DIY Shop Vac Cart -- High Performance Vacuum & Dust Collection

This is not your father's dust collector cart! Tired of filthy filters, reduced suction and dust everywhere? These problems and more are solved with a brand new take on building your own mobile shop vacuum dust separation system.

Transform your shop vac into an effective small shop dust collection system. This cart has loads of unique and practical features not found on other designs! Fun and easy DIY project. Saves time and money!

Easy to build, but for those that want more detail, plans with diagrams, visual parts and tools lists, measurements, electrical schematics and 6 additional video segments are available for only $9 at https://uncharteddiy.com/shop-vac-cart/

This design can be adapted for other types and sizes of wet dry vacuums, not just the Ridgid workshop utility vacs. The plans cover how.

Using principles I learned from building a large, central dust collection system, this cart maintains the power of your shop vac without restrictive adapters and fittings.
