    From Australia, I bought the original many years ago (at great expense because nobody distributes these in AU except Amazon) I made a custom timber box for it on wheels, insert a big heavy duty garbage bag, some weatherstrip seals the lid and lock the top on with toggle clamps, sealed the Duststopper to the lid with Sika 11FC, been running it for years without any issues, keeps my shop vac perfectly clean (I use a bag in the shop vac) and haven't replaced the bag in it after 4 years of use because basically nothing gets past the Duststopper, very happy with it, I can see how the new latches make it easier to use if using with a bucket and the seal helps efficiency, after seeing this I have no need to upgrade my one as it just works, thanks for the comparison.

    I just love when a company designs a product and then once they figure out all the stuff they did wrong or should have designed differently they don’t just update it they call it “Pro” and charge more instead of just updating the model.

    I have found this to be a huge money saver.
    Been on a constant reno project for a while.
    Have sucked up everything. I put a brick in it so it doesn't flip over. I sometimes don't use the elbow (older version) and just jam the hose end straight down. It's just long enough.
    The seal to the pail I don't care about as the worst thing that can happen is other random dust to get pulled in.
    Great saver of drywall bags which are almost theft at the prices they charge.
    It's close to paying for itself just in drywall bags.

    Thanks for putting this video up. I appreciate your straightforward delivery and how you went about comparing.
    I have the original Dustopper and it came with two long sweep 90 elbows, not the tight 90 elbow. Personally I don't really mind how it snaps on and off.
    I have done some preliminary anemometer airflow testing, and one thing for sure - which is intuitive anyway - the more connections and the longer the hose length, the greater the drop in airflow. All and any of that simply creates more friction on airflow and slows it down.
    I don't have a dedicated piped system with a central vac/separator so only use shop vacs for dust collection, partly due to space considerations. One not insignificant problem with five-gallon buckets for separation is: they hold five gallons! And routers and thickness planers can fill those pretty quickly. So I add an additional separator (simple two-hole top for hose in and hose out) on top of a seven-gallon bucket before running it into a Dustopper bucket. If you do a lot of planing you can fill these buckets in no time, so I use several buckets until they are all full.
    One last comment. The Dustopper is not very efficient for fine sanding. The sanding dust isn't heavy enough to drop out so a lot of it still ends up on a shop vac filter.

  • @waynemiller6070

    Rather than make extra hoses and blast gates, I bought 2 vacuums, 2 original dust stoppers and buckets. I bought a remote power control that supports 3 power sources, so I just turn on #1 or #2 depending on which saw I'm using. Sometimes it seems like the duststopper isn't doing much until I check the bucket and it's full. Yeah, for how much they cost, they work pretty well. Surprisingly well.

  • @calsbarn5996
    @calsbarn5996 6 месяцев назад +1

    Fwiw, I bought one of those for the dust in my sand blaster - using aluminum oxide. That dust is *really* fine and the Dustopper helped but didn’t do a very good job. Most people using these are using them for sawdust so I’m posting this only to help those few that are wanting to separate something much finer than sawdust.
    I found a Dust Sheriff here on RUclips that was really good - I’d say at least 10 times better - but I can’t find that particular video anymore. Whoever did it tested the Dustopper, a Dust Deputy, and his own Dust Sheriff. He found that all 3 were nearly the same with saw dust but for really fine stuff, like talcum powder (drywall dust?) or sand blaster dust, the Dust Deputy was better than the Dustopper. His Dust Sheriff was even better - and I can confirm that - but unfortunately it isn’t on RUclips anymore.

    I have the original and I love it. I used to use it on my table saw (Ridgid R4512) now I just use it for sanding. Not enough airflow for the table saw but excellent with the sander. Mine came with the harsh 90, and only one. When I build my cart (using plans from John Builds It) I needed a second 90 and bought another harsh 90 (before I knew better).
    I would buy the Pro version just for the sweeping 90's but I like that it is a little quieter. You didn't address it in the video but I could tell (with headphones) that the Pro was quieter than the older one and your meter indicated that it was by 5-10 db. That's significant.
    I use a HEPA filter and bag in my vacuum so I get nothing coming out of the exhaust of the vacuum. Using it mainly for sanding, that's important.

    I had trouble with the gasket and the latches when using with the Dewalt 735 planer. The gasket would leak and/or the latches would pop off, sending sawdust all over. I caulked the gasket in place and added two spring latches. Solved the problem but obviously improvements are needed.

      Problems from feeding a Dewalt 735 into one of these is not surprising. They have a very powerful blower onboard and they will overwhelm basically any shop vacuum they're fed into. Back pressure pushing debris into a smaller separator like this isn't ideal.

    I will tell you that the clear is -wonderful- for telling when you get the bucket full. I have the original and vented my planer to it... you knew the bucket was full when you saw chips fly out the top (about 6 boards). Clear FTW!
    Don't use with micro-shop-vac. The Stingers, etc don't flow enough for the dust separation to work.

    I wish this "pro" version had been available a few years ago when I built up a stand-alone dust collector for my CNC machine. The molded (and now broken) locking tabs on the original are the one thing that bugs me about my setup. I wanted to improve the typical, awkward configuration of Shop-Vac, 5 gallon bucket and floppy intermediate hose. I mated the motor head of a Shop-Vac directly to a Dustopper which conveniently fits up to the Shop-Vac's metal canister. Fortunately, the motor head is held together with sheet metal screws so I could easily eliminate everything except the motor and the blower housing and then bolt the blower directly to the Dustopper without too much hassle.

  • @WillN2Go1
    @WillN2Go1 5 месяцев назад +1

    Good video. Very practical results. I noticed on mine, that's far more primitive and years older, is the sides of the bucket suck in a bit. This depletes suction power. I thought maybe the gussets would stop this, but both tops moved about the same. It is good that they've changed a few things. I'm guessing somewhere some really heavy users were cracking that male pipe spout off the older one. The real change is the seal which you DIY'd.
    I'd still always use a bag in the ShopVac, and I always want some kind of rollers on the bucket and a way to connect it to the ShopVac so I can move the two together around the shop or jobsite. This is good, but it's still a lot of juggling. Why are all vacuums house or shop able to handle a hose and a cord and everything else is just all over the place? I just paid $500 for a Dyson, same thing. (Dyson also has a laser on the main floor 'brush' which you then miss when you use anything else. I'll bet you or some other shop nerd will soon figure out a way to do this with an LED and duct tape or velcro. It's just really handy. )
    Something else I do. I've had a photography darkroom . The one from years ago we'd vacuum inside and there was always dust on the negatives, total pain. In my last darkroom which had a door to my backyard, I would vacuum it, but I always had the shop vac outside, and I'd run a hose from the exhaust around the side of the building. Inside I would only clean surfaces with water from the tap (grounded). No dust problem at all. This would be a good tip on a job site where someone is painting near by. Unfortunately a lot of vacs now don't have blower ports.

    If using power tools, I always use ear protection, so the noise does not matter to me. I hope everyone would protect their earing. I have the old orange dust hopper; use it with an old Craftsman 45 litre shop vac. My hopper came with the sweeping 90 degree fittings; I got it at a HD here in Canada. In the end it sure saves me a lot of cleaning time.

  • @Justin-C
    @Justin-C 5 месяцев назад +1

    I'm team OG Dustopper. Those newer latches look like they'd be prone to breaking more easily.. and they've gotten so much more expensive. I ditched the hard right elbow on mine and just use a short 2.5" hose to make a gradual bend & feed into my vac - much quieter and much less obnoxious.
    Either way, a must-have vacuum/dust-collection upgrade for any woodworker/DIY-er - makes your vacuum filters last basically forever because almost nothing gets to them, especially not any nasty moist stuff that the separator will easily catch.

    I think I'd go with the pro, but both did very well. I feel the Pro is made and packaged a bit better than the orange one. But if price was significantly different, I go with the cheaper of the two. If, however, they were priced similarly; off by say a few dollars, I'd definitely like to go with the Pro. Overall, for dbs and cfs, both did very well in keeping the shopvac clean inside.

    To my eye the input port to the Dustopper Pro is clearly larger in diameter than the original, at least in the inside diameter dimension. You measured the output port diameter but not the input port. The vacuum hose seemed to insert further into the Pro than the original. The end of hose vacuum fitting dust rings inside the inlet seemed deeper/further in on the Pro version. Maybe it is a result of the different colors and translucency.
    Also, is the metallic tape static dispensation strip on the Oneida the way it comes or is that a you-mod?

    • @JakeThompson

      The port on top is definitely bigger on the pro but the input ports are the same. The Oneida comes with the metallic tape to put on.

    Thanks for doing this comparison. I have the original model and it does a fine job, so I probably won't be upgrading unless something breaks. That said, I made a couple of enhancements which I'd like to recommend.
    First, I installed a dust capture bag in my (Ridgid) shop vac. This should keep most of the fine dust away from the filter. Next, I replaced the original shop vac filter with a HEPA model. Finally, I installed the (stock) foam outlet filter, mostly to keep the noise level down. All told, the unit is relatively quiet, draws well, and isn't acting as a "dust pump".

    I'm thinking it would be a little better test if you ran more debris with each unit and checked the CFM before and after cleaning. You did not check how much debris made it too the filter.
    Also a cool opportunity to run both Dust Stoppers in sequence and see how well they do in a with double the amount of dust/sawdust/floor sweepings.
    Is the Dustkeeper as efficient on a larger container like a 10 gallon poly ?
