I just purchased a Festool CT26E vacuum cleaner after my Fein Dustex bit the dust. Pricy, but it has many features I like. That is not the issue here.
I spent some time thinking over how I could hook up the Dust Deputy. I have the original Deluxe version that comes with two buckets. I use one bucket as a bracket.
What Oneida have done is create an airtight box that fits like a sustainer onto the top of the machine - the Ultimate Dust Deputy. It is very expensive locally - $500. Others have attempted to build their own version by converting a sustainer. It is a lot of work to make it air tight, and I imagined how difficult it would be to empty each time.
I decided to go in a different direction. It occurred to me that I could use a Sustainer as a base for a bucket. That is, bolt a bucket to a narrow sustainer, which would fit to the top of the CT26E. I have one from a C12 drill/driver.
The hose connecting the inlet of the vac and the outlet of the DD is wire reinforced plastic/vinyl - just a 2" version of the hosing that is used for the dust extractor and machinery.
All of a sudden reading about static build up with the Dust Deputy, and that it can fry motors and circuit boards. I have used the DD for a number of years and never experienced static shocks. How would I know this is occurring? The Fein requires a new circuit board - could this have been due to static electricity? There was no warning.
How big an issue is this, and what can be done with the original system to ensure all is safe?
