I love my Fein T3 vac but hate cleaning its filter. After reading about the Dustopper I decided to give it a try. I really like the compact design over the tall and tippy mini cyclones.
I have been using the Dustopper for a few weeks now and it does a very good job of catching almost all of the dust & chips. Very little has made its way into my T3. My only complaint was moving the T3 and Dustopper around the shop. I decided to make a compact cart where both could live under the router wing of my table saw. The bucket lifts easily out of the carts holder rings for emptying and is rock solid in use.
Other than buying an additional male/female elbow every thing else was made from materials I had on hand. I reused the T3’s small casters.
