I have built 2 mini cyclones for my vacuum cleaner based system and they work far better than the vacuum on their own The vacuum based systems work better on power tools and belt sanders but are not so good on router tables and planers etc. The vacuum systems also fail when you are trying to...

You need at least 100mm but if you read Bill's site he recommends starting with 6" reducing to 5" and finally 4" I am at present completing running 110mm soil pipe around my garage but have used blastgates at each outlet so that I can control the flow.

I built 2 cyclone vacuum based units and an at present converting a single 1.5 length garage to a 4" soil pipe ducted system. It takes time as most of my equipment does not have 4" outlets so i have to modify each to suit. It requires a heat gum and PVC pipe ( I new skill to me - but I am...

Thanks Chris

I bought a cheap W2000 vacuum from e bay and made a mini cyclone using a plastic bucket attached to a 60litre drum in which I put a black bag to catch the dust. ( The design was from the Australian woodworking site) It uses a funnel at the bottom of the plastic bucket, a 90 degree 38mm waste...

Its a panel door and I was about to veneer the other side when I noticed the bow and tested in the cupboard. Thanks

I have some 18mm ply that I veneered for a cupboard door and on checking before fitting it has bowed slightly. Should I scrap it and start again or can I fix it?? I would have scrapped it but the veneer matches the panels on each side Any ideas please.

I am looking for a 2HP dust extractor that I can use to make a Cyclone . My requirements are a 2HP induction motor & 12" impellor with the blades sloping backwards & made of steel. I would prefer the motor & impellor case to be mounted on the base rather than pole mounted. Any ideas?? Thanks in...

Has anybody on the list been able to get discounts at Charnwood? I know they sell to small shops at a discount

They are being sold on Ebay for £150 to £175 (new) The one a bought had B&Q bar codes on it and was new & not opened.

The saga continues. there were no indication on the motor as to its size so i got a mate to test it for mr. It was supposed to be a 1500W(2HP) motor. The test showed it was a 1100W (1.5HP) motor. Called Lynhurst and was told that there could have been a box fixup and they would call me back...

Thanks I hope I get it sorted

Just started to assemble my dust extractor and I am disappointed. On unpacking 3 of the bag support poles are rusting and the manual is poor but above the chinese instruction level. They supplied hex spanners but replaced all the hex screws with bolts. The assembly diagrams do not show what...

There is an e mail being sent out in Ebay's name (similar to the ones that come from the bank scam) that Ebay wants your debit/bank card details to help prevent goods being paid with false/stolen credit cards. Be warned!

I paid a visit to Lyndhurst on Saturday afternoon. Getting 99% of the way was easy as it was well sign posted. The road down to the site is between a row of semi's and is easily missable. A very rundown old set of factory buildings with a notice on the door saying back in 15 minutes...

I placed an order online with Screwfix and offset a £10 voucher against it. On receiving the invoice the voucher had not been applied. Called Srewfix and was told it would be credited to my credit card. Credit card statement arrived today - no credit. called them again - sorry sir we cannot...

I thought of paying a visit next week.

I did not buy BT but Phillips and found that if a non DECT was connected to the line as well there were problems and hiss. My problem was also that their was an alarm auto dialler attached as well. Discounted and non DECT device and it work very well. Hope this helps

In the computer supply industry this happens all the time. It usually takes about 5 days and the credit is passed to your credit card.
