Anyway  this is the vac which may be found cheaper possibly but unlikely in this country

Afternoon All


I was looking for a dust extractor / vacuum a couple of months ago, tried to find the Bosch that Andy uses but the UK prices are well, pricey.


So I tried this https://www.cleva-uk.com/products/vacmaster-multi-20-pto


And have been really pleased. Its wet and dry, can be used as regular vacuum and has a PTO. I've been using it with my Proxxon bandsaw, it powers up with the bandsaw, and runs 5s after the bandsaw is stopped. I ordered spare bags but not needed them so far. At £70, its a bargain.


Best regards
David.

Agreed excellent value

I looked at vacs a while back and thought that the type of vac required depended on the type of dust being produced.
So, Class L, M and H where H is for hardwoods (and MDF i think) and L/M for softer woods.

Obviously, the cost of the vac goes up the finer the dust.

Andy's is Class L but this one is not classified - so, just a home vac - or am i missing something? (still a good price for a home vac tho!).

Cheers,
Mark

Hi Mark


I suspect that you absolutely correct. I did pick up a set of these filters to go with the vac and they'rethe bags I use.

And they've been doing a great job so far. I needed a general purpose machine rather than full on workshop.

And of course this has the Power Take Off, so the vacuum switches on and off with the workshop tool being used. Ie bandsaw.

Best regards
David.

In my days working in the material conveying industry, when close to the end of the companies life, we built industrial versions of the FOX, the type seen if you put workshop dust extractor in a web search engine, but when the boss of the pheonix company (i.e. rose from the ashes of the parent company) I joined, wanted to get a dust extractor for the shed we were working in, he chose to do a youtube version he had seen, it removed the large lumps from entering the standard henry he had, it worked reasonably well, if thats what your after then youtube has quite a few i.e.

this allows the home hoover to be used without damaging it - that was the purpose he built one, it became more effective when the old company henry came into his possession, that being more powerful
