This is as close to perfect as you can get. I just bought my Dustopper the other day and I'm going to copy this design. I'm going to build it so it is the same height as my workbench so I have additional area. If I had a table saw, I'd build it at the proper height for outfeed.

Thanks! This thing has gotten so much use around my shop it's ridiculous. I've even used it as a power extension and even just to vacuum up my shop since it's so easy to move around. There are a few things that I wish I had done differently (and haven't gotten around to a video explaining them). One is to mount the auto start device where it's more reachable. It is nice to be able to change it from auto to always on when just doing some random vacuuming, so that's been a pain to have to keep reaching in all the way. Another is that the hooks are a bit loose, so there needs to be some more meat behind them on the side wall. The last thing I can think of off the top of my head (I'm sure there are others I'm missing) is having better adapters between the dust collection and different tools. The connection for the table saw works but often keeps coming loose over time. Hopefully those ideas will save you some headache on yours!

Excellent design of dust collection, sanding, and table top. best innovation is the power integration!

Thanks! Yes, the power integration has really come in handy. It has even been doubling as a sort of extension cord lately.

i usually just buy an extension cord and cut the receptacle end off and keep it for short cords seems like i always need one, also i like to put in 4 plug boxes so i have lots of power taps or even a switch for stuff. great design

Great ideas! Since I've been using the cart a while having the plug box only on one side has proven to be difficult for some things. Adding another one on the other side would definitely be helpful. Might make a video about upgrades to the cart at some point in the future.

Wow! awesome. It is impressive that the dust is sucked from the floor. The wall background on the back is also nice. I have a dust collector cart made similarly, and it compares in many ways to the one you made. I'm Korean, and the music is very oriental. I enjoyed watching the wonderful video. I will refer to it in several ways. thank you

Thank you for the kind words! This cart has gotten a ton of use since I built it and I am already thinking about ways to improve it. I will check your dust collector cart video out now! I actually got a lot of inspiration from a few Korean channels when I first started mine. One of the many great things I learned from the channels was being able to demonstrate something without having to speak. There's something really cool about being able to communicate ideas across all languages in an efficient way. Thanks again :)

Love how you make things that are both time savers and space savers!

Thanks! I love being efficient with my time and with a small shop I need to be able to save space where I can!

Cool video! Love the background music!
