The problem:
Going broke buying shop vac filters? Filters are expensive and when they’re clogged, performance drops dramatically.
Not only that, a whole bunch of dust sneaks past the filter and blows out the vacuum exhaust, all over your work area. It’s unhealthy and messy.
What could be done that wouldn’t suck up valuable floor space?
The solution:
Adding a dust and debris separator filters out dust before it can reach the shop vac, resulting in clean filters and top suction performance. It’s like upgrading to a more powerful vacuum without buying a new one.
This dust collection cart only occupies the same space as your original shop vac, and it adds a whole bunch of new features that will make you wonder how you ever got along with a plain old wet dry vac!

Resources for The Ultimate Shop Vac Dust Collector Cart
These are the tools and supplies I used to build the Hot Rod Shop Vac separator cart. Alternative and optional tools are listed below in addition to the main components. You do not need all of them, so feel free to substitute or use what you have available.
Dust Deputy Cyclone Separator
From Amazon
I prefer this kit because the elbows in the DD Plus version are restrictive, in my opinion.
i-Socket automatic switch for vacuums and tools
I don’t know how I ever got by without this switch!
Pool Filter Skimmer Socks
From Amazon
Keep your filters clean!
2-1/2″ flexible PVC Dust Collection Hose
From Amazon
Just about any flexible 2-1/2″ hose will work
Skil 5″ Orbital Sander
Any sander you have will work fine since there isn’t a lot of sanding, but this is great sander if you need one
Bosch 7.0 Amp 120V Variable Speed Jigsaw

Great corded Jigsaw. This is the one I used in the video. Expensive, but is powerful!
Black+Decker Jig Saw, 4.5 Amp
From Amazon
A less expensive jigsaw as an option
Kobalt 24-Volt Max 1/2-in Cordless Drill
From Amazon
Drill, battery and charger

I use a 25 ft. tape, but whatever you have is fine.
Delta ShopMaster 10″ Compound Sliding Miter Saw with Laser
From Amazon
Alternative to hand saw or miter box
