Thread: Cyclone Dust Extraction available in Australia/Brisbane

Major Woodworking in Sydney have several different cyclones as well. They all work to some degree but the CV is univesally regarded as the best. You will also gain quite a few advantages buying a cyclone that like the CV can run on 240V THREE phase which using a VFD can be powered by a single phase supply.

If you've got the budget to get the clearvue, definitely go for it.

Everyone that i know that has one, has no regrets. Just need to do something about the noise or your neighbours will.

As Chris says, they are the best unit around particularly for a home user, there are bigger industrial units around, but we're talking $5k+ price range and designed for very large workshops.

The only thing stopping me from getting one initially was height restrictions, where my DC is currently located its max height is just shy of 2m, believe the clearvue needs something like 2.4m

you really need to find out what sized impellors are in the sherwood and carbatec models. I sent and email off to timbcon and i don't remember getting a reply. The C flux will at least state that is has a 15" impellor.

I'm tossing up about getting a C-flux at the moment as i'm height restricted in my shop so i'll will be a mission getting a clearvue in there, the clearvue was $3750 when i priced it up, but i had to collect it from sydney (2 hours away) price obvisouly goes up if i wanted it delieverd

Just for clarity CV are in Brisbane, CV was in Sydney when I sold them. To reinforce the point I would not buy a dust extractor of any kind if it was not 3 phase, either 415 or 240V to suit the user as it offers so many advantages such as variable speed and low current draw during start up with unlimited starts per hour within reason.

Sorry newbie at this stuff but would my dewalt 38l dust extractor suffice as a dust extractor for a table /panel saw? Just for the time being untill I purchase a proper one? Apologies for asking is here thread.

Thanks

If you accept that it has very limited ability as a dust extractor then it is better than nothing.
