Hello, It may look similar to the DeWalt that you mentioned, but ours is packed with features that sets it far apart. This isn't a regular ol' clean up the floor vacuum. It's a dust extractor designed for woodworkers, by woodworkers. One of the biggest features that sets it apart, other than ours running at only 65dB at peak, is the 110V socket on the front for power tool activation. So, when you turn on your sander or whatever other tool you plug in, the extractor turns on too. It also runs for 5 seconds after you turn your tool off to clear the lines as well. Another defining feature is our innovative filter pulse cleaning system that creates an internal vacuum and rapidly releases pressure to effectively dislodge particles and dust from the HEPA filter (their filter is not a HEPA filter) without having to remove the lid or cartridge. Ours also has: - An indicator light that signals when the dust tank is full, or the filter is clogged and needs the pulse cleaning - It was designed to manage heat efficiently, allowing it to operate for extended periods without the typical overheating issues associated with traditional shop vacs - Oversized 3'' casters for easy travel over rough surfaces - 20ft power cord vs their 10ft - 12ft hose vs their 7ft This isn't an ordinary shop vacuum, it's a uniquely designed Rockler Dust Right line Dust Extractor made for woodworkers. Thanks
Pardon my ignorance if my questions seem remedial. I can agree that this will work well for one tool. But for dust extraction from the other tools, is it necessary to unhook the hose and attach it to the new tool? Providing an extractor for each tool would be cost prohibitive. Moving it each time I move to the planer to the joiner to the tablesaw to the…would waste time and he very inconvenient Secondly, would this dust extraction tool require frequent filter cleaning and/or replacement? Do you have a solution for the issues? Or are they not issues at all?
A Dust Extractor like this is really intended for smaller and or hand held tools, like sanders and circular saws. Yes, you would attach it to each new tool being used. You can plumb lines for more permanent connections to tools and use blast gates to cut off each branch for better performance. This is common with Miter Saw Stations and Spindle & Belt Sanders. However, for jointers, planers, and other larger stationary tools, it would be better to use a higher CFM Dust Collector. They generally have 4" hoses and are High Volume Low Pressure machines. This extractor is a High Pressure Low Volume machine, similar to Shop Vacuums. At 2:05 in the video it goes over clean up. Hope this helps, thanks!
Yes you can! It works great with our Dust Right Dust Separator. You can even get it with our Vacuum Harness and connect the separator to the vacuum so they can roll together. This also prevents the separator from tipping over. Here's the link if you'd like to check it out. - www.rockler.com/dust-right-dust-separator-with-vacuum-harness - Thanks!
No, it isn't needed. However, a cyclone separator improves almost any dust extraction setup. We do offer a 10gallon cyclone separator. Here is the link to it - www.rockler.com/dust-right-dust-separator - Thanks!
It's the Dewalt Stealth Sonic with rebranding and some extra features. Literally. Not a bad thing as it is a good vac. I have 3 dewalt stealth sonics. But I'd price the accessories that can make the dewalt match this version before you drop your cash.

Is 85cfm enough for extraction when running with a separator? I see most other dust vacs are around 140-185. I’m new and still studying dust extraction before making a purchase
Yes, it is, and it works great with our Dust Right Separator. We even have a bundle with a harness to connect the vacuum to the separator, so that they move together and the separator won't tip over. Here is some info to help you out with your decision and to learn more from: Dust Extractors are typically LVHP (low volume, high pressure) systems and are usually designed to be portable. They are better suited for individual tools, such as hand-held power tools, and offer higher suction with lower volume. However, when this type of system is connected to hoses and ports larger than 2-1/2" (like 4" dust collector hoses), the volume at the intake can exceed the pressure capabilities and the system can become inefficient. Dust collectors (different from extractors) are typically HVLP systems. HVLP stands for "high volume, low pressure" and can be around 650cfm to 1250cfm and even higher. Dust collectors are used to maintain clean air and filter dust from an entire facility, such as a shop full of stationary tools. There are some mobile dust collectors, but they are generally stationary and require a central system for hoses and pipes, blast gates, and typically use 4" hoses and up. However, because this system is HVLP, when a line is reduced down to smaller hoses, like 2-1/2" shop vac hoses, there isn't enough pressure to move air, dust, and larger debris through the smaller entry point of the hose, and the system becomes very inefficient. So getting the correct unit for the desired use is important. For a table saw or a jointer, you'd want a dust collector. For a sander or a track saw, you'd want a dust extractor. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and reading our TED Talk. 😅
This helps a ton thank you. I building a portable bench with miter saw, small band saw, drill press, jobsite table saw and a planer. I think my best bet would be this new dust extractor with the separator kit. Thank you for your explanation
How does this differentiate from a Rigid vacuum with a heap filter and paper bag? My Craftsman 8.5A 16 gallon seems way quieter. I think every shop vac should have a power tool feature. If you use a bag and change it often, you should not have to use the filter cleaning button. Also, pulsing it will not work that well unless you reverse air flow. It's just a gimmick.$299 is hard to justify when you can get the same, possibly better, performance from any good shop vac.
Hello, This isn't a regular ol' clean up the floor vacuum, it’s packed with features that sets it far apart. This is a dust extractor designed for woodworkers, by woodworkers. We aren't sure what decibel your vacuum runs at, but ours runs at or lower than 65 dB, that is similar to conversations in a busy restaurant. The pulse cleaning feature generates a vacuum and rapidly releases pressure to effectively dislodge particles from the filter. Another feature setting this apart from standard shop vacuums is that is can be tool activated with a 110V socket on the front of it, like you said you think all shop vacs should have, but don't. Our Dust Extractor runs for 5 seconds after you turn your tool off to clear the lines as well. Some more defining features are: -An indicator light that signals when the dust tank is full, or the filter is clogged and needs the pulse cleaning -Oversized 3'' casters for easy travel over rough surfaces -20ft power cord (most shop vacuums this size have a 10ft cord) -12ft hose (Most shop vacuums this size come with a 7ft) This isn't an ordinary shop vacuum, it's a uniquely designed Dust Right line Dust Extractor made for woodworkers. 🙌
For $100 or $119 more, you can get a fein turbo I HEPA or festool CT 15. Both have additional features that put this rockler to shame. The rockler is a nice vac, but really it's just one of the off the shelf quiet vacs with a HEPA filter added. Like the dewalt stealthsonic with HEPA filter added.
Exactly, you'd have to pay a lot more for something with similar features. Ours is very different than an off the shelf quiet vac with a HEPA filter added. Ours has: - 110V socket on the front for power tool activation, so when you turn on your sander or whatever other tool you plug in, the extractor turns on too. It also runs for 5 seconds after you turn your tool off to clear the lines as well - Our innovative filter pulse cleaning system that creates an internal vacuum and rapidly releases pressure to effectively dislodge particles and dust from the HEPA filter without having to remove the lid or cartridge - An indicator light that signals when the dust tank is full, or the filter is clogged and needs the pulse cleaning - It was designed to manage heat efficiently, allowing it to operate for extended periods without the typical overheating issues associated with traditional shop vacs - Oversized 3'' casters for easy travel over rough surfaces - 20ft power cord vs their 10ft - 12ft hose vs their 7ft - Includes a HEPA filter and filter bag So, it's not exactly the same thing at all. You may be judging a book by it's cover here.
@@rockler Not a lot more in all honesty; that extra $100 gets you a lot more features from the festool or fein vacs. You vac is very nicely designed, I just think it's priced too close to your competition. What is the warranty on your vac?
Most shop vacuums have around 100CFM or more. This is a Dust Extractor though and it is 85 CFM, which is much better suited for fine sanding dust and other hand held power tools. Even though you can roll it out and clean your car, or vacuum up dirt, debris, or liquid spills with it, the core of the design is with woodworkers in mind, and the CFM was suited for that first. 🙌
Commendable, but this should be a $200 vac, not $300. For $119 more than this you can get a festool CT15. HEPA rated, variable suction power, stronger motor, longer anti-static hose, 3 year warranty (warranty on the rockler vac?). This isn't a whole lot different than one of the off the shelf quiet vacs with a HEPA filter added.
@@SamWanamaker1 Because like I said, it's not so much as a dust extractor as it is a quiet shop vac with HEPA filter. You can get the same performance for less money by getting one of dewalt's quiet vacs and adding a HEPA filter for under $200 total. This is too close in price to a fein or festool vac without the performance of either.
