Shop-Vac Dust Collector, Portable Dust Collector for Woodworking, Fits 5 Gallon Bucket, Easy Disposal of Dust & Debris, Elbow Fittings, 2-1/2" Hose and Metal Filter Included

I’m very happy with this sawdust collection system. Easy to put together and easy to use and to empty in. Best price over other systems.

I do like this generally. My only gripe, and maybe there's guidance with it i never saw, is that if turns my 5gal. bucket into a non cylindrical object during use (from suction). On some tools, my danger specifically, it gets so misshapen that it won't stand and falls over.The bypass on the house end isn't enough to prevent this with my 14 gal shopvac.I ended up putting a pair of bricks in the bottom of the 5 gal to hold it down when it gets too misshapen to stand steady so at least it doesn't go anywhere.I do love how much is saving me hepa bags and filter changes.

I have a Dewalt DXV09P. It is a very strong vacuum. I installed this dust collector on a standard 5 gallon bucket and the suction of my vac was strong enough to collapse the sides of the bucket. I put the bucket into another bucket to support the wall and this helped. However, when I started to use it the dust collector (the screen that leads out of the bucket) clogged so fast that the suction went to virtually non-existent almost immediately. I had hoped for a easy to dump solution to my sawdust issues but this is not it. I considered making it two buckets tall to allow more vertical drop but hey, at some point is it worth all that?My conclusion, my shop vacuum is not that hard to dump in the first place. The large filter area of the vacuum's canister allows a great deal of debris to clump on the filter before significant loss of suction. It is what the vacuum was designed to do. This 5 gallon bucket thing is not worth your time and certainly not worth your money. I suppose this started as a you tube craze. Don't waste your efforts. I spent enough time fussing with this with little success. My advice, spend a little time dumping the bucket built into your vacuum cleaner. Oh, and if you do try one, save the box and go for a timely return

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE HOSE FRON THE MACHINE TO THE DUST COLLECTOR IS VERY SHORT . YOU MOST LIKELY WILL NEED AN ADDITIONAL LENGHT OF HOSE.
