Thread: Small shop vac/dust extractor recommendations

I have a Makita vc4210m. No complaints. Much better filtration than my old ryobi unit from bunnings as you'd expect. They make a smaller version that might be better suited to your space.

I chose the Bosch system. GAS 35L L-class. I’ve been using it a lot for about 18 months, and I think it’s a great setup. Come up on sale from time to time. I think I paid ~$700.

I’m in the Bosch system, with sander, jigsaw, plunge router, and I’ve found it to be excellent. Mostly plug and play, great extraction, you can upgrade to M-class hepa filters if you like. I use the fleece bags, which are cost a bit, but work terrific, and very easy and clean to change over. I also use it as a floor vac.

Not sure it’d do much for a table saw. I’ve got a cabinet saw with 3hp dust collector and 6 inch pipes. I wouldn’t run big machines without it. However, I’d it’s a small contractor saw that’s used infrequently, you’ll be able to catch some of the chips/dust by connecting an extractor to an enclosed blade guard.
