Dust Deputy

[phil p]

Hi,

I'm sure a few members already own one of these, however I'm after some advice regarding the inlet/outlets.
es?
Basically the sizes, and finding some sort of PVC fittings and pipe to suit as I'm thinking of trying to make some sort of cart for it.

Tried to with some normal 2 inch rainwater elbows, pipe etc but they don't fit, and even went to Axminster and they had nothing there that fitted.

Any ideas what I could use as I'm not sure whether these ports are an American sizes?

Plenty of videos on Youtube, however they are nearly all from the U.S. therefore any help or advice would be appreciated, especially around the sizes that can be sourced here.

Thanks
Phil

What size is your vac hose?

I went to b&q and bought a bunch of waste fittings to hook up my 32mm ish vac. Let me know if you want details on the parts I used

The festool elbows fitted straight in my dust deputy clone (dust mite) no fettling required

Mark, did you notice any loss of auction with the right angled elbows. Your solution looks much neater than mine!

Not that I noticed
Here's my full solution
(price of the cyclone has dropped since i bought mine)

what size is your vacuum piping?

I have a DD clone and its 50mm outside diameter. i fitted it into my axminster 63mm piping by just wrapping 2" pvc tape around the inlet until the pipe was a push fit. works perfectly.

I bought the Rutlands set:

I did just notice that their 2.5" hose is on offer with 3m for £16.

Although my set up doesn't really move so not sure what's appropriate. My hose to my vac is smaller than the 50mm so I made a MDF reduction bung.
