There is no single solution that covers power tools and machinery - especially on a budget. Some options come close, but there are always compromises. One major factor is what type of machinery you have?
For tools, I use the Titan vac from screwfix. It has a power socket in it, so you can plug in a tool, and the vac starts and stops with the tool. £55

In short, assuming by "budget" you mean very little then no I don't think anyone can. If it is just power tools then there are any number of wet 'n' dry style options that start for little money (I have one from Lidl that does a reasonable job). But if by machinery you mean things like a PT then you need a wholly different type of extraction.
If I were you I would search the forum for dust extraction, you will find a lot of threads covering any question you could reasonably have.

PS even in my limited experience of UKW this is a very regular question, is there merit in the mods picking a good thread on extraction and making it a sticky somewhere?

Perhaps we could all collate or collective knowledge into an faq
the titans are insanely loud compared to the henry and just feels cheaply made..the only a advantage is the power-take off , I have never needed a wet vac so I can't comment on whatever it's really advantage.
I do not think you can get a better extraction than cheap used henry which is pretty quiet and will last for decades, bags are 25p each as well that is if you aren't bothered to clean them out. will cover all of your powertools and you will thank me later that you now have rather quiet dust extraction.
If you need it for Planer, than obviously you need whole different extraction.

Well yes - the Henry hoovers are only half as powerful, so they're bound to be quieter. Personally, I'd rather have the extra power...

I've got a titan and have found it to be great as a shop vac and fine dust extractor for small power tools and the chop saw. Power take off is extremely useful and now I am used to it I wouldn't want to be without it. Definitely much noisier than than the Henry we have in the house though. I also think that the hose could be better in that it is a bit narrow and insubstantial. A great all rounder for the money though.

The record bins have large and small hose fittings i thought would be a all rounder
guess i am wrong?
thanks for yor replys

Afraid that yes you are wrong, if you have the range of machinery is as I indicated in my initial response. Nobody can help you unless you put a bit more effort into explaining what you situation is, tools you are using, etc.

Have a read of this-
http://knowledge.axminster.co.uk/buying ... xtractors/
It's important that you understand which type of extraction works the best with which type of machine and also what type of work you will be doing, but at the end of the day, any extraction is better than none and if all you can afford is a small vac, then at least you are stopping some of the dust at source. If you are inventive, you can improve your work environment without too much outlay.

An excellent suggestion. I've had the same thought before and started cobbling together an introductory guide (although I myself am by no means an authority on the subject). I'll try and dig it out later and see what people think.

HI,
what do you think of these for extractions for a table saw , bandsaw, mitre saw, morticer, http://www.yandles.co.uk/record-power-c ... tor/p20373
powertools router, planer, sander, biscuit joiner http://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb351v ... 240v/56239
basicaly i have £200 for both
any feedback would be much appreciated

How big is the table saw and bandsaw? Do you intend to buy a planer/thicknesser?
As for the power tools hoover life is easier with an extractor with a built in power point otherwise switching both on quickly gets boring.

HI
I have a kity 419 table saw , bs350s bandsaw,
I don't plan on a thicknesser
many thanks

Going by what you wish to extract from:
The Kity 419 is basically the same as the Axminster TS200 which is a smaller version of the Axminster TS250, all of these have open undersides that deposit sawdust on the floor, the first option is to control this at source, this may interest you: axminster-ts-250-upgrading-base-and-dust-extraction-t99592.html.
The BS 350 bandsaw according to what blade you have fitted will generally produce sawdust of the same size as the Kity 419, both of these machines could be accommodated by a good vacuum extractor, but at your budget it will be difficult to get something new with the required power.
Don't trust any manufacture that does not quote the M3/hr figures for their products, whatever extraction requirements quoted for you machines, at least double that figure for the extractor you are going to buy.
