Dust right vortex

DUST RIGHT VORTEX, from Rockler Woodworking and Hardware, is a 10-gallon dust container that turns any standard shop vacuum into an effective two-stage dust extractor, according to the company.

When used with most power tools and shop vacuums, it captures sawdust, wood chips and other shop debris before it gets to the vacuum, preventing the loss of suction power caused by a clogged vacuum filter. Other features include a five-caster base, translucent container with an easy-to-read fill line, and snap-on lid. It sells for $69.99 with a 36” flex-form hose.
