The Dust Deputy turns your tired old wet ‘n’ dry vacuum machine into an efficient, effective two-stage extraction system, minimising suction loss, reducing filter changes and improving workshop air quality.
Its cyclone technology works on a wide range of materials. Whether you are a woodworker, a DIYer, a bone or stone carver, or a teenager whose parents are coming home after a weekend away and you need to tidy up in a hurry, the Dust Deputy will speed up your cleanup.

How it Works
The dust-laden air passes through the Dust Deputy Cyclone, which separates out 99% of the dust. The cleaned air passes into your shop vacuum, while the dust falls into an accumulation bin with an open grid bottom.
A heavy (4 mil thick) plastic bag is held in place around the accumulation bin. When the vacuum is turned on, the bag is sucked up against the grid. When the vacuum is turned off, the bag drops back down and the collected dust falls from the accumulation bin into the bag. When the vacuum is turned on again, the previously bagged dust remains in the bag while newly captured dust collects in the accumulation bin.
This action can be repeated until the bag is two-thirds full, at which point the bag should be removed and replaced.
Cyclone Technology
The principle behind cyclone separation is straightforward. The air containing particles enters the cyclone chamber from the side which causes it to spin rapidly around inside the chamber. The dust particles are thrown against the inside wall of the chamber, where they drop out of the airflow and fall into the collection chamber beneath. A low pressure zone develops in the centre of the cyclone through which the clean air is able to exit. Cyclone separation typically removes 99% of particles, leaving the smallest 1% to be captured by filtration.
Universal Compatibility
Any wet ‘n’ dry vacuum that is rated at 50cfm or greater (for example, shopvacs) can be used with the Dust Deputy. Adaptors may be required to fit the vacuum’s ducting onto the 2” fitting on the cyclone.
Reduce filter changes
There are no filters inside the Dust Deputy – the dust is removed solely through cyclonic action. Only 1% of the material makes it through the cyclone to be caught in your vacuum’s filter, massively reducing the number of times you need to clean it out.
Reduce Suction Loss
A filter caked with dust will increase resistance to the airflow and can significantly reduce suction. The Dust Deputy removes the dust before it even gets to the vacuum. When your filter is not getting blocked up, the vacuum will continue to run at full air velocity for much longer.
