Portable Planer/Jointer Milling Station with Dust Collection

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Built Tommy's One Minute Workshop Milling Station. Great concept, but one significant issue – DW735 dust collection. The sealed bucket + Dust Deputy cyclone generates too much back-pressure and so chips are coming out of the front of the planer and some are left behind, underneath the knives on the planer table. PITA. Tried 4” hoses, also tried removing the planer's impeller (with and w/o shop vac), very modest improvement. Considering a different approach – eliminate the bucket, and add a filter/door in the rectangular compartment where the bucket sits. Similar to what Matt/Kellly did in earlier posts like this one: https://www.lumberjocks.com/projects/101876Looking for any ideas anyone may have to improve upon this setup, with the goal being to keep it self-contained, e.g., no giant external dust collector, or large DustRight bag, etc.
