Has anyone here tried rigging up a mounting system for a 5-gallon Thien separator similar to the bucket mount used for the Dust Deputy? Seems like a fairly simple (and slick) setup to keep the separator and vac together while dragging around the shop...
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but thought I'd share anyway. The "engineering" is specific to my Fein Turbo I but the concepts may be adaptable to other vacs. The whole assembly rolls easily over my mostly smooth basement floor and is not overly top-heavy or "tippy".
I must also add that the debris separation of this build is spectacular. After emptying the bucket several times over the last year+ and not using an inner bag in the bottom of the Fein, the CleanStream filter has zero caking and there is no dust in the bottom of the Fein. This is my primary extractor for my ROS, oscillating spindle sander and router stations, so I'm sure I get plenty of fine dust through the system.
