does this really work? I sometimes got zapped by my shop vac (w/o a dust deputy), but it hasn't happened enough that I felt like doing much about it.

Try extending that bare wire all the way to the machine. Wrap it around the hose and clip it to the metal housing of the machine. In my old shop I used to get shocked by the hose leading to my table saw. I wrapped a bare copper wire around the outside of the hose. I ran it from the saw to the metal housing of the light on the ceiling. No more shocks.
