Woodsmith Small Shop Dust Collector Standard Plan & Premium Shop Drawings
A shop vacuum is great for collecting dust and chips in a small shop. But there are a couple of problems with it. The filter quickly clogs with dust, which reduces suction. And the limited capacity of many vacuums means you need to empty them frequently. This system solves both issues. A commercial cyclone unit diverts most of the debris into a large hopper. This empties into a standard yard waste bag for easy disposal. With a compact footprint and low-cost materials, this is a great upgrade for any shop.
You can purchase the Woodsmith Small Shop Dust Collector standard plan or the supplemental premium shop drawings as a downloadable PDF or in a printed format that we ship to you. We highly recommend purchasing both the standard plan and the supplemental premium shop drawings for more in-depth instructions and greater detail.
Simple upgrades turn your shop vacuum into an efficient dust-collection system.
Step-by-step instructions, exploded views, materials list, and more—these plans have everything you need to build your own Small Shop Dust Collector.
