Overview

Separate large wood chips out of your system before they reach your dust collector. One pair of plastic elbow and coupler components serve as infeed and outfeed points when you install them on either end of a box, bin or other fixture you wish to use to catch large wood chips. This system will save wear and tear on your dust collector, and you won't have to empty it as often. The two coupler components fit standard 4" dust hose as well as the Dust Right® Handle system (sold separately).

What's included

(2) Plastic Elbows
(2) Straight Couplers
(2) Circle Templates (for cutting holes)

I have a 4 inch dust collector that keeps clogging up.
David L on Sep 14, 2017
Seems like the right fit for my small shop, the free plan is a nice touch and the price is right. Plus it had great reviews all around, nothing really negative so it was worth to try them out.

Where can i purchase the round cardbrd container you preview in your dust collection ad ?
Robert O on Sep 17, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I use a 13 gal, 1 HP portable dust collector and a 55 gal plastic drum that I got from the local car wash, had to cut the plastic top off and replace it with a plywood top and put sealant around it to seal it properly. I have used this for about a year now with no problems except the wait time for the sealant to set. Also had to cut a sight window in the drum to check the fullness of the drum. I used the 4 inch connectors, works great on my planer, I also have the small tool hose kit to use with my sanders.
Will these fit on the 4" dust right separator? I want to eliminate any stress on the hose.

Will a plastic trash can with a tight fitting lid work as a separator for chips?
Cheryl D on Oct 26, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I would use steel. Plastic can collapse.
I just installed these per the instructions but still over 90% of my dust still goes into my dust collector. What am I doing wrong??
Craig R on Dec 30, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Well Craig, thank you for asking and I will try to explain what I did to get mine to work best for me. I did a trial and error type fix, I turned each elbow towards the outside edge of barrel just slightly and then tried it and then readjusted and tired again until 90% was falling into bottom of barrel, I also read online this trick which I did and works well. I cut a circle out 3/4" plywood almost to the exact size of the inside diameter of my barrel and then divide that circle into 3rds and 2/3's of that circle 1" in and 2/3 the way around the circle I cut 1 " of material out. bought 3 bolts, washers and nuts and cut 3 pieces of pcv and slid the bolts thru the lid and then slid on the pvc spacers and then slid them thru the plywood and attached the nuts. I wanted to send a picture but could not. hope you understand all this.
Does the debris container need to be as air tight as possible in order for the suction to be effective?
Courtney W on Sep 24, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Yes as air tight as possible, any air leak means less suction at the hose. The one I have works very well. Hope this helps.
Where flexible hoses are attached to the outside of the box Item #: 34367?
jorge humberto s on Mar 30, 2016
BEST ANSWER: If you refer to the free plans directions are included. Draw your pattern for the hose usong your own supplied fitting. If you use the lid with the large can idea then trace the line for the output in the same manner. Many combinations of hose are possible so the hole size is determined by you. Hope this helps. Mine works great attached to a 4 inch system i have also used my 2 and 1/4 vac with it with smaller fittings.
Would this work with 6" hoses, couplerscouplers, etc?
Toby H on Mar 21, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Really don't they would as well, you would have to put 4 to 6 inch reduces on them. Think it would reduce their affective Ness of the application
Will this work with a standard 5hp shop vac with 2/1/4 hose till i get a real dust collector?
Chris on Jun 8, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Hi Chris, I don't see any reason for it not to work, however it was made to be used with 4 inch hoses, so you might have a hard time finding the right adaptors, from your 2 1/4 hose, to 4 inch, specially since those adaptors are funny, in terms measurements are sometimes internal, sometimes external, a perfect adaptor for a hose, does not always work with another conector, of course you can always fix it with duct tape, now my advice would be, buy a Oneida dust deputy for your shop vac, it works great, and you will want to keep it in your vac even after you get your dust collector, it's kind of expensive, but saves you tons in vac filters, and work, and use this product once you buy your dust collector.

I am using a 55 gallon barrel and it is collapsing. What am I doing wrong?
Brian B on Jan 27, 2017
BEST ANSWER: The tube to the machine must be blocked causing a vaccum causing barrel to collopse
I am using a 55 gallon barrel and it is collapsing. What am I doing wrong?
Brian B on Jan 27, 2017
BEST ANSWER: this is designed to use a 30 gal cardboard barrel and mine works as advertised. If your barrel is collapsing that would suggest that you have a constriction on the inlet side. If you have a powerful dust collector and it is pulling more air out of the barrel than is coming in, I can see a plastic barrel collapsing. That suggests your inlet is too small (or a kinked hose, or something to restrict the air) and the barrel is too weak.
Can this be converted to 6" inlet and outlet?
Steve F on May 24, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Yes, with an adapter, but I don't think it would be very effective. It would be easier to build a can with 6" fittings.
What effect does this have on CFM ? If the Dust Collect side produces 500 CFM how much vacuum loss is expected on the separator input side to the tool ?
Spike E on May 25, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Zero or very small loss. In the long run it probably helps because you end up with less stuff in the bag so there is more bag area open to allow air flow. I only have a 1/2 HP system and it works great.
What dust right connectors will I need to make 90 degree bends out of the top?
Tomas F on Feb 12, 2017
BEST ANSWER: You can use a 4 inch coupler to 4 inch elbow or a small section of 4inch plastic hose with hose clamps.

This product easily turns your one...
This product easily turns your one stage vac to a two stage vac. The only modification that I would make is have the top of the intake vent turned at a 90 degree angle so your hose will not have that bend out the top. Less torque on your hose. You could also add a swivel piece to again reduce twisting torque on your hose as you use it.

I used the biggest wheeled square...
I used the biggest wheeled square trash can Wal-Mart sells, and this set up works great! the chips from my lathes seperate fine, and my dusk collector is only collecting the finest dust. My only regret is finding the stickers AFTER I had cut the holes in the lid. Bet that makes the whole process much easier...

excellent way to separate chips from dust
I read many articles on dust collection before I decided what to do. When I bought my dust collector I ordered the Rockler Dust Separator components. I had the DC system operating before I assembled a separator. I noticed that the DC would pick up big chips that sometimes clogged the DC inlet. This means having to stop the DC and clear the chips.

I searched for a better container than the fiber board barrel and came away with nothing so I bought the recommended barrel. I then assembled the components following the Rockler instructions. It was easy and works well. I think I may have lost a little suction but the DC now only gets fine dust and everything else ends up in the barrel which is easy to open and empty (and occasionally pick out things I didn't want picked up).

The only thing I did different from the Rockler instructions was to spray truck bed liner on the inside of the barrel. I had no previous experience with these barrels and wanted to minimize any erosion and noise. I am not sure that was worth it but it doesn't hurt.

The components are well made, sturdy and fit really well. I recommend these to anyone who wants to build an easy separator.

Works Great!
I have a very small shop so I made a Thien baffle for a 20 gallon trash can. It wasn't very efficient with the smaller can so I decided to order this basic cyclone. I am super impressed. I haven't had any chips go past it yet and very little dust has made it to the bag. I would highly recommend it. My only improvement suggestion would be that they have 90 degree elbows to make it easier to connect the hoses with no stress.

The best thing you can get for your dust collector
Works great on a large fiber drum. Almost all of the shavings stay in the drum (as long as the drum is not too full -- but emptying the drum is much easier than emptying the dust collector bag). If the top vents were 90 deg elbows (to eliminate hose pulling on the vents when using a large drum), this would be perfect -- still a 5 start product.

Perfect Solutions!
This additions as been in my shop for nearly 3 years and I have yet to have to empty my plastic bag on the HF Dust Collector with the Wynn 35A Filter. I use a 30 gallon plastic drum that I picked up at a local car-wash and after cutting out the top of the drum I cut a 1/2 in plywood to fit in the top. I was planning on having to put some door foam around the edge for a seal but the top fit so snuggly that it has not been needed. I've probably dumped the drum a few dozen times and only have about a foot of dust in the bottom of the plastic bag. I've cleaned the inside of the filter a few times but it never really needed it. Dumping the drum is simple as there is no permanent or even temporary clamping. Just lift the insert and dump.

Works Great..
I made a top for a 55 gallon drum (out of plywood) and mounted the elbows in it. It works great ! It has much more capacity than the 30 gallon metal trashcan I was using before. I cut the plywood top 2" bigger than the 55 gallon drum and used a router to put a groove in the top to fit over the rim. I lined the groove with stick-on foam for a door seal. That forms a perfect seal between the top and the drum rim when the dust collector is turned on.

I used these on a 32 gallon square garbage can. The installation was a breeze, especially with the templates provided. I have a jet 1100 cfm single stage collector with the canister filter. The large chips that normally end up in the bag are now in the can ready to mulch around the garden. Don't worry about getting a great seal. With the plastic can and this type of collector, the lid is sucked down to the garbage can, so any additional sealing is not necessary. Great product, would highly recommend.

I put my separator together this afternoon using a 40gal fiber drum I got for $11.00 from a shipping supplies recycler. This product works great. The only problem is the supplied instruction sheet shows the airflow coming out of both fittings but since I didn't need to read the instructions I didn't pay attention to the drawing until after I completed the assembly. A 5 star product.

These ports are the perfect in...
These ports are the perfect in and out for dust collection. Cut hole with jigsaw in flat surface container of any material and screw these in. Much better seal than the jury-rigged setup I had. Only problem you'll have is finding a trash can with enough flat surface on the lid to mount both ports. on 5/14/2012Have two sets of these, garage for jointer and planer, in the shop for everything else. Excellent and simple to install with jig saw. Traced the threaded part to size the opening on the lid and added a bit of tub seal to stop all leaks. Started with trash cans, but they leak suction and can't really be sealed. Ordered 2 30 gal fiber drums and the suction more than doubled. Drums come with plastic liner, which got sucked into exhaust port so don't use it. Hint, I added a right angle quick connect item 34432 to the intake port and added a swivel then crossed the quick connect back over the top to stabilize the whole rig when I drag the long 4 in hose from machine to machine in my smallish shop. A 30 gallon drum is good for a small shop, but they also have up to 55 gallon for a larger shop. These separator parts make dust collection much easier and more effective.
