Infinity Tools DIY Dust Separator Lid Stiffener

Build a Better 5-Gallon Bucket Dust Separator! 

First-stage dust separators have been improving shop vacuum performance for years, but many systems rely on expensive components, specialized containers, and complicated hardware that can quickly drive up the cost. Infinity Tools offers a simpler and more affordable approach. 

Pair the Infinity Tools 115-279 DIY Dust Separator with your own standard 5-gallon bucket and you have the foundation for an effective, economical shop vacuum dust collection system. Add the Infinity Tools 115-278 Dust Separator Lid Stiffener, and you have a strong, durable mounting surface designed specifically to support the separator. 

Precision CNC milled from 1/2"-thick MDF, the 115-278 lid stiffener reinforces the top of your 5-gallon pail while providing a robust mounting location for the dust separator. Simply attach the stiffener to your bucket lid, cut the required center opening, and install the 115-279 dust separator. 

The result is a straightforward DIY dust separator system that uses an inexpensive, readily available 5-gallon bucket as the collection container. Instead of investing in a costly dedicated dust collection system, you can create an efficient first-stage separator using components designed to work together. 

The reinforced lid helps provide the rigidity needed for a secure separator installation, while the replaceable bucket keeps the system economical and easy to maintain. When the collection bucket fills, simply empty it and put it back to work. 

Whether you're upgrading a shop vacuum dust collection system, building a DIY woodworking dust collector, or simply looking for an inexpensive way to separate sawdust and chips before they reach your vacuum, the 115-278 is a smart addition.
