Nice job Chris, I really like the raising cradle for the bucket lid. I do have a couple of comments about your setup. It sounds like you do a lot of MDF cutting in your shop and that dust is by far the finest and most dangerous to our lungs. You need to be able to pull as much of that out of the air as possible. Adding a separator, be it a trash can type or a much better cyclone like the super dust deputy does add resistance to your system and lowers suction and CFM. To gain back some of that lost efficiency you may want to look at a canister filter to replace the bag filter you are using. Bag filters do not filter out the very fine dust and actually rely on the dust build up inside the bag to maximize its filtration. This however increases even more the air flow restriction of the bag filter thus reducing further the suction and CFM at the tool. Canister filters have much finer filtering capability and drastically better airflow to allow your blower to operate at its maximum capability. It’s not going to make your setup equivalent to a 2-3 thousand dollar cyclone, but for a fairly small investment it will make your system run better and keep your working environment safer. An air cleaner in the shop also works wonders for getting the dust that the DC doesn’t capture. Looking forward to more videos.
Thanks for watching. I completely agree.. this has been more than amazing. I have yet to get more than a quart of mdf dust in my bag since I installed it. This is designed to be a short lived solution until I can budget for a cyclone system that can handle 6-8" pipe and better filtration. That is coming very soon.
Very interesting setup. Currently trying to get mine set up. At the very end of this video, a piece of slotted angle bracket was mentioned and shown, but I could not see how it was employed. Please clarify. Also really like the lifting handle! It would be very helpful if a pattern, or picture, of the arm could be posted. Thank-you for sharing!
Thanls for watching. I don't recall where the angle bracket was used. I sold that assembly when I upgraded to a much larger cyclone system, so I can't look for it or offer a photo of the pattern for the arm. I sort of built it for my needs and space. I wish I could offer more help. Maybe look at the final walk through and see if you notice the angle bracket.
I rewatched the video for the angle piece. Scroll to about 10:2-10:35 and you will see two white angle brackets on either side of the unit being installed on the lid of the system and up to the wooden arms. These are lifting it up and down with the arms.
You should seriously think about a large round cleanable round filter insted of the bag, you'll get a noticeable increase on cfm and a lot less fine dust in the air. You need one that can filter down to 1 micron. With the bag your using your still putting enough dust in the air you should be using a respiratory.
Thanks for watching and the suggestion. Agreed. The Super Dust Deputy was always intended to be a semi-temporary fix. It was cheaper and offered better performance than just a replacement filter. I had so little dust get past the barrel and into the bag I am amazed. I have since upgraded to a 2400cfm cyclone with a pleated filter. I also upgraded my pipe to 6" and 8" PVC all around. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I have that video and testing of it on my page as well.
Hi awesome build. I am in need of the rectangular connection from the impeller side to the dust bag ring. Do you know where I can find one? I cant tell you how many I have watched but lots of new things from each.
Nice build. I like the lift mechanism you created. May I ask where you sourced the bucket and lid from? I'm using a 31 gallon metal trash can right now and it is a bit too big for proper height of the Super Dust Deputy XL mounted to the top (makes the exhaust hole at the top too tall to line up with my Grizzly dust collector inlet).
I just used the blocking. No more than I emptied it, I just got lazy. I now have a full-size cyclone running 8" then 6" then 4" to the machines everywhere. (it's a video on my channel somewhere about a year ago).
I did modify it because I had the same issue. I used a rubber boot with hose clamps to secure the Y to the housing. I picked it up in the plumbing section of the big box store.
Thanks Chris. I have a lot to learn about dust collection. Right now all I have is the free standing Delta Dc system that works fine. However, I do not have it in a PVC pipe system so I have to connect and reconnect to e machines. I want to have a rea system that connects with gates to all my machines. What is the purpose of the Oneida with the Delta system? Really like your logo.
Thanks for watching. I used to connect each machine one at a time. Then I found myself getting lazy having to move the DC around so stopped using it. I ran a couple lines and that made it better. Finally I just decided to go all in so I didn't have to deal with that. Having the machine in one spot is so much better. The gates help keep vacuum where I need it. I had a separator, but the fine stuff kept getting by & clogging my filter. The super dust deputy solves about 90% of that and actually improved cfm. Ive had several logos but this one is my favorite so it will stay.
It makes it a direct link and provides better air flow. Adding a hose creates some internal resistance in the hose. This eliminates that and improves the design.
@@Demon_Mx2277 No. It actually makes it cleaner and easier when adding the filter and collection bag on the flanged side of the unit. I made supports into the frame to support the motor and tube. It worked flawlessly until I upgraded to a larger 3hp cyclone unit that would handle all of my needs.
If you're going to breathe the air coming out of that machine get adequate HEPA filtration for it. Wheeze-wheeze. Also, if you haven't used it in 25 years get 3 - 40' cargo containers and keep those odds and ends another 25 years.
I often wear respiratory protection. Actually, there is no true HEPA filters available for a shop dust system this size. You can get very small micron, or filters that "claim" HEPA, but they are NOT. They are available for other system types (shop vacs or air filtration), but HEPA would not allow the large motors to function & exhaust properly. Know the facts, cough, cough! If you are buying storage container, im game.

You are correct!! There are many videos out there on this topic but yours is different and very informative. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching and the kind words. I just want to show things to help others.
Great build. I really appreciated the revisiting 3 mo later to see how it's performed. And the unexpected bonus material - golden.
I'm glad it helped. Thank you for watching.

Thanks... It's quite handy.
Good video. Venting outside - that’s the best!
Venting outside is good but this set-up wasn't permanant. I now have a cyclone system and it's located in another corner.
Hi awesome build. I am in need of the rectangular connection from the impeller side to the dust bag ring. Do you know where I can find one? I cant tell you how many I have watched but lots of new things from each.
Check with your DC manufacturer. Otherwise, make one.
Very cool man well done sure gave me the idea to improve mine
Thanks for watching. It has been quite amazing. I've emptied the drum about a dozen times and still only have about a quart of dust in the bag.
Thanks for the video Chris. Do you have a source for the yellow bin you used?
I bought off Amazon. You could get similar at tractor supply as well. I just searched the size barrel I wanted and found it easily.

I found it on Amazon. Tractor supply (online) also has them that size.
Nice work! I need to make a handle lift. Did you ever end up making a catch for the handle or are you still using the blocking?
I just used the blocking. No more than I emptied it, I just got lazy. I now have a full-size cyclone running 8" then 6" then 4" to the machines everywhere. (it's a video on my channel somewhere about a year ago).
Do you have a link or info on the Y fitting you have on the dust deputy? I have the same one and can’t seem to find one that fits.
I did modify it because I had the same issue. I used a rubber boot with hose clamps to secure the Y to the housing. I picked it up in the plumbing section of the big box store.
Ha ha LOVE the manikin head!
He's like an Easter egg and you can find him in almost every video.

@@ChristcrossCrafts Thanks Chris. Every time I preach I have my Bible open to that scripture. So did Billy Sunday when he preached!
Where did you get the drum with the white locking lid?
I found it on Amazon. Tractor supply also has them.
Why did you flip the blower motor over and attach directly to the dust deputy instead of a hose?
It makes it a direct link and provides better air flow. Adding a hose creates some internal resistance in the hose. This eliminates that and improves the design.
@@ChristcrossCrafts wouldn't flipping the blower on its side cause issues?
@@Demon_Mx2277 No. It actually makes it cleaner and easier when adding the filter and collection bag on the flanged side of the unit. I made supports into the frame to support the motor and tube. It worked flawlessly until I upgraded to a larger 3hp cyclone unit that would handle all of my needs.

What did you use to connect the Y connector to the dust deputy? Thanks
I found a rubber boot at my local big box. It's designed for plumbing but works really well for adapting odd parts.
where did u get that yellow barrel from?
I found it on Amazon. I needed a shorter barrel because of my dc redesign & location and fit perfectly.

@@ChristcrossCrafts thanks. I needed a short one for the same reason! and this is perfect.
