V. Assembly Instructions for D.I.Y. Dust Deputy®
The Dust Deputy is made of static dissipating plastic*.
These are the minimum parts you will need to acquire to use the Dust Deputy:
- 2” - 2 1/4” dia. Vacuum Hose to go between the Dust Deputy outlet and
your Shop Vacuum.
- (6) 1/4” x 1” bolts with nuts and washers.
* - For added safety the D.I.Y. Dust Deputy can be grounded with copper wire. See Pg.9
- Any suitable sealant (e.g.- Silicone) to use between the cyclone base
flange and the top of your dust container. Any air leak between the
cyclone and lid will affect separation performance. You should also seal
the inlet and outlet hose connections.
- Vacuum Hose to attach to Dust Deputy inlet and your tools.
- Shop Vacuum
- Dust drum or container that will withstand the vacuum pressure (We
recommend at least a 90 mil side thickness otherwise the container may
collapse when in use.) and has a lid that can be tightly sealed. (e.g.- 5 gal.
plastic drywall bucket) Drum must be 100% air tight.
Any air leak in lid or drum will affect separation performance.
For wood dust use a smaller container (up to 10 gal.)
To reduce the chance of fire hazard, empty container after each use.

How to Make Template for Drum Lid and Assemble Dust Deputy®
Sealant
8. Lid must completely seal to drum. Gasket must
be used.
Any air leaks will affect performance.
9. Attach one hose from top cyclone outlet to shop
vacuum and the other hose from side cyclone inlet
to your tools or use hose by itself to pick up waste.
7. Put bolts through washer and cyclone base then
fasten with nuts under drum lid.
6. Spread even layer of sealant between center hole
and bolt holes on drum lid. (See above diagram.)
You
must have a complete seal between cyclone and
drum lid or performance will be affected.
5. Use 5/16” drill bit to drill bolt holes.
4. Draw 3” dia. circle for drum inlet. Carefully cut out
3” hole in lid.
3. Connect opposite bolt holes with lines as shown
above to find center.
2. With pen, trace around base and bolt holes.
1. Place cyclone base in center of drum lid.
