I’ve read lots of posts around dust extraction and collection but none seem to be able answer my own specific needs, so here goes…

I’m looking to collect/extract dust from the following which are all set up in my attic:

Dewalt Table Saw - 57/65mm nozzle at rear with a reducer to 34-40mm. Also 35mm/Airlock at the crown guard (not fitted). I have the saw sat on an ‘open’ movable cart.

Trend WRT Router Table (and trend router) - 57mm dust nozzle on the fence. Again currently not boxed in or anything.

Axminster AW1950B Band Saw - 63mm port.

Dewalt DW733 Thicknesser - 101mm port and supplied reducer to 62.5mm.

In addition I have a random or orbital sander, track saw and mitre saw which are dust generators!

I currently move my titan wet/dry vac around with a centec hose and attachments to connect to the various tools.

It’s inconvenient using it for all tools and I think the dust collection on my table saw and router table could be greatly improved.

So my plan was to buy a second dust extractor/collector, and probably something better suited to the two biggest generators of dust. If this can also help with the thicknesser then even better.

I am getting steered towards a twin motor medium record power camvac. Would this be the best type of extractor for my tools?

I know I can improve the dust situation on the band saw by attaching a hose directly under the table and closer to the blade. Same with the router table, if I enclose the trend table that will stop dust going everywhere when routing without the fence.

Finally would an air filter work ‘ok’ sat on the floor rather than the ceiling?

Am I making the right decisions here?
