Dust extractor again!

[gasmansteve]

Hi all
Think I really should get some dust extraction in the shop and wondered what folk thought about this
http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp? ... e=1&jump=0
and the Record RSDE1 both about the same price ish?.
Don`t think I need anything super duper as I only use 1 piece of kit at a time and would be nice to just unplug the extractor from one then plug into the other as and when or anyone suggest any others please?.They advertise as suitable down to 0.5 microns would that be ok for sanding?
Cheers
Steve

Steve,
The machine in your link will only filter down to 0.5 micron if you also have the fine filter. This filter restricts the air flow through the machine. So you won`t get the air flow as stated with this machine with this filter fitted.
That said, i have it`s big brother, the 2200, with the fine filter, & find it superb. You really need to stick to 100mm hose with this kind of machine as reducing the hose size adversely affects it`s performance.
