Oneida Air Systems Dust Deputy Deluxe Cyclone Separator Kit with Caster Mounts and Clear Collapse-Proof Bucket for Wet/Dry Shop Vacuums (DD Deluxe 5-Gal)

Oneida has a great product! But seems to have Quality Control issues. Receive the product, no damage at all to the packaging from UPS. Top side of the 10 gallon steel drum had a large dent in the side. The lid of the Steel drum were the round hole with bolt holes to mount the Cyclone, one of the holes looks like it was damaged, small amount of rust with tape over it???? I cleaned everything up, assembled the unit. This was all factory damaged, sent out this way to the customer. The Dust Deputy 2.5 Deluxe 10 Gallon Cyclone Separator does what is was designed to do. Works great, just not pleased with Oneida shipping a factory damaged product to its customers. New unit arrived today 9/15/2022, everything in working order, except 1 ea. C3 Whiz-Lock Nut (c3) as shown in Fig c3 of the manual is missing, used for mounting the gasket. I have emailed Oneida to see if I can get 1 C3 Whiz-Lock nut shipped to me, no point in returning the whole unit for 1 nut.

I have only had to clean out my shop vac one time in 18 months since purchasing this dust collector. I am using the same filter I installed the day hooked up the dust collector. Not only is this dust collector wonderful, but the company has awesome customer service. When it arrived, there was one plastic tab broken in transit. It was not a big deal but I called them and they asked for a picture and immediately sent a replacement lid free of charge. I use this dust collector every single day in my shop. The hose wore a hole in it after 18 months of constant use. I called them and they recommended an affordable upgrade hose that would hold up better to my level of use.

This is an amazing product for vacuuming dry stuff. It separates cyclonically and collects in the bucket. I just finished cutting sheet material from plywood. 8 sheets of plywood cut to make 30 drawers, on poplar runners and 3/4” carcas. Drawers are 4””-8” and cabinet is 6’x7’. From the cutting to size all of all of the 240 parts going into this project, I collected one 5 gallon bucket of sawdust to the top, and maybe a 5% filled dust bag in the shop vac. This is a huge money saver on dust bags for dry product waste.

great buy, did everything it was supposed to do.

Very nice product.
