After reading reviews of this product on the Home Depot website and viewing several YouTube videos, I decided to give the Dustopper a try. I am impressed to say the least.
I ran two different projects, one using MDF and the other in walnut. Attached are two photos. The first bucket is with the Dustopper and the second is my DYI system that was attached in series between my dust collector (portable Harbor Freight) and the Dustopper. The second was for a visual on what type of material was not separated.
The amount of material in the first bucket is about three inches deep. A very small percentage of very fine dust got to the second bucket and less than a teaspoon got to my dust collector filter bag. Exactly the type of material that Tom Huntley says! is difficult to separate.
All in all it is a very good product and the fact that it is low profile (less prone to tipping over) makes it even better.
