Thread: Suitable vacuum power?

What I did when faced with a similar problem was to convert your Triton dust bucket into a Sturdee cyclone bucket.

The main reason that I wasn't (and I suspect you aren't) getting enough suck was not the power of the vac, but the clogging of the filter. I find that the cyclone works a treat and that the little amounts of fine stuff that gets through to my very underpowered Pye (remember them) takes about three busy weeks to clog the filter enough to warrant cleaning.

Thanks Jeremy
I will take a look at the link you mentioned

Did take a look today at the PULLMAN 15 litre 'Janitor' but really guess work without trying one or getting some recommendations from those using this extraction method

Hi, I dont know if I will be much help but, I am using a Vax vacuum which seems to work really well at the suction over tool (machine) on both workcentre and router table and when Im finished I disconnect it and vacuum work areas ( it has dust collection bag and 2 inbuilt filters so no dust gets through) You can probably pickup a secondhand unit.

Thanks Swoody, will be hopefully doing the rounds of the stores in the next few days.... I see online that Vax have a industrial type unit
