I posted a link to a 5A mains adapter a couple of posts back ( actually it's a 7A ) but will work fine for this vac. Brian... why did you removed the filter cloth ?

I do believe you should only use it for 20 minutes MAX at a time and then let it rest for a couple. That's what it said in the manual anyway. I turn mine off every time I stop my scroll saw when I move my blade to start a new internal cut, seems to do a good job for me that way and it doesn't...

Well I returned the FAKE 120w 12v vacuum cleaner which was actually only 75w. Hate it when sellers exaggerate :x But I did purchase one of these adapters so I have the option of using it with my mains electric if I want...

These 12v vacuums are not the same size as the Henry's and Hetty's, these are much smaller measuring only 20cm diameter and 24cm high and are very quiet but powerful enough to suck up your sawdust from what you are working, even if it is only 75w. Not quite your industrial vacuum but good enough...

Well the so called 120w vacuum arrived this morning and as suspected it's NOT 120w as stated in their advert, it ONLY 75w so I'll be sending it back. I did say to hold off purchasing the 120w until I check it out. Anyway I'm very disappointed that they exaggerated the power of this one.

Another beautiful piece of intarsia art, Simple but effective. I'm SOooo new to scroll sawing and still only trying my hand at some simple name plates for my kids bedroom doors while I get used to my machine but I'm looking forward to trying some intarsia projects soon and hope they turn out...

Watch this YouTube clip and at 1 min 53sec it will show you the inside of the bucket. There is no real filter, just a dust cloth. In the second YouTube clip at 5min 30sec it shows you someone sucking up a big puddle from the back of his car ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggQnMAvLOUk...

I'm looking into it at the moment and will get back to you on that. You will need a 12v mains power adapter which you can get quite cheaply but I don't think the continuous AMP rating is high enough on the regular ones. Most regular 12v adapters are rated at about 600ma to 1.2A but according to...

Texas scrollsaw massacre.... not quite sure how that would work ? maybe cut some script text into the jugular vein !! A middle "C" I do believe.

Adding a cyclone is a little OTT I think. The 12v vacuum is basically just a small bucket with a suction motor on top, no filters to change/clean or bag changing, just undo 3 clips and empty. It also sucks up water and has an attachment that plugs into the top which then turns it into an...

Hi, I purchased it via eBay. Just search for a 12v vacuum cleaner + buy it now + lowest price first + UK only I think the cheapest is about £8.50 which will be the yellow 60w version but I think there are some others similar which are stated as 90w and there is a grey coloured one which states...

Got my scroll saw setup in my 8ft x 8ft shed which has 250w solar panels and 250Ah battery bank in it so it's perfect for me to help reduce my scroll saw dust and sanding dust. I'm just small scale using a few electric hand saws and a dremel. The vacuum is powerful enough to suck up all of the...

Well I had a blade break on me for the first time and I must say that it scared the bejesus out of me ! I've read and watched people on YouTube say that it needs to be tensioned until it sound like a "C" note. Someone else said that it needs to have about 1/8" movement from side to side which is...

Hi, I'm still getting set up with all of my scrollsaw hobby equipment and came across this little hoover after hunting for a quiet vacuum cleaner to connect to my Hegner and to clean up the sawdust in my shed. It's a 12v wet/dry car vacuum cleaner which is ideal for me because I can run it off...

I swear I had seen some Birch cutting boards in my local £1 shop recently, going to have to double check now.
