Last week I added some copper tape to my dust collector separator bucket and a bolt that I clip an ESD strap to. (The ESD strap plugs into the grounding plug on my power strip.) This setup seems to have reduced the static buildup a lot. (I had been getting electric shocks when I touched the bucket and the wood chips were standing on edge inside the bucket.) I was inspired by the Dustopper PRO video: [Grounding the Dustopper PRO – My Store](https://www.dustopper.com/blogs/help/grounding-the-dustopper-pro)
