Numatic Henry Vacuum

[user 19915]

Just a quick question or two i have been given a Numatic Henry Vacuum as i was wondering if they are any good for the work shop regarding dust collection and do you use them with a bag or with out

I use one with the Hepa bags for general clean up, it's fine. I've used it on a sander before I got my CTL-Midi and it was good, though the hose needs a small plastic "joiner" which adds to the bulk of the nozzle- I guess this could make it problematic for some tools, but it's pretty quiet.

I also stuck a magic tree above the cloth filter and now it smells like vanilla when I clean up!

They are excellent for workshop, have mine for the mitre saw and sander and just general cleanup.. You would be mad to use it without the bags tho. They Are cheap as chips , are really large size and are hepa.

, should last you a lifetime as I usually just re-use mine at least 2-3x before i suck up something nasty and throw them away without emptying.

i inherited an old henry with my workshop 12 years ago, unlike the guys above i dont use bags, we did at first but henrys fill up quick & the bags would often burst or tear, we did get a bag that could be opened & reused but quickly abandoned that, 12 years on and its still in use everyday without bags just the drop in filter, it gets emptied at lest once a week & sucks up everything in its path.

as a small works vac i dont think they can be beaten.
