Most of my woodworking projects start like this: Dewalt planer, Dust Deputy Low-Pro, and Vacmaster vacuum (an older model that I’ve had for ages).

The Dewalt DW735 planer is AWESOME and has become somewhat of a contractor standard.

Why do I use the Dust Deputy Low-Pro from Oneida Air Systems Inc. ? Because planing wood generates a whole lot of shavings and dust. For this shutter project, it generated roughly 22-24 gallons of the stuff. If you try to suck it straight up with a shop vac, it will clog the filter in a hurry. This causes frequent work stoppage, plus filters are expensive. The Dust Deputy collects the dust and shavings before it reaches your vacuum. It also connects to your existing shop vac—even an older like mine.

Highly recommended for woodsmiths!

Switch to an offset driver head with the Bosch GSR12V-300FC, which comes in a kit with four different tool heads.
