Infinity Tools DIY Dust Separator – Premium Dust Collection at DIY Prices

Keep your shop vacuum running cleaner, stronger, and longer with the Infinity Tools DIY Dust Separator. Designed for woodworkers, DIYers, and home shops, this efficient dust collection separator removes dust, wood chips, debris, and even liquids from the airstream before they reach your shop vacuum.

The concept is simple: just add your own 5-gallon pail and you’re ready to go. The DIY Dust Separator provides an affordable way to upgrade your existing shop vacuum into a more efficient two-stage dust collection system without the cost or complexity of a dedicated dust collector.

The separator’s unique design is engineered to maximize airflow while efficiently separating debris. An oversized 8-inch upper housing features smooth, curved surfaces that allow dust and chips to travel freely through the separator rather than being trapped in areas that can restrict airflow.

At the heart of the system is a specially designed concave center baffle that dramatically improves separation efficiency. By removing more material from the airstream before it reaches the vacuum, the separator helps reduce the amount of dust and debris collected in your vacuum canister. That means less frequent filter cleaning, fewer canister cleanouts, and better overall shop vacuum performance.

Whether you’re collecting woodworking dust, sawdust, chips, or liquids, the Infinity Tools DIY Dust Separator is an affordable and highly effective way to improve your shop’s dust collection.

Why Add a Dust Separator?

A shop vacuum dust separator is one of the easiest ways to improve your existing dust collection setup. By separating most dust and debris before it reaches the vacuum, the Infinity Tools DIY Separator can help extend filter life, reduce maintenance, minimize vacuum canister cleanouts, and keep your shop vacuum working efficiently.

Just add a 5-gallon pail and lid stiffener, plus the 115-270 flex hose and adapter kit to start separating dust, chips, and debris before they reach your vacuum!

DIY Quick Snap Dust Separator

This entry-level dust separator performs like a premium product, removing chips and dust to keep your shop vacuum running better and longer. Just add 5-gallon pail and lid! We also offer an optional stiffener to add some support to the often flimsy lids available for 5-gallon buckets.

Lots of woodworkers use a shop vacuum to collect dust when using routers, circular saws and any number of power tools. They work well … for a while. Until the filter starts to clog as the collector fills quickly with the chips and dust.

Dust separators aren’t a new idea, but the Quick Snap Dust Separator offers new economy, excellent performance and you can watch it work! Designed to fit onto nearly any 5-gallon bucket, you’ll be impressed with the amount of dust and chips that are kept from clogging your shop vacuum. We did notice that some 5-gallon bucket have slightly flimsly lids, so we also offer a quick attach stiffener to improve performance.

The Dust Separator needs only two simple connections, with the first being to your shop vacuum. The connection is a 2-1/4″ interior diamter and an outer diameter of 2-1/2″, which fits the great majority of shop vacuums.

Next, simply attach your tool of the moment to the dust separator. The inlet is the same as with the shop vacuum connection (2-1/4″ I.D./2-1/2″ O.D.), and should you need adaptors to make that fit, take a look at the Quick Snap Small Tool Dust Collection Hose & Adaptors.

Then turn things on and go to work! While there’s never really a doubt that the dust is being pulled away from your work (and lungs), it’s comforting (and fun) to watch the dust and chips swirl around inside the separator, before falling into the bucket.

It may not be rocket science, but it is science. The dust and chips are pulled into the top of the separator and the shape of the separator spins the waste around the inside walls. Because the dust and chips are heavier, then naturally fall to the bottom of the separator and into the bucket below. The air flow continues up the interior tube and into your shop vacuum, but very little of the waste makes the full trip!

The results speak for themselves. Very little waste makes it to your shop vacumm’s filter, or collection bin. Keep your shop, lungs and shop vac filter free of debris with the DIY Quick Snap Dust Separator.
