dust extraction

[PAC1]

If there are no or small amounts of shavings, you may be able to use a HPLV system like the Record/Camvac/Yorkleen. If you can seal the underside of the table saw then these would be worth thinking about. They work if they can create an effective vacuum. It will have the flexibility to do both power tools and the machines you list.
The downside is these are noisy and not good if the end is open as it will be for a chop saw.

only thing the vacuum extractor does not except a 4" hose for 350s extraction port
anyone got a model i can aim for even out of my price bracket?

One here: http://www.axminster.co.uk/numatic-nvd7 ... r-ax782721

I bought a 100mm extraction point as a spare from the above and fitted it to my vacuum extractor, not a difficult job, the only thing with all of those and my own is you can't use a waste bag with them, so they have to be manually cleaned out, defeats the object of bag collection with MDF dust.

try Yorkleen http://yorkleen.co.uk
Their WV150 is 31p over budget

IMO only 70L/sec that is the equivalent of 252M3/hr that is too low to be very good, especially with only the single motor, but that is only my opinion, testing my Numatic with twin 1200watt motors I get 400M3/hr even though the spec says different.

IMO don't go there single motor and only 70L/sec that is the equivalent of 252M3/hr would not suck a skin off a rice pudding, but that is only my opinion.

Mike

But Mike, the one you suggested is only an extra 50m3 per hour but us double the budget is the 50m3 going to make the difference?

That's the problem with being quoted, I changed my post to be a bit more diplomatic, as I have said in my revised post, my Numatic gives 400M3/hr even though the spec says only 300M3/Hr, you just can't trust the figures. LOL

Wow, rare for it to be that way around, usually quoted figure is unachievable in the real world!

Hi
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?

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.

Glad you got around to it. =D> : a-guide-to-dust-extraction-t101204.html
