What is a scum sock? If you put a sock over it, you're reducing suction. Better to invest in a 2nd filter so you always have one ready to go while the other one is being cleaned, or better yet, invest in the fleece bags.
@@HomeSchool4You Depends what you're vacuuming. A scum sock is very thin like pantyhose and you slide it over the filter, they're used in pools. You don't need a second filter which is the point of a scum sock. Slide it off and pull another one on when needed.
I have the dust separator but I also use the fleece bags. I will say it’s best if you don’t have the separator is to use the fleece. Take some really nice scissors and cut the end all the way across. Take a thin piece of plastic or wood and use some nice binder clips to make it removable. Then you can easily remove the clips and wood piece and dump the bag out and reseal it up for tons of reuse!
Sure wish DeWalt would come out with a nice smaller unit like this, to pair with their cordless dust extractor. That thing fills up quick. Maybe I just get this and pair the 2
Look up CarpenterOne Tstak dust extractor set up. He used a versastack large container that works with Tstak to create a dust separator for it. I built the same one and have used it countless times and once in awhile I need to empty the fleece bag and clean the filters. It’s a really great set-up.
Yes, the power planes definitely get messy. I'm planning to review the new M18 5" orbital soon. It was very nice when I tried it at the Pipeline event.
@MarkThomasBuilder I have the m18 router as well as the m18 trimmer that would also really show the benefits of that separator. I would like to see some really big chips being ran thru it. Fantastic review!
Using the bag AND the debris separator is redundant. In fact, both the bag and the separator will reduce suction somewhat. It's best to use one or the other for best performance.
That's probably true. My thinking is that since the bag and filter is new, I'll probably not lose too much performance. Once the filter gets dirty, then the performance drops pretty quick.
How much time do you spend dealing with dust and clogged filters? Drop your dust collection struggles in the comments.
Just trying to find bags for the packout vac.
Yeeeah, so I want this now. The OCD gives this the stamp of approval. The cleaner the work area, the better.
If you like a clean shop, stay tuned for another review of a hanging air dust filtration system. Should be live in a few weeks.
I really like how this works. Looks much better than the bucket method. I also like to stretch a scum sock over my vacuum filter.
Great tip, I'll have to try that!

I like the idea of this. More compact than the bucket types. I have the packout vac and the fleece bag fils up really quick.
This will definitely help you go through way less fleece bags.

how do you use the dust wands that come with brushless fuel vac with the separator?
Now let’s see if they can actually make a miter saw stand!
This would go well with a router,biscuit jointer and domino too
Yes, for sure! I have a biscuit jointer, so I know what you're talking about.

@EveryDayCivilianBlog will do! Thanks for the suggestion.
I wonder how this would work for cold fireplace ash in combination with my existing Ridgid vacuum & HEPA filters?
I would connect the m12 plane to it as this make a huge amount of shrapnel. The second tool would be my m18 5" orbital.

0:56 that didn’t come with mine.
I bought the fleece bags separately. I like them when with this setup.
@ I bought some but I have a hard time finding more, that’s why I bought this.

Hey 👋 Mark Thomas
Hey Jeremy! How's it going?
@ good 👍 when’s the livestream
I wish I could've gone live tonight. I see if next week works and let you know.
@@jeremynguyen2346 I'm going to try for 8pm on Thursday. Are you around?
For $100 I will just buy filters
wait 4 months. They will have one with it integrated into the vacuum. typical Milwaukee
Hard to say, but the nice thing is you can can use this with any other vacuum and get a wheel kit for it too.
Ear protection brother.
Yes, good observation. I normally have my airpod pros in with noise cancelling when running any vacuum.
