dust extraction from a Planer / Thicknesser

[kmcleod]

HELP,,,,,

I have a Dewalt DW733 Thicknesser - great piece of gear and does exactly what it says on the tin - HOWEVER, it fills up the shop vacumn in about 5 mins, so I spend more time emptying the vac than I do thicknessing....

So I thought,,,get one of those bin lids with the two hose attachements,,,,only problem,,,,there doesn't seem to be enough vacumn pressure to keep the flow into the bin,,,,so I think I need a cyclone...

Now as I a - dont have the time, b, dont have the knowledge it looks like I'm going to have to buy on,,,

Any suggestions / ideas,,,,or am I heading to Onieda ???

Thanks,,,,

With all these type you can get a small amount of fine dust through the bag but if in other room or enclosure no problem.

Hmm,,,that would be a good soution,,,,if I had the space....

my 'workshop' is a single garage, that also doubles as storage for my wifes car, so cannot go for a large extractor...hence why the idea of the shop vacumn, connected to a cyclone, connected to a bin,,,,I get the volume, but when done it will all pack away,,,,

The search continues....
