Do you have a template for the base plate's screw-hole patterns?
You can find a printable template in the Documents section of the Router Hood's product page. After printing this off you can match the template to the screw holes on the bottom of your portable router to see if it matches. Make sure that you do not scale the PDF file when printing.

Can you use this multi-cyclone design with a 2HP system?
Horsepower isn't the best indicator for the strength of a vacuum system. The better metric to look for is the CFM (airflow rating) of your vacuum.
The multi-cyclone design is ideal for vacuum systems (not dust collectors) with a CFM rating of up to 250 CFM.
Do any of your larger drums fit this model?
The Super Dust Deputy 4" Deluxe is a special kit for smaller, personal workshops. The cyclone and the drum lid are a single molded component that provides an efficient, airtight seal with the drum.
As such, the cyclone/lid piece is only compatible with the 14 gallon drum provided in the kit. If you have a need with a larger capacity drum, we would recommend using the 5" Super Dust Deputy cyclone and reducing down the inlet as you require.
What diameter do I order for the V-3000? 7" or 6"?
The inlet of the V-3000 dust collector is 7" in diameter so we would recommend that you run 7" dia. straight pipe out from the inlet and then reduce down to 6" or smaller depending on the ductwork layout in your shop.
does the straight fit directly on dust collector or do I need a spiral adapter?
Our Snap-Lock pipe is pre-crimped on one end to fit easily into the inlet of our dust collector's. You would only need a Spiral Pipe (Male-to-Male) Adapter if you were connecting Spiral Pipe (or other non-crimped ductwork) to the dust collector's inlet.
Will the 3HP motor work with 208 volt single phase power?
Yes. The V-3000 dust collector can be operated at a voltage range of 208V to 230V in single phase.
Can this flex hose handle rock dust that has pieces of rock in it?
Our clear, flexible hose (item #DHF...) is designed for use in light dust collection applications such as wood dust. Heavier, more abrasive materials such as rock dust are outside the product's intended use and can degrade the quality of the hose quicker than intended.
Does this drum dolly work on 5 gallon plastic buckets?
Yes. This drum dolly will fit any container up to 14" in diameter. You will just need to drill a hole in the bottom of the bucket to install the dolly.
What type of dust bin works best?
You can use any shape or size container for your Dust Deputy cyclone. Keep in mind that the smaller the container, the more often you'll have to empty it.
The dust container you provide must be able to be sealed airtight for the best performance. Foam gaskets or silicone caulk can help provide an airtight seal. Containers must also be strong enough to withstand the pressure created by your vacuum. For plastic buckets, we recommend at least a 90 mil. wall thickness; otherwise, the container may collapse when in use.

Is your Quick-Clamp Duct compatible with Nordfab Quick-Fit Ducting?
Yes! As long as the opening pipe diameters are the same, OAS Quick-Clamp Duct components can be combined and used interchangeably with Nordfab® QF ducting and other common clamp-together ductwork products.
