FAQ (Continued)
Will the Dust Deputy cyclone work if my tool has its own fan
blower?
In most cases, yes - but the cyclone's efficiency will vary based on
whether your vacuum is also turned on.
The Dust Deputy cyclone needs a consistent airflow rate to "spin"
the dust out of the airstream; If your tool's fan blower is pushing air
in while your vacuum is also sucking air out, this can disrupt the
airflow rate and reduce the cyclone's separation performance.
In many cases, the fan blower on tools (such as planers) cannot be
turned off. If that is the case for you, try collecting your dust with
the vacuum turned off. In doing so you will be creating a positive
pressure system as the tool's fan blower pushes air through the Dust
Deputy cyclone. This method may not work with every vacuum.
What is the minimum air watts needed for the Dust Deputy?
Rather than worrying about what specs your vacuum needs (e.g. air
watts, cfm, static lift, etc.), we at Oneida Air Systems have a much
simpler approach - simply match the size of your vacuum's inlet to
the size of the Dust Deputy cyclone's ports.
The Dust Deputy cyclone's tapered 2" ports are designed to work
with any make and model wet/dry vacuum on the market today,
regardless of horsepower, wattage, etc. Most vacuums will have an
inlet ranging from 1.5" to 2.5" in diameter - perfect for our cyclone.
Keep in mind that every component installed onto your vacuum
will have an effect on the system's suction power. That includes
your hose, hose attachments, adapters, elbows, couplers, etc
