A Dust Deputy for your Festool.

[Dust Deputy]

Hello FOG!

I am excited to be able to introduce to you a new product from Oneida Air Systems, Inc. that is coming very soon! A Dust Deputy that is specifically designed to be integrated with your Festool.  I am sure most of you are familiar with the Dust Deputy(www.dustdeputy.com).  For those of you who are not familiar with the Dust Deputy, the Dust Deputy is an extremely efficient, cyclonic pre-seperator for vacuums.  The Dust Deputy will filter 99% of sanding dust, with only 1% going into the vacuum, thus extending the life of your vacuum and filters.  

Coming very soon, Oneida will have a Dust Deputy that has been designed to be integrated into your Festool systainer system (see picture) seamlessly.  No more cumbersome buckets attached to your Festool.  All the benefits of the Dust Deputy in a streamlined design for your Festool, that works with your Festool Systainer system.  

Please leave me your questions and/or comments.

Thanks,

Jason Seymour
Sales Manager

Cool!

Any chance of this coming to the UK? Do you have any distributors over here at the moment?

Welcome to the Festool Owners Group!

I am sure your new Dust Deputy will attract a lot of interest from our members. Since it is sales-related, I have moved your announcement into the Festool Sales & Dealer Area.

My first question is the same as jonny round boy's - are your products available outside North America?

I wish you luck with your new product.

Any idea on pricing or is that TBD?  Looks like a very nice set-up.

I have to get in line with the other guys above. Been hearing so much good things about the DD here on the FOG that I've been looking around to see if it's available in my country, The Netherlands. Do you got any distributors here? But this systainer bucket looks very good. No more need for folks to make their own jigs to fit it on the CT's. All the better.

That bucket looks like it can hold at least 3 times as much as the bag for the Ct22. But does it only come in one size? Personally, I think I would prefer one half that size.

jonny round boy and Forrest Anderson,

We do have a distributor in the UK. (http://www.oneida-air.co.uk/).  If we don't have a distributor in your area, we will be able to sell directly to you.

Thanks,

Jason

Pricing has not been determined as of yet. Coming soon........

 

[Dust Deputy]

Alex,

At the time of launch we will only have the one size available.

Thanks,

Jason

I would be the first one in Canada to buy one!
Couldn't find any information on canadian retailers on your website.

Thanks!

Get in line...really looking forward to this!  [eek]

Jason,

Will the Systainer portion of your new version be available separately -- without cyclone?

Corwin

 

[Dust Deputy]

Corwin,

I would like to think so.

thanks,

Jason

 

[AlexThePalex]

Sigh, thanks for the reaction Jason, but since you lack to mention anything about a Dutch distributor I take it's not available here.  [sad]

 

[Dust Deputy]

Alex,

We are always looking for new resellers.  If you can recommend anyone in the Netherlands who could resell this, please let me know.  In the interim we can look at the cost of shipping one directly to you once the product launches.

This looks very cool!  I'd like to see the metal cyclone as an option.

Jason,

Now you tell me! Right after I bought a DD with bucket, which, by the way, teeters precipitously on my C22 because I'm too lazy to bolt it to a base that will lock on to the top of the vac. Frankly, I wouldn't mind using that DD elsewhere, so when will you have "the rest of the story"?

I'd sure like to buy a Clear Vue Cyclones CV06 mini, it's a shame when a small family company gets stomped on by a big company and their lawyers.

From what I can see from the photos, it looks like the new Systainer-like container will fit onto the Festool vac, but it doesn't look as if one could fasten it to the top of a Systainer or Sortainer since it looks like there are no side tabs to clasp to...  What a shame -- it would have been much nicer if you could place a Systainer and/or Sortainer on the vac with the DD on top.

 

[bhendrix]

This is very exciting!  I have placed my order for two of them.  I'm using the DD with the 5 gallon bucket now and love it.

It seems there should be side tabs but it is hard to tell from the picture. The front tabs by themselves would hardly be woth the trouble of putting them on as the unit would be able to tip forward. Perhaps DD can clear this up?
