Dust collection should be one of the first considerations when you get started in woodworking. Whether you’ve got a big shop or a small shop, chances are you’ve got a shop vacuum. So in today’s Rockler demonstration you'll see many of the best products you can use to get the most out of your shop vacuum.






Shop Vacuum Accessories Featured in this Demo Video:



cord and hose holder

Clamp the Dust Right Cord and Hose Holder to any work surface up to 3-5/8'' thick, connect your dust hoses to the fitting and snap your cord into the hook—the holder keeps everything neatly elevated and out of the way. Everyone will be happy—you won't get tripped, and your cords won't get stepped on. We've made sure that both ends will accept the most common and popular hose diameters.



dust right dust separator

The Dust Right Dust Separator turns any shop vacuum with a 2-1/4'' ID outlet into a 2-stage dust and chip separator. When used with most power tools and shop vacuums, the Dust Right® Separator captures sawdust, wood chips, and other debris before it enters your vacuum, preventing the loss of suction power caused by a clogged vacuum filter. The five-caster base makes it exceptionally stable and easy to maneuver around the shop. Plus, hoses connect inside the in/out ports, preventing unintentional disconnections. The Dust Right® Separator creates a cyclonic air flow that causes most wood dust particles and other materials that are heavier than air to separate, preventing them from being passed to the vacuum. The vortex effect that is created prevents the loss of suction caused by prematurely clogged filters. For use with shop vacs that are 4HP or more.



vacuum harness

The Dust Right Vacuum Harness straps your shop vacuum and Dust Right Dust Separator together so you can roll them around without tipping, tangling or dislodging hoses.Once secured together, you can roll the entire vac/separator combo around with far less chance of tipping, catching on obstacles, or tangling or detaching the various hoses.



flexiport hose kits

Handheld power tools generate a lot of dust right where you least want it: directly under your nose. Unfortunately, the confusing array of non-standardized dust ports on handheld tools makes it hard to connect a dust hose—until now. The 3' to 12' Expandable Hose Kit and 12' FIxed-Length Hose Kit both feature multiple tool ports that flex to fit securely onto the tool, while the 2-1/4'' port connects to most shop vacuums.

dust collection tubes and fittings

Design a custom multi-tool dust collection system for your shop vacuum. Our 2-1/2'' Dust Collection Starter Kit includes Y-fittings, elbows and gates. Enhance your system with other 2-1/2" accessories including plastic hangers, fittings, couplings, and clear piping (each sold separately). It's best to keep the runs as short as you can and use smooth pipe as much as you can. Smooth pipe will keep the static pressure up better than ribbed hoses.
