been working flawlessly since I got it. (I plugged a small shopvac when using the saw bench and other misc tools, shop vac not needed if used with a Dewalt planner)

La separación de polvo en la cubeta de 19 l es muy buena, evitando limpiar la aspiradora y sus filtros. Lamentablemente para las dimensiones de mi taller ya se requiere de un sistema de mayor capacidad, pero para pequeños talleres es muy adecuada.

Is one of the best pieces of kit, thankfully got this on a special deal, so paid no where near the £200+ being asked currently.Been using it with a Bosch GAS 30 on my house reno and the amount of dust it catches is unreal. Only the finest plaster dust gets into the filter bag.With Bosch bags being £7-8ea and being to empty so easily its definitely a welcome addition.
