Axminster Dust Extractor WV1000P

[neilricketts]

Hiya, I am thinking of buying this Dust Extractor http://www.axminster.co.uk/category-Vac ... 793841.htm Do any of you know if it would suitable for connecting up to the big 18" Charnwood Bandsaw or is it underpowered has i fear it might be although axminster do claim that it is suitable for bandsaws and planer thicknessers. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Cheers Neil

Hi Neil,
I've no experience of this one, but I have the ADE1200 which my entire extraction system is running off and I can't rate it highly enough. It's more or less the same price as the WV1000P, only thing is it would take up a bit more room. TBH looking at the specs, it looks like the WV1000P would do the job with your bandsaw. HTH

i looked at the same one when down at the axminster store, guy there advised that for a planer / thicknesser i'd be better off with the double motored (2000w) :

from experience now i know he was right, when using the p/t i always have both motors running and it works a treat

Sorry to the OP for hijacking his thread, but can I ask DangerousDave a quick question.

I to have the ADE1200 and in the process of plumbing it in, to reach my BS I need to run ducting up one wall, across the ceiling and down the other wall to the machine (approx 10 metres), has the ADE1200 enough sucktion to handle this run?

Regards Gary

Hi Gary, I have the ADE1200 plumbed into a 63mm system. I've run mine along 1 wall for jointer and thicknesser and up across the ceiling to TS, bandsaw and router fence on the other side of the shop;

It works a treat, the ADE1200 has more than enough suction no probs at all. The only thing you'll have to do is remove the metal grill thing that covers the hole going to the impeller (it's at the top of the black flexible pipe under the motor). If you don't do this it gets blocked at this point when planing/thicknessing. I used a metal cutting blade in a jigsaw, twas a bit fiddly. HTH
