Dust Collection Dustopper
Dustopper Cyclone Dust Separator
$32
Overview
The Dustopper is a cyclone dust separator that sits between your CNC dust boot and shop vac. It captures 99% of dust and chips in a standard 5-gallon bucket before they reach your vacuum filter, dramatically extending filter life and maintaining suction power. An essential add-on that pays for itself quickly in saved vacuum filters.
