My Growth Rings with Scott Markwood
SHOP NOTES: This video is by no means an exhaustive review of either of these separators but is a real shop experience with both the American-made Dustopper™ and the Bauer™ 2052-BDS Cyclone Dust Separator Kit from Harbor Freight. I look forward to your Questions, Comments, and Cheap shots and we'll address them in the mid-week follow-up video.

Dustopper™ High-Efficiency Dust Separator: https://amzn.to/3EwIA6G The Bauer™ appears to be "inspired" by the popular American-made Dust Deputy™ Anti-Static Cyclone Separator from Oneida™. Here's that separator on Amazon for comparison: https://amzn.to/3kl99DE Here's an Amazon search for shop vacuum-powered separator options: https://amzn.to/3zopk7u This is the remote switch I use to control my shop vacuum: https://amzn.to/3kA4IUtHere's the link to Phil Thien's discussion group where you'll find lots of information on his creation: http://www.jpthien.com/smf/
According to their site, the Dustopper makes tackling the messiest jobs a breeze while also keeping your wet/dry vacuum free of dust and debris. Dustopper’s specially designed chamber snaps onto any standard 5-Gal. bucket and collects more than 99% of dust and debris before it reaches your vacuum. This keeps your filter clean and prevents the suction loss commonly caused by a clogged filter; now you can spend less time cleaning out your vacuum and filter and more time doing the work you love. With its low-profile design, the Dustopper makes efficient use of space, making it ideal for any job site, workshop, or wherever you may need it. It’s easy to set up and can be ready to go in under a minute, straight out of the box. No holes to drill, no screws to tighten and no sealants to apply. Simply remove Dustopper from its box, place it on a standard 5-Gal. bucket, and connect it to your shop vacuum with the hose and elbow provided. Disposal is as easy as lifting the Dustopper from its bucket and carrying the collected debris away. Hose Length (ft.): 36 in Interior Hose Diameter (In.): 2-1/2 in Product Height (in.): 4 in Product Width (in.): 12
According to Harbor Freight's listing, the BAUER™ Cyclone Dust Separator Kit for 5 Gallon Buckets attaches to your shop vac to separate heavier debris and particles before they can clog your vacuum's filter. The BAUER™ dust separator uses the same cyclone technology as industrial dust collectors and high-end vacuum cleaners to improve vacuum efficiency, prevent clogging, extend filter life.
Eliminates suction-robbing clogs by separating 99% of dust and debris
Increases the lifespan of vacuum filters
Compatible with most wet/dry vacuum hoses
