Shop Owner Invents The Dust Collection Hero

Bert Rabbe, owner of a small woodshop in Arlington, Texas, offers the Dust Collector Hero to solve the irritating task of dust collector bag changes.

“The Dust Collector Hero is an air-tight chamber that connects to the dust collector and has an easily opened hatch to provide access to the collected sawdust,” Rabbe explains.

"Since the bag itself is not being pressurized, inexpensive single use bags are an option as well as durable reusable bags. If you dispose of your sawdust in a bag, simply take the filled one out and toss it. If you dump the loose debris into a bulk container, switch to an inexpensive fiber reinforced reusable bag that resists the sharp edges of the dumpster.”

The Dust Collector Hero comes as a kit that replaces the legs on most single-stage dust collectors. Models are available for collectors that use the external metal band clamp as well as the internal snap rings.
