The JET DC1100 is only a tenner more and has much more suck. If you can house it outside so that it vents externally it could work for you. It does well for me By the way that looks a very nice space.

If you spend all day all week in the shop then you really should be collecting all the dust at source and wear a mask only for machines with leakage or where 99.9% collection is impossible. You really cannot believe the difference in the environment including air quality when you achieve this.

Duct sizing is as much about what is on the other end of the duct and the number of bends. You are starting off with a low volume, if you go up down and snake around there will not be much suck at the point of action whatever size duct you use. Bends create turbulence that seriously reduces the...

Which model? The 1400 will fit in the Incra/Jessam router lift but the newer 1600 will not but might work with the model that screws to the base plate

Yes best thing I did. Massive difference in air quality and cleaning up. Just have to remember to empty the bag

Mike I get 750cfm to about 1270m3/hr am I calculating that wrong? My testing kit largely verified my calculations in terms of cfm and in terms of air speed

You cannot get 750cfm from 100mm duct with a 1.5 or 2hp motor on a low pressure system. My machines need 750cfm to ensure the fine dust is properly extracted. As for funnels and bends I agree. So I had them purpose made. The bends have a centre radius of 3xD and the reducing funnel is 300mm...

I am just finishing one. On mine the up rights are part of the frame to hold the panels that float. The difficult joint is the head as it is splayed. The studs come with shirt screws to screw into the timber. Mine is 57mm thick

You could hit your thumb as much as you liked, it was half crowns that would get you in serious trouble.

Yes I move the one flexi to the machine ports. 100mm pipe is useless. Low pressure systems need lots of air to move the volume needed to clear the shavings. It might sound as if there is not much difference between 150mm and 100mm but if you do the maths 100mm duct is half the area of 150mm so...

As the shavings fly about 8m and 2m of flexi to the port on the machine. I only have one branch of it of 100mm dia.

At that price it is worth a go. If it works you save. If it does not send it back.

If you can site your extractor outside and vent the air outside the improvement in air quality is tremendous. The problem with all extractors is they only filter to various degrees of success and the first thing that passes through the filter is the fine dangerous stuff. A year ago I built an...

You can order on line and they are excellent

Sorry missed this earlier. The Sale of Goods Act S.14 requires goods to be fit for their purpose. A support that is lower than the bed of the saw would seem not to be fit for the purpose of supporting the wood when sawing. The suggestion that it is a "general support" might be good if it was...

Jimmy, make sure you are there to help the courier driver, they tend not to be used to unloading expensive veneer. SLH wrap the sheets well but I remember one driver could not give a monkeys it was too heavy for him to lift so dragging it off the van and then across my gravel drive was...

Try SL Hardwoods at Croydon. They will courier it out. I have used them several times and price and service was good

The idea is that it clogs the filter, that you can take out and clean. You cannot take your lungs out and clean them.

Tell me about it, stuff gets everywhere but HSE advise that you should suck not blow. Another reason to vent to the outside. There has been far fewer of the little blighters since I upgraded my extraction and started venting to the outside.

Jacob, whilst this was standard practice in the shop I worked, for the benefit of others who follow your usually good example the HSE say this is not a good idea as you inhale more fine dust. Dust should be collected at source and any escapees hoovered up
