Customizing Your M5 for Your Shop Setup

While the M5 Dust Cyclone Collection is designed to make its way around the shop, the beauty is it can be reconfigured to fit just about any setup big or small.

Below are a couple of thought-starters to get you going. Have a customized setup? Send it to gus@mullettools.com, as shop envy isn’t on his list of seven deadly sins.

Who doesn’t want to free up more floor space in the shop? The M5 is built to be re-configured easily. Take the casters off and use the threaded inserts as your starting point. Need extra pipe, fittings or casters? We've got you covered here.

Wall Mounted

Looking for a more permanent mounted position? Head to your local hardware store and pick up a PVC compression coupling. You can use this to attach your M5 inlet to PVC. If your ducting has a little flex in it, you may be able to connect the M5 inlet to it using a standard coupling instead.

Supercharge Your Blast Cabinet
