Tony you stated this filter http://www.axminster.co.uk/default.asp?part=AFS1000B But I cannot find it and looking back at some of your earlier posts you were also talking about a .5micro bag filter???? Hopefully you could bring it to Philly's as I would like to get it tested!!!! Got a mate who...

Tony my interrest in the bag you quoted as I am converting a dust extractor for a friend who cannot spend much. I fitted my old plastic bag and metal strap from my old dust extractor and offered to make the filter holder if he would buy the filter but he cannot afford it. I call Axminster and...

Tony I did not call you a liar but no bag can filter down to .5micro that I have been able to find and that is what is required to stop MDF dust. Its not just the Pentz site that says so. I am not a cyclone convert but was finding it hard in the gym following a day in the workshop and...

Davy its when you get down and dirty that you discover what goes on - I have looked at Pentz's site more times than I can remember - but you have to make it work?? Barry

Davy with the 18", the outlet to the impellor is 9" if you are going to follow Pentz. - How do you get this to work with the 6" impellor inlet????? If you open up the inlet you have to also open up the outlet and this causes a resonating sound that I found very difficult to get rid of. Barry

Davy I agree with you the 450mm(+/-17.75") would be the best option if you have the ceiling height. You do realise that you will have to build you own impellor case? Barry

Tony from an earlier thread a number of people asked for the details of your bag - which we did not get. I have been unable to find a bag that could get anywhere close to your specs. Barry

Tony I totally disagree with you. For one the bag area of the extractors are too small and restricts the airflow. I difference I found when replacing the two top bags with filters was worlds apart. I have not got fancy test equipment but fill a bucket with MDF/ply dust and test the time it takes...

Its better to use 450mm as it is a standard in the airconditioning industry - just short of 18"and .8mm or 1mm is ideal. You will have to use a short fat collection bucket to reduce the height or you will have to side mount the motor and impellor. Also try and find an impellor greater than 13...

It cost less than £40 and it works. The larger diameters present a problem with the standard 8' ceiling height. I had considered using 450mm diameter and got a quote from CCL for the cone and main body at £136.32 including VAT. Once the cheapie worked I have had a hard time justifying spending...

Davy I used a 3HP motor with a 13 1/2" impellor and 6" pipe to the impellor and motor. I used 4" piping in the workshop with my cheapie cyclone and the body has a 15" diameter. It works and does not put undue pressure on the motor according to the clamp meter. I get no dust leaving the cyclone...

From all my research the Woodpecker phenolic plate looks best if only I could get the UK agent to deliver one. It has eight leveling screws so that you can get the plate level from above the table. You can get up to 7 inserts for different router bit sizes and it comes with a tool to fit and...

If they were the same price as the Besey you would buy them??? I would

Francis what is the cyclone made of and how thick is it. Does it include the transition from 150mm diameter round to the rectangular input? Barry

Thanks Waka - I am going to Philly's and it appears that he has one - I will see if he will show it to me Thanks again Barry

Thanks Neil I did do a search but did not go back far enough. Barry

I have been considering using a Incra positioning jig as an additional fence with my new router table. There are a multitude of of products for the router table. Ultra lite Ultra jig LS Fence system Original positioning jig I have been unable to get a demo of the product although I...

Philly me to Barry

Irwin make a laser guide that fits to the arbor. I bought mine from eBay in the USA as it was cheaper than getting it from a UK ebay user. Cost me £25 including carraige. I had to remove a small portion of the saw guard as it hit the laser. Works a treat. Starts once the saw is turning. Barry

Philly There was an update either thursady or friday morning that came through from Microsoft that fixed the problem. Barry r
