Hi I am in the same position. Which did you get in the end ? The lowest spec wide belt doent have a platen as it is only two rollers (one above the other) and not three as in widebelts with a platen between the two lower ones (as in the other two spec ones they sell - both 3 phase). The wide...

Hi Chaps At the moment I am doing dado type joints with my cnc machine for MDF making small boxes trays etc and also using a v bit for mitres. Can I get better (stronger) joints like mitre lock etc with my CNC machine (as normal mitre lock have to be inverted and on edge). Need to be able to...

Any ideas on how to combat the static build up on home made cyclones?

I imagine the problem with that is if there is no paddle or shaker the filter clogs very quickly?

It is for the small table. I have a 500m3 vac on it at the moment and its not enough grunt to keep the dust drawn down. It says on the spec for it it needs at least 1000m3 per hour.

Im on an industrial estate, three sides are other units and the open side is mainly shutters and windows and not near the work area. Plus a kids play group in unit opposite (can see a law suit waiting to happen there if I vented MDF dust outside ! :))

its for a down draft table. I have just emailed steve at onia air. Though their cyclone systems seem a similar price to the axminster ones. The axminster ones though seem to have better filter cleaning.

The main problem I am coming up against is most extractors rated level 4 are just the vacuum type and don't shift anywhere near the air I need.

Outside is not really an option as one an industrial estate and would get "disappeared" from travelling friends very quickly

No just for my lungs, using a downdraft table to sand finished mdf, need and extractor that can filter it and not just spread it about.

Thanks Simon I dont want the massive 3 phase shaker types, it has to be a 16 Amp type. I thought a 1 micron would do by seems not. ?

OK Guys I need an extractor that does at least 1000m3 an hour but can cope with sanded MDF. According to Axminster they only have one model that does this and its over 1K. Any other ideas , they only rate the other ones as for chippings or sawdust even with a 1 micron filter. Any Ideas. Ian
