haha in all honesty it all depends on my customers request but im always happy to pick up bits for stock to make stave drums from (like a barrel) so i can make use of board shorts quite easily, anything about 25mm thick & then to make one drum i need to cut 20 x staves each being 60mm x 200mm...

Niche Timber have they moved as they were in wakefield? down flanshaw industrial estate, never been but i keep thinking i should, its the sort of woods i could use in drums but for the qtys i need i have managed to get by finding people selling off palates & batches off cuts/shorts for now...

great video, its something we need to promote more in the instrument industries that alternatives do exist & should be looked into. i make drums for a living and a lot of exotics have become very fashionable in both stave, solid formats, not just veneers. i suspect this video was done around...

yeah i'm starting to realize the compromises in all the commercial machines, not looked at your other link about extractors yet but i will, i'm struggling with learning right now, i'm still getting my head round the last 6 months project which is building UV cure finishing equipment (lamp booth...

thanks guys.. Sploo, i love the system you have built... YorkshireMartin - i was looking at wall mounted, not checked out the camvac stuff yet, i just saw they do a similar powered small system with a 36L can which could go under my bench. i have no worries bout the hand tools, the vacs do...

i found that thread earlier just after your first reply, interesting & i wish i had room to fit or build something better... still wondering why record power suggest adding a extractor at ether end of a pipe run will vastly improve suction when all the info i can find from yourselves &...

thanks Matt, i think my best bet is 2 of the small metal drum extractors (as that's what i have space for) one hooked up to the bobbin sander permanently & the other with quick release fittings to i will swap between the other 2, i might get just the one larger 2 motor single machine when i...

as above my total space is a 2m x 1.7m booth mate, with some room under the down draft bench i mentioned, the rest of the space is taken by me, the osculating sander, the sanding disk & the bench. i dont have the height for that sort of thing or i would have a large extractor & cyclone...

i had not thought of just using a respirator, i just acquired an older axminster air filter, though i original wanted to reduce the amount of dust kicking about the room (the 26" spinning sanding disk kicks it out big time), this might at least be the best option for keeping me safe. thanks...

would the twin motor Record Power DX4000 Dust Extractor 80L, 2000W be a far better choice?

any suggestions to to what? upgrading isnt an issue within reason, its the space they take thats the problem! the room i have is 2m x 1.7m i need something compact. had previously intended on getting the wall mounted CT-50RCK from axminster but then read that 1 micron filtration is not enough...

that's first point is interesting, probably going to make me think too much ;) my brain is already mush from all this.... i could certainly look into making something like that work. unfortunately i don't think i do at this stage, i moved my sanding into said area as dust in the main workshop...

cool thanks CHJ, i'm with you, so i can scrap that idea & ignore what the Record video implied, best option i have its to have the 2 extractors, one hooked permanently to one machine (which ever is the hardest to connect up ) & the other i will connect as and when i need to to the other 2...

thanks for the info, im only going to be running one machine at a time, each machine would be gated off from the others when not in use, i guess i was thinking if i have a extractor at each end of tubing run, im going to maximize dust removal from the machine im running, both extractors are...

i think i may have confused things by using the word "Vac" regarding my SIP, its a chip collector style extractor but with the .5 micron filter... just like the Record. im not talking about hooking the henry VAC up to 100mm, more connecting 100mm to the 2 chip collectors, one at each end of...

odd question i guess. im looking to improve the fine dust extraction in my sanding room, i have a specific very small room in my workshop for doing sanding in, its only a very small area, but in it i have a 26" flat sanding disc, a jet floor standing oscillating sander & have just started to...

remembered where i put it, its at my workshop, will be able to grab it tomorrow morning PM me and we will get you sorted. Gareth

i had one, can't find it now I'm trying to locate it, if i do its yours.

you have loads of room, my business's main workshop room is 8 x 7m i have several large work benches (4 or 5 i think), a wadkin sp12 panel saw, 3m bench for my vac/air press, spray booth, pillar drills, router tables, large floor standing bobin & disc sanding machines, polishing equipment & UV...

already happening mate no ones going to wait till the end of the year, 10" table saw from axminster jumped from £739 last week to £810 this. i import goods & manufacturer for the music industry, its happening across the board from material supplies to shelf goods we just buy & sell on. some...
