Thread: dusty help

I have a Jet dusty and it is very good. The $100.00 is only the start . You will find as the end date comes closer the price will escalate quite rapidly. I suggest you get onto a site selling Jet such as http://gpwoodturning.yahoostore.com.au/ and compare the price.

If I could pick it up I'd throw in a bid myself - gotta be worth a look!

Stirlo,

Depending on the diameter of the hose, you could pay anything from $20 to $40 per metre. The dusty in question more than likely has an 80mm, 100mm or 120mm outlet. We sell these diameter hoses for $29, $35, and $40 per metre respectively. Shop around though.....

Stirlo,

this is my new dusty
http://www.timbecon.com.au/details/p...tor-13037.aspx

I got it for about $140 at the working with wood show. i got about 4m of flexible 100mm hose and two hoseclamps with it for an extra $30

http://www.timbecon.com.au/products/...ies-493_2.aspx

this dust extractor pulls 914cfm which is a lot more than the sherwood equivalent to your one on ebay which only pulls 600cfm. Im making a cyclone unit out of 2 x 200ltr drums costing $22 each and getting some downpipe to extend the system, will be cutting up the flexible hose for joints to the machines

I'm also looking into dust collectors at the moment. I have looked at Jet, but their DC1100 & 1900 only come with thin 30 micron bags. You can buy 5 micron cloth bags or 2 micron canisters, but this adds to the cost. At the moment I am thinking about a carbatec CT-002V, made in Taiwain dusty, 2 hp, 2000 cfm, dual bags with standard 5 microns bags.

Yup.

Chalk one up for the imperial lovin' dinosaurs.
Correct metric term is 'cubic metres per hour', but CFM seems to have stuck.

New price for that model Jet Dusty is around $350. So around $100 is a reasonable used price. It's only a 650cfm model, so only 1 machine at a time.

You can buy a starter hose kit from Carbatec for around $80-90.

it went for $199.50

i think i'll just save up a bit more and get one at the show

G'day Stirlo,

I know for a little bloke like yourself that the dollars aren't so easy to come by, but if you can, save a bit longer for a 2HP unit. Just an idea. but then maybe you will only need a 1HP Dusty to hook up to your lathe and nothing else.
