It was just a matter of time...........

I knew this would happen and I'm sure Oneida is not happy. This looks like a good price and probably is pretty good quality. China is eating our lunch.

Just remember... You get what you pay for. It's only $10 cheaper than Onieda so check the specs to see which is the better deal. Also, Dewalt makes one that sells for $42 that may be made in China.

I've not seen the Dewalt version. I personally bought the Dust Deputy and it came with 2 5 gallon buckets and a set of wheels that I've yet to use. I only used the one bucket but when I bought the Dustopper from H/D I used the second bucket for it. I've got way too many vacuums in my shop but they all have their purpose.

I have a Harbor Freight close by. I will have to ck that out. Thanks for the info. Just right for my small shop and budget.

I have the Dust Deputy and love it! I have it hooked up to my Random orbital sander and shop vac only. I only have to clean the filter on the shop vac once a year weather it needs it or not!

Never too much dust collection.

I have the dust deputy for the shopvac and a super dust deputy for my dust collector. I am happy with both. I also have the trash can lid separator for my planer hook to the dust collector because it fills up fast when planing.

I also had the dust Deputy and the HD version. Although they worked I gave them away. In my very small shop they violated too much floor space.

I guess I am slacking. I let the dust go everywhere. while it does get over all the tools, a benefit is that the shop floor is getting a nice soft flooring which makes it easier on my feet, so I got that going for me.

And your lungs are doing the same.

That is why I wear a respirator when sanding.

And all the other dust producing opps? I have dust collection, an air cleaner and I still wear a mask. And you should see the filters on the outside. They still collect dust from the air. Scrolling is almost as bad as sanding. Maybe worse. Very fine dust. And we all cut toxic woods.

I went the route of a 20 inch box fan and HVAC filter placed as close as possible to the saw - was AMAZED at how much and how fine the sawdust was that it collects.  Reminds me of flour.  I also periodically vacuum the buildup of sawdust that falls to the table and floor.
