I use a mini cyclone attached to a vacuum (2000W) for my small high pressure system using 1.5"pipes and use the 3HP extractor with two 65litre drop bins to aid the separation. The 2HP loses flow with one drop bin while a single drop bin on a 3HP does not retain anything. A 44gal drum would be...

Ivan I chose that filter after some discussion with them as I wanted another filter that they did not have and the price from Donaldson's was £115 +VAT + delivery and they would not sell it to me unless I had an account and would be a regular user of filters. The Jjapanesesite showing a...

Jake I tested a total of 7 vacuum cleaners with both of my mini cyclones. I started with a 600W B&Q shop vac upto a 2000W and included two different Dysons. What I was trying to do was to separate the maximum amount of dust out of the air and allowing very little to get through to the vacuum...

Jake - I started out the vacuum route and bought a clamp meter - to be a little more scientific than you and your sound. Shock - the meter was right and my ear was wrong . I have been there and tried most of the vacuum options and then I started to test the Pentz options. My test was very...

Jake thats the problem with both impellor or vacuum based systems you have to get the air out of the system with as little dust in the air as possible. The bigger the square meterage of the filters the better. This can be seen if you connect a clamp meter to the electrical cord to the device...

I us Rockler in the USA http://www.rockler.com/ Most of the time I am not charged duty or VAT but it is a random decision. It usually takes about 10days from the USA

Sonic the problem is the bags. I have found replacing the top bag with a filter you do not get that fine dust being blown out across the workshop.

Jake with a vacuum type approach I prefer to use a mini cyclone to separate the majority of chips and heavier dust into a 65litre container with the air outlet going to the vacuum. I have built both a single and double cyclone(like Dyson) attached to 2000W vacuums that work very well with dust...

Thanks Brad I will try that

Ivan is correct the Camvacs fail the Bill Pentz tests and the minimum pipe size should be 100mm or more. The Camvacs I have seen are using 2.5" pipe If your extractor is 2HP or more - putting a simple bin extractor before the system take a load of the extractor but you lose airflow with...

Dave they work well and my dust extractor is using more amps on startup as there is less resistance. I have sent you pictures via your e mail

No the 15/16 nut is not sheared but a 6-8mm bolt below the nut. I will get a 15/16 socket to see how it works. Thanks for the info

Ebay listing They have a number of other filters that will work aswell.

As Scrit said read the Bill Pentz website. I am at present building a cyclone but in the interim I am using a 3HP dual bag system. I have replaced the lower bags with plastic and used gaffer tape to prevent leakage from the bags. I bought two pleated 20 m2 filters that filter to .5 micron and...

Ray the first time this came up on the ozzie site was early 2005 or late 2004 from what I can remember. It was about the time that B&Q went big on Triton. The problem was the elect*** paint used - it was the Hills time at Triton( Hills is a large Ozzie company that bought out the Triton inventor...

Sniffy the marking coming off the fence arm was a known problem and if you contacted Colin at Tritons office in Wales he sent you a new set. B&Q appeared to get a batch of the bad arms and just waited for the customers to complain and gave them another set that usually also had the same problem...

I bought a sealy pillar drill on Ebay a few weeks back and am get down to using it. Works well and has a table that can be tilted in both directions. My problem is that there is bolt with a sheared head that looks like it might have been the method to set the table and there is also a 15/16"...

No problems either

My saw has sat in my workcentre and has not been removed for 18 months and is used at least 3 days a week with no problems. Early saws had a problem with their switches which was fixed about 18 months ago. B&Q had stock that predated the fix. Before buying I checked with the website for the...

You need both a vacuum and a dust extractor. The table saw, thicknesser and band saw do best with an extractor. The mitre saw and the router out of the table could use either. The sanders would do best with a vacuum. The router in the table is best handled by an extractor. I started off by...
