Separate large wood chips out of your system before they reach your dust collector. Two
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 (22643, sold separately).

Installed these on a 55 gallon metal drum with tight fitting lid with closing band. I've emptied the drum three times and still have no appreciable dust in the plastic bag on my Jet DC1100C. Amazingly efficient product, it paid for itself the first time I didn't have to empty the dust bag. I've used other cyclones on smaller cans and wholeheartedly recommend using the largest vertical wall drum you can. Tapered trash cans are not nearly as efficient at letting material drop out of the vortex.

I used to have one of those plastic garbage can lids with the 2 holes in it attached to my Jet DC1100A dust collector with added filter canister, and it held some of the chips, but not many. And if left to run without pulling dust, the collector eventually pulled everything out of the can. Then I added this system to a 30 gal fiber drum and it held almost all of the shavings that came from jointing/planing a few boards. Only the dust went into the collector bag. What a huge difference! The 4.5" hole recommended seemed a little large, so I traced the outside of a piece of the 4" PVC sewer pipe I used to put my dust collection system together, and cut just outside the line with a jig saw. It made for a perfect fit. I highly recommend adding this system to your dust collector. It's much easier to empty than the dust collector bag.

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 bought this to make a chip separator for my portable Delta dust collector. I used a heavy duty, 10 gal. plastic garbage can and made a circular top top from 3/4 in. MDF. It rides on the cart supporting the dust collector and works very well, even though it was designed for a larger can.

What a concept: not having to empty a dust collector bag every week! This works great.
I cheated/improvised a little with cutting the holes in the lid of a 50-gallon fiber drum. The sound of a metal-cutting blade in my scroll saw cutting through the metal lid really sets my nerves on edge-even with hearing protection.
S-o-o-o-o, I traced the outline of the 4-inch hole and then drilled closely-spaced holes all along the circumference. After that, using a tin snip made it an snap no pun intended to cut out the hole. Perhaps not the most efficient way to cut out the openings but it's a lot easier on my nerves.
Thanks, Rockler, for offering a really great product!

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.

I purchased this to have a chip separator next to my wood lathe. I was having trouble with the chips from the lathe clogging the piping to my dust collector which is at the other end of the shop. I just took a piece of 3/4" particle board, cut two holes in it, cut it round to fit a 20 gallon metal trash can, screwed the fittings into it and I had a chip separator next to the lathe. Works as advertised and is much easier to empty than the bag on the dust collector. I might even buy another set to have a chip separator next to my planer.
