Does it accomodate efficient dust collection if hooked up to a cyclone or a seperator?

It actually comes with a dust collector which is sized to suit regular shop vac and also a larger diameter which must be a commercial dust extraction size. It works well hooked up to a shop vac and catches all the chips

I have it connected to a shopvac with a cyclonic separator .. It works much more efficient than my old delta planer with the same vac set up

I have it hooked up to a 2hp dust collector and cyclone. The planer is the first drop off of a 25' run. The dust collecton is pretty good, about as good as can be expected. I've had a few other planers and they've all had similar results.

I think it does, the filters are always full when it's time for them to be changed. I would say yes, it is effective at removing dust.

I have the miter saw hooked to my shop dust collection system via some adapters I had to make so that the 39mm saw exhaust opening could connect to a 2" hose. It works better when hooked to the air system. There is still some stray sawdust that accumulates behind the saw so it isn't perfect by any means.

If there is suction loss, it is minimal. I'm impresses with the way it retains 98% of the debris in the Dust Deputy.

Bill,I haven't used the dust collector much since I bought it and don't yet have any experience with a 1-1/2" hose. I have however used it with my radial arm saw. I have a collection hood behind the blade connected with a 4" pipe. Very little blow by, great suction. As I said, my experience with the machine is limited at this time, but what experience I have is really good. I'm excited to use it more.

I have not read the reviews, but I suspect they refer to the air propelled out the end opposite the vacuum. I purchased this vacuum, because of the blower feature. I just put the hose on the exhaust end, and blow the bugs off the porch. I also use it to blow dust off the blinds. If you are vacuuming, it will blow some dust around behind you. I think I might put a sock over the exhaust with a rubber band.

James, it blows more like the exhaust outlet, not the suction outlet on a small hand held vaccum cleaner.Dennis

I use a Festool vac and leave the bag and the extra filter in because the dust deputy does not catch everything. Doesn't really seem to impact the performance at all.

It will suck-up about half of the dust when used on drywall joints. Better than nothing but a shop vac attachment would do better.

It only comes with two attachments, one is a smaller more narrow header that helps in getting into cracks, and one is the pet hair remover. I'm sure it will help remove dust from some things but you would need a duster to really help.

Not really better than other routers unless you want to spend lots of time in the setup. I own, Craftsman, Porter Cable and Bosch. I never consider dust collection when buying a router. If I have to really collect the dust, I have an assistant hold a high CFM vacuum hose near the router. I generally work in a standalone garage/workshop and use an industrial vac to pick up the dust and chips. Then I use an air cannon to blow stuff out of the workshop.

I haven't used it with a vacuum yet, but with the way the saw is set up, it is almost a necessity. The dust collection bag is worthless. It fills up fast, and if you don't empty it the sawdust dumps right back into the saw (making a mess). I have a flex hose attached, and will be trying out a shop-vac in the near future.

Turbine spins very fast, I hope people don't try to block it as it keeps things within operating temps. Duster already gets quite warm with extended use.Also as of note the fine tool attachment adapter has a 'blow hole'. I wanted to block it at first, but it regulates the pressure out of the tiny nozzle so it doesn't get overloaded. Don't try to block that either, it blows plenty strong without covering it up.

I have mine on a Harbor Freight dust collector, I can't say that I notice a reduction in air flow. Even if I did I think the reduction of particles in the air and my lungs would be worth a slight drop in performance...

It works with a compressed air hose to operate. It comes with fittings to also attach a vacuum hose to collect the dust

I also have a small shop. I have been using this unit as dust collection with no problems with leakage.

Yes, I don't use the dust port on the Incra fence at all, the clean sweep rings work great for dust collection.
