About This Separator
Catch chips and fine dust before they hit your vacuum, so your filter stays clean and your suction holds. This cyclone separator lid drops onto a standard 5 gallon bucket. Connect your shop vac or dust collector to the outlet port and your tool hose to the inlet port.
The tangential inlet creates a vortex that drops chips and dust into the bucket, so most of the mess never reaches your filter. It is printed in PETG, so it stands up to shop heat and solvents and will not crack like brittle PLA. Bucket rims vary by brand. Measure your rim.

Settle the size
Two ways to land on the right number.
1. Measure it yourself
Calipers or a ruler in millimeters. That number is what the builder asks for, and we print to it.
How to measure both ends
First look at the port on your tool. Most are an opening you can put a caliper tip inside. Some are a stub that sticks out, the kind a hose slips over. The two need different numbers, so check which one you have before you measure.
If the port is an opening, measure the inside. Put your calipers in the opening and open them until they touch both walls. That inside number is the one our parts are built to, because our adapter goes into the port.
If the port is a stub the hose slips over, measure across the outside of the stub. Our adapters today are male on both ends, so they go into an opening rather than over a stub. That means a stub port may need a different part than the ones we list, so ask us before you order.
Do the same at the vacuum end. Measure the inside of the open hose or duct end. With both numbers written down, the chart and the builder both know what to show you.
2. Put your setup on the record
Give us two numbers and we build to them.
Common questions
Will it fit my bucket?
The rim is sized for a standard 5 gallon bucket. Bucket rims differ a little by brand, so measure your rim and pick the lid that matches it.
How much dust does it catch?
Most of it. The vortex or baffle drops chips and fine dust into the bucket before they reach your vacuum, so your filter stays cleaner and your suction holds.
What hose sizes does it take?
The inlet and outlet ports are sized for 2-1/4" and 2-1/4" connections. Use an adapter on either port if your hose is a different size.
What is it made of?
PETG. It handles shop heat and common shop solvents and takes knocks without cracking like brittle PLA.
Find the adapter that fits your tool
Pick your tool and your vac, so more dust goes in the vac and less in the air you breathe.
