I saved the flooring from being burnt for fire wood. The pieces are about 90x50 and managed to get about 35 lenghts at 3m long, they were all about 12m long but sadly had to cut them into 1/3 to...

To be honest save up your money and get a decent dust extrator eg 1300cfm, can get them for about $300 and will never regret it. Using a vacum cleaner on the Triton I found was a waste of time and...
