That's possibly an illusion of the wide angle lens. The ports on the Oneida Dust Deputy are 2". Adapters (I think from Oneida but can't remember for sure) let me fix a 50mm Festool hose from the cyclone outlet to the extractor. Identical adapters let me fix either of the Festool 27 or 36mm hoses...

Variation on a theme. I use a metal Oneida Dust Deputy (bought on holiday in Canada) on top of a steel crock pot and slide the combo into a frame that can sit on the floor or lock onto the top of my Festool extractor, like a systainer does. To empty, I take outside and either put onto my compost...

Thanks, those suggestions look promising.

Thanks, I’d found that one already, but it’s not a smoothed rounded bellmouth, which I think is the whole point of trying to achieve maximum efficiency of airflow. I’m looking for around 140 / 150mm, ideally plastic as in the example above.

It's been asked before but not for some time and I suspect the answer is there aren't any, though I hope to be corrected. I'm looking for retail suppliers where I can pick up a sheet or two at a time. Ashley Timber in South Shields are good but so far I've found nowhere north of them. By 'north...

Yes, this was the first thing I checked and then gave it all a good clean and ensured everything was moving freely.

Keeping options open.

Yes, I realise, hence the price. Possibly more attractive for someone based further north.

Thanks for your comments. It's most probably a do-able fix for someone, but just too big a project for me. I have minimal electrical knowledge and even the mechanics of extracting and replacing the motor in this heavy machine are beyond what I am confident of attempting.

This is my Hammer A3-31 planer thicknesser (single phase), new in 2008, kept in my dry workshop and used for hobby purposes. It has the 3-knife quick-change, self-setting cutterblock system 310mm. The machine is in good condition and has worked well until recently, but currently it will not...
