Thread: Dust extractors again

Paul

Thanks for your response

I had a quick look at the Hare and Forbes. I take it that you still have to have a DE and instead of the bag on the DE a hose links it into the box. Would I be right?

How did the guy in Tassie have his hooked up? A 1hp side bag DE that trapped all dust would be great as long as it is easy to empty.

I like Bruce's idea of have the PVC piping instead of the corrugated flexible pipe.

Greg,

From my understanding, there is an 1100W motor on the end of the box that draws the air in so it is a self contained DE, no need for another unit.

The one in Tassie had his lathe set in the mddle of his space with the DE under a bench to his right, at right angles to the lathe. A 4inch flex hose ran to the back of the lathe and rested on the edge of the banjo via a cable tie. It's a bit hard to explain but it looked really simple.
