rockler vortex

Hey guys, I just wanted to give some info on Rocklers Dust Right Vortex Dust Collector.  As you can see from the picture I have it hooked up to my Ridged shop vac and my Incra router table.  I have thought about the Oneida Dust  Deputy for a while, but didn't want to spend $100 on a little 5 gallon bucket.
So for $70 I got a larger 10 gallon bucket on wheels that worked great!  I routed some  rails and stiles for 14 doors today without a problem.  I didn't even fill it up half way. Plus I used it to do some other clean up around the shop and it rolled along just fine.  Did not tip over on me.  I still have my Delta DC for my other tools.  I wanted something a little more portable and I found it with this Vortex.  So if your in the market for a little dust collector for a little money, check this Vortex out.

Thanks for the info. I was looking at this last week in Rockler, seems like a nice design and a lot more stable and maneuverable than the DD as well as being cheaper. I think I'll be getting one of these.

I almost got one but passed it up.  I may go back and get one now.

By the way, in the second photo it looks like you're cleaning up the end of a rail with a straight bit.  Sort of an power shooting board?
