Oneida Dust Deputy

[tvman44]

Does anyone use a Oneida Dust Deputy on their scroll saw? Does it do a good job of removing the fine dust from a scroll saw and help keep the DC filter clean? I know they work pretty good on larger waste but curious about finer dust from a SC. I want to set up a different dust collection system for my SC, I find it such over kill using my 2 hp DC for my SC.

I use the dust Deputy on my shop vac that I use with my random orbital sander and it works great. I rarely have to clean the filter!
I have my dust collector hooked up to my scroll saw. I have a homemade separator in front of the dust collector that collects 95% of the dust that is generated by my woodworking tools including the scroll saw. Here is a link to a post about my set up. I have since moved the lower collection port to just below the bevel knob: http://stevedgood.com/community/index.php?topic=8625.0

dgman,
I have a similar set up on the SS except I have a 4" line under the saw and a 1" line above and both connected to a 4" line to my Thein style separator to my HF 2hp DC.  But I feel the 2hp DC is over kill for a SS so I am wanting to use something smaller just for the SS and thinking about the Dust Deputy for a separator and changing the lines on the SS to 2 2 1/2" lines into the Dust Deputy then into a smaller DC that draws a lot less current and makes a lot less noise but unsure how effective the Dust Deputy is on such fine dust.  I have a small squirrel cage blower with a 4" diameter input and a 6" output that I will try to use for the SS DC and instead of a filter I want to try venting outside.

Yes, the Dusty Deputy will work as advertised and do what you want it to do!
