Empty the DC canister

[Randy Viellenave]

I was reading a post today where somebody mentioned the PITA it is to empty out the sawdust can. Of course I overfilled mine today, and I thought to share what I did to ease the pain a little. Basically, make an air hole in the bottom of the can. Put the bag over the whole thing, flip it over, open the air hole and gently remove the can from the bag. This helped make much less mess, as the sawdust is less disturbed while moving into the bag. I don't remember where the mondo nuts came from, but like most, is was made with materials on hand...

Great idea! I get the bag sealed around my bin sometimes and have to pull it loose to get the chips to drop into it. Thereby creating a mess. I don't know what "mondo" nuts are, but it appears you made the fittings out of random parts. Right?
