Thanks. The router forum (DOH) so obvious. oh looks like the Router forum isnt part of this website.

Camvac all set up, really pleased with it. Its not too noisy, collects the dust well. Very happy.

Hi Im looking at possibly getting the Bosch 1400 router, like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-POF-1400 ... 816EFPQZ6E Need to keep the costs down Im only using it to make keyhole slots at the moment, so hopefully not a tricky job for it. Some people say the plunge part isnt that smooth...

ok thanks, Ive ordered a CamVac 36L, see how that goes.

Do you do any dust collection from the top? (mine has a dust port at the bottom too)

Thanks for that. So you use a Miele for scroll saw? be interested to see how that's rigged up?

Thats like saying ride your new motor cycle around for a while to see if you like it, before buying a crash helmet. A standard vacuum cleaner may not extract enough or the size of dust that causes illness. Thanks but i'd rather approach safety a bit more seriously to start with.

Hi Just about to start using my new (and 1st ever) scroll saw in a small space in the garage. I am undecided on how to deal with the potential dangerous dust I will make. I have watched many videos and youtube advise articles, from dust extractors to shop vacs to different face masks combos...

great info thanks Pete. Ive got things to work on now

Thanks inspector, The noise thing isn't a problem for me, as im in a garage, its me being considerate to my neighbours. Would be very interested in the soundproof closet, i can give that a bit of space. I can make something, but im trying to find out how much air it actually needs, don't want to...

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Thats a BIG sucker!! OK so I'm going to try and find something with a bigger hose, and a class M extractor (i don't know if the 'class' system is universal, class L, M, H) Is this one unless for me (Scroll saw hard wood) as its 5 microns...

Thanks for fabulous replies, really appreciate the effort. Whilst i know you cant put a price on your health, i cant drop £500 on a dust extractor. I need a cheaper solution. I also considered a mask, take a look at this one. What do you think? Could you have this instead...

Thanks Inspector for your detailed reply. I'm in the UK, 2hp 1hp, is that horse power? Do you have a link to something? Also i am a home user, not a commercial workshop, so its really for this one device. I don't know if this is classed as a 'vaccum' type...

HI Do you know what size dust we are creating with our scroll saws? I need to think about some sort of dust extraction system. Some are listed as class L or class M, some state dust to 1 micron or 0.5 microns (some only say dust to 30 microns). Also some are 1200w some are 500w. Never having...

Any other feedback on that appreciated.
