Dust collection thoughts

[markturner]

I have recently got a spindle moulder and its in a separate part of my workshop, quite a way from the old sheppach half horsepower extractor I use for the bandsaw. Which is not great anyway.....I do have a Festool CTL26 which does all the small power tools.

Looking at workshop extractors, they are big money and I am chewing over ways to maybe do it cheaper. I found these for sale: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/26320436...t+j640z6007kXiSn9/qQ+k8g==|tkp:Bk9SR-qhuevrZA

My thinking was at that price, I could buy 2 or 3 and have one by each machine, saving on ducting and blastgates. They look to be easily emptied as well......

Thoughts?

This style of extractor is very noisy

I could put up with that for the short amount of time the machines will be running, if they do the job......?

I don't know how much a spindle moulder puts out. I find it fills fast using the thicknesser. I have a charnwood version. Suits my needs. I would like something quieter though
