moh.vze.com Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I was looking up some wood shop MDF dust vacuums and they ranged from $150 to $800. I was wondering if there any good cheap handheld vacuums for minor MDF dust from cutting small speaker spacers and what not.

audiofanaticz Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Are you wanting an actual dust collector, or a vacuum cleaner? You can buy cheap wet/dry vacs that will suck up mdf dust, but its best to put a small perforated hole bag over the actual filter to keep the dust from sucking into the filter this way the dust wil fall off the bag when your turn the vacuum off. Without the dust catching cloth bag over the filter the filter will suck the dust as needed until its packed full and at that point you need to replace it, or blow it out good enough that it will work again. However MDF dust particles pack these filters full really fast so fast you will be annoyed in no time. The other option is get a cheap wet/dry vac and get the Dust Deputy Cyclone kit, they only work on certain models but can be fitted for others. this way the dust enters the dust deputy and gets trapped in there before making it over to the wet/dry vac, which leaves little to no dust in the actual wet/dry. I have a Stainless Steel Rigid wet/dry vac that I never use due to the dust issues and always cloggin up, so the dust deputy is something Ive been wanting to do for a while.

moh.vze.com Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Can someone link me to the nuts / bolts / screws or whatever people use to bolt it down into the bucket's lid? I feel like I need to stock up on a lot of t-nuts and screws / bolts but I don't know what box builders normally stock up on. I have a shitload of spax nails and nothing else.

8ten8 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 This is for the Dust Deputy but probably will work the gangbang Chinese version. Scroll down to bucket list assembly http://www.garagewoodworks.com/Dust_Deputy.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
