Floor Vacuum Attachment for a Dust Collector![]() ![]() Question
Forum Responses
From contributor U: After using such a setup I found the 2" length of hose that was needed was too cumbersome and hard to store. I also had to put new outlets around my previous shop to accommodate tying in to my dust collector. Then I always was having to get special connectors to hook the 2" hose with the larger collector lines. I finally quit this system and bought 2 shop vacs that are just used for cleanup. I like it much better and can use the vacs for special tool setups to catch the dust when using my main system is not practical. I also use my sawdust in my garden as mulch so I don't want the contaminates coming off my floor going into the bags. Get the floor sweep attachment and use it with a shop vac. From Contributor G: To avoid the screws and chunks sucked up into the blowers I use the cyclone lids for garbage cans found in many woodworking stores. If it is coming directly off of a machine it can go through the dust collector, but if cleaning up around the shop I make sure the hose is routed through the cyclone lid. The heavier items settle to the bottom and the lighter dust and air goes to the collector. From contributor D: I use one from Woodtek that's modified with a magnetic pick-up bolted to the front.
