Triton Dust Collection Bucket 23Ltr DCA300 (330055)

I think people leave negative reviews because of they're expectations. The are expecting a full dust filtration system from a bucket! If you have a small workshop (like me) Then this is perfect. Hook it up to your shop vac and away you go. Very surprising performance. Zero dust from sanding and hooked up to my table saw it performed brilliantly. If you have a small workshop you cannot go wrong

An essential piece of equipment for many small woodworking workshops. For anyone currently using a small vacuum or HPLV-type dust extractor, this Dust Bucket will save you a lot of bother. It essentially stops the majority of the dust from reaching your extractor. This helps to keep the filters clean, which means you do not experience a drop in suction. It works very well and, even when you do notice the airflow drop a little as the drum begins to fill, a few thumps on top of the Dust Bucket should help to keep its filter clean. Also, the clear plastic construction allows you to see how much does is inside. How many workshop vacuums are as convenient?! You get a couple of hoses (one long, one short) supplied as standard and all the relevant connectors to set the Dust Bucket up in your workshop. I found that the longer hose wasn't quite long enough for working with some power tools in my workshop so, I may have to buy a second length and see if I can join them together... While the sole connector does fit snugly on to some of my power tools (it seems to favour the Makita brand...), on others, you will have to come up with another means to getting connected - but then, that's a common flaw found with many power tool extractors. Usually, some kind of stepped or tapered connector will solve most problems, if you don't fancy messing around with scraps of 32mm waste pipe. Some woodworkers prefer to make their own 'drop boxes' from whatever sheet materials they have lying around. But, considering the planning, time and expense that goes in to producing something heavy that may not work as well as hoped, at around £40, I believe that the Triton Dust Bucket represents very good value for money indeed.

I will give it five stars, although there are some flaws with the design and quality in some of the materials. For this price, it's not worth wasting your time in building a DIY dust collection bucket! 1). One of the connectors (black with red interior) has developed a crack after a few days. Probably it had a hidden manufacturing flaw. 2). The filter is becoming clogged too fast, but it has a very good filtration capacity even for fine powders. You can easily remove it and wash it with warm water. I'm working on a custom made disposable ecological/biodegradable filter (it will be very cheap!) and hopefully it will be on the market in a couple of months. 3). The stability of the bucket is not the best (to say the least) if you are moving around with the tools attached. The solution for this is: a 6 quid trolley (it's called Diall Trolley/Plant Pot Mover and you can find it at B&Q) + a 3 quid Halfords Luggage Elastic. 4). The price should be lower, around 30 quid and I can guarantee you that this would be called a "killer deal". 5). My recommendation would be to use this dust collection bucket with a professional vacuum cleaner. You cannot go wrong with a Shop-Vac wet/dry vacuum cleaner! Don't waste your money on other more expensive brands because Shop-Vac has one of the most powerful suction (for ONE motor) I've seen so far and they are honest about the Air Watts too... 6). Would I choose an ULTRA PORTABLE Cyclone Dust Collection solution over this one? No, because you cannot attach a disposable filter to capture very small particles and still be able to move it around the whole day. Remember, this product was designed with mobility in mind!

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with this product. It look great and on the product page but when I received it, it let me down 100%. The lid keeps on popping off as the clips that are meant to clip it securely to the bucket are not deep enough to secure the lid to the bucket. I didn't even get to use the product so I cannot say how effective it is at collecting saw dust. Maybe it is just the one I received but I can only give a review based on what I was received.

Really made a difference to my small 'workshop'. In the past using the thicknesser has meant lots of trips emptying the vacuum and often cleaning out the clogged filter where it has got over full. Thing of the past! The filter in the bucket generally cleans enough by giving the lid a tap or two while the filter in the vacuum remains clear giving maximum suction. The clear sides of the bucket allow you to see how full it is without having to open it up. The lid has a good seal on it and the capacity is very useful. You may still have to sort out connections to different size dust collectors on your tools but that is not any fault of the bucket. There are such variations out there on different tools and different makes, a kit with the bucket does not make sense. My only niggle is that the short hose that is supposed to connect the bucket to your vacuum cleaner was a little too short, especially since mine is also a Triton! However, I managed to get round that leaving the longer hose and my vacuum's original hose to give me two separate connections. The sliding controls to open and close the two ports the bucket gives you are a little fiddly at times but I think this is just where I need to get used to them. It took me a little while to get everything set up (mainly connections) the way I want it but it has really paid off. Very happy with the product and even happier with the difference to the functionality of the workshop.

Disappointing in the bucket being so flimsy, getting the lid on was a pain, and I was sure bin would crack Plus points There are two inlets to allow a second feed. Enough pipe to connect to the chop saw and short one for hoover Linking to a garage hoover was the plan to save that getting all the dust in and blocking Half points Valves are little basic to open and close, not sure on longevity but there is two Simple shutters to move dust Minus points Not enough votrex created to really pull all the waste even with a 1100w garage vax Feels lot less sturdy then pictures show Big negative is not enough inlet connections. Comes with 4, two inlet style for feed to hoover another to feed the collection. The others are a joining one for your vac system and a fitting that will not connect to anything I would have preferred three inlet types to allow the second collection point to be used.

This little bucket works a treat, but it does have its downfalls! The filter does need cleaning often, especially if you’re using it on a sander. Put it’s no big deal. The suction is great, and it really does keep my vacuum cleaner bags empty. The hoses are pretty pointless. The screw on heads don’t fit the hose easily, however they fit perfectly on a Henry hose. The hoses are also very stiff and I find I’m tipping the bucket often because of the lack of flexibility. I would suggests getting hold of some Henry hoses if you buy this bucket, as I said the connectors fit more easily and they are far more flexible, and also build a cabinet for the bucket and vacuum...helps a tonne!! All in all I’m very happy with the product and I intend to buy another for a router table I’m building, even though I think the price is a little high!!

If your hobby is changing the shape of wood you're going to make sawdust. Professional workshops will have industrial setups. This is smaller scale, powered by a decent shop vac and connecting to the saw / sander etc. The shop vac provides the suction and this dust collection bucket separates the particulates before the air reaches your vac. It's easy to empty this bucket without always replacing a dust bag in the vac. An air filter in the bucket traps most of the finer dust. Very little dust then gets to the vac dust bag which also acts as a filter. Most vacs also have another hepa filter so the exhaust is really quite clean. There are many D. I. Y. plans around to create a system like this but, this is tried & tested. It comes with all the fittings and an air filter. I think it's good value for money compared to going round collecting plumbing fittings and cobbling bits together.. Just one point to make, the empty bucket is light and as you move around the vac hose will pull it over. I fasten mine to a leg of the workbench with a bungie cord.

Good at separating the bigger dust, the filter gets clogged when sanding. In all works as expected. You need to get a set of adapters and a extra hose, the supplied one is stiff and short

S’adapte très bien a mon aspirateur ça fonctionne assez bien mais les seul choses qui ne sont pas tellement bien c'est un des manchon qui ne va sur rien ou presque et la longueur du deuxième tuyaux qui est vraiment trop court à mon goût surtout quand on peut brancher le tuyaux de sont aspi directement sur le dust sans avoir besoin du système prévue, on pourrai dans ce cas là s'en servir pour une autre machine vue que l'on peut mettre deux tuyaux dessus , cela serai encore plus intéressant et pourrai même faire gagnée un peut de temps sur les branchements et débranchements .

Jag använder Triton som sotavskiljare till en Stanley grovdammsugare. Funkar jättebra, dock blir filtret snabbt fullt och suget minskar,men då räcker det med att banka lite på Triton-locket. Inget sot hamnar i grovdammsugaren.

Il Triton DCA300 è un prodotto molto importante per la salvaguardia di aspiratori a turbina, ed allo stesso tempo è un valido raccoglitore di polvere/trucioli, con una portata di 20 litri dichiarati (usando il banco fresa per un'intera mattinata non si è riempito nemmeno per metà). In buona sostanza è un semplice secchio di plastica nella parte inferiore, mentre è la parte superiore quella che lo trasforma in qualcosa di molto più importante: il coperchio, dotato di un attacco per l'aspiratore, ed altri due per collegare il secchio ad elettro utensili e/o battute parallele di banchi fresa/sega, fa si che il secchio diventi un sistema di separazione ciclonica, con tutta la comodità di non dover montare un classico separatore ciclonico (es. DUST COMMANDER DLX - Separatore ciclonico ) ad un comune secchio/bidone di pittura riciclato, per ottenerne lo stesso risultato. Nella fattispecie ho collegato al Triton DCA300 l'aspiratore Bosch Professional 06019C3100 GAS 35 M AFC Aspiratore a Umido / a Secco , mentre le altre due bocchette (entrambe chiudibili separatamente) sono state collegate ad un banco fresa TAVOLO INDUSTRIO CMT cm.80x60x93h (EUR) ed alla Fresatrice CMT 7E o Triton TRA001 con pinze da 8mm e da 12mm collegata al banco. Il risultato è che l'aspiratore Bosch, alla fine delle lavorazioni effettuate era quasi privo di trucioli, che per la quasi totalità si sono riversati esclusivamente nel secchio raccogli polvere. Il DCA300 arriva con in dotazione due tubi di 35 mm. di diametro, con lunghezze di circa 2,5 m. e 1 m. Vi sono, inoltre, tre adattatori per le bocche del secchio, ed un adattatore per l'innesto di aspirazione della battuta laterale parallela del banco fresa. Ultimo consiglio: nel secchio non deve essere inserito alcun sacco, che, a causa del principio di aspirazione su cui si basa il raccoglitore, potrebbe intasare le bocchette, e mandare in STOP l'aspiratore ad esso collegato. Prodotto consigliato per l'utilizzo combinato ad elettro utensili e spedizione/imballaggio sempre nei canoni standard di Amazon.

Funciona correctamente, recoge bien el polvo/serrín fino y la ceniza, el problema que le veo es que es inestable y se cae cuando se mueven los tubos, así que tendré que fabricarle un "habitáculo" que lo mantenga en pie.
