A New Vac Center I Just Finished

[Stew Hagerty]

I wanted to have a cart that I could easily move around my shop with my Fein Turbo II and Dust Deputy. I also wanted it to have space for I'll of the accessories and adaptors. Of course power was an important necessary, so I mounted a 30' retractable extension cord on the back. Another thing I thought of while I was constructing it was to mount my "Sander Sitter" since I will typically be using the vac and sanded together.

So, here it is:

Try rotating the photos before posting... too old to turn my head to look at them...

That's interesting. They were all straight up and down. Beats me why some of them are sideways. Hmmm.

I like how you got all that on a small footprint. The large loop hose storage and the sander sitter look especially convenient. Nicely done. Festool makes something like that for several thousand dollars...

That's really nice! I'm adding that to my project list.

I'd be happy to share my plans with anyone that wants one.

By the way, I have another thread that talks about the way I connected my Fein base to the Dust Deputy. I can't believe that Oneida didn't have a specific adapter since they show it with a Fein in a large percentage of their ads.

Here is a link to that thread if you're interested in building this kind of setup.

Very clever. It looks just a tad bit like a Dr. Who prop, however--kinda like a plywood Dalek.

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

Dust that is...

On the sideways photo thing. Your camera or phone is writing a bit of code on each photo defining it's orientation during the exposure. The problem is that not every program or website recognizes this bit of code. What I do is turn that option of on my camera, then manually reorient the photos.
Nice job. I particularly like at the sander sitter on a stick. You could incorporate mounting points wherever you think you might ever need one.

I made the one from Woodsmith magazine, which is more horizontal than vertical, but I really like having all the vacuum gear together. My only suggestion would be to make sure you put big wheels on it, as I had used some small ones, and getting it over cords and such made it difficult.

I chose the vertical route because, as a wheelchair- bound woodworker, I need all of the floor space I can get.
I've got 5" hard rubber wheels on it; two fixed in back and two casters in front. And, if you noticed, the front wheels are cantilevered forward by 3". I did that to offset the center of gravity to make it very unlikely to tip over if the wheels should catch on something while I am pulling it.
