Chipping extractor?

[jhwbigley]

Right I need a chipping extractor for my planer Thicknesser

i might be starting my Garage doors in 3 weeks, and theres alot of machining to do :shock:

I've got my other extractor set up with my Table saw and Radial arm saw

how big an extractor would i need?

Something like this perhaps?

Axminster AWEDE? Should not need emptying too often and not be too noisy.

If you have the room go for the bigger ADE2200 (on offer at the mo).
I have one and it sucks like Devine Brown :lol:
You'll be grateful for the larger sacks as it won't take long to fill one up if you're prepping a lot of timber.

the ADE2200 looks the business, would be great for when i one day have a spindle moulder. i probly could get away with AWEDE. I have been looking second hand, but nothings nearby :evil:

That Record CX2600 is not a bad machine; almost on a par with the Axminster ADE1200 I own. If you're setting up to run an efficient business though, I'd highly recommend you go for an extractor with greater collection capacity in the lower bag. I only use mine in my spare time and, even then, it fills up far to quickly for my liking - bags full of shavings everywhere!!

The airflow is also about the minimum that Axminster would recommend for use with a planer thicknesser (among other machines). This may be okay with a 10in. wide thicknesser but, if yours is 12" wide or more then, you really would benefit from going with a bigger extractor.

Have you considered using a courier for eBay items which are too far away? RogerS recently got a Sedgwick planer/thicknesser from North to South for about £70, if I remember that correctly... Have a look in the Projects forum! :wink:

have you thought of using a cyclone or a dustbin expander to deal with that problem - we use the dustbinb expander at work and just swap bins when one gets full - makes for easy emptying into the compost heap or wherever

thanks Olly, is was looking at the record mainly because of the price! but your right, it is a bit small for my 12" pt.

i might try ringing up a few firms if i see anything on ebay, dust extractors shouldn't be to heavy!

how much airflow do i need?

i wont try using my old RSDE1, i've nearly killed the thing already :lol:

Hi John-Henry,

I cannot say for certain as I have only previously queried Axminster about 10in. thicknessers. But, I reckon you'd be looking for nothing less than 1,500m³/hour, if not more. Obviously, the more that you can get, the better!

Again, using the ADE2200 as an example, you can have two runs of 100mm pipe or one 150mm pipe - that would better suit your spindle moulder, if you went for an old Wadkin, for example. Otherwise, on a large bandsaw, you could have one hose going below the guides, the other collecting from the base of the machine. :wink:

I've seen this model appear on eBay many times; it really is a question of when and where. You also see a lot of old, large extractors (Elektra Beckum, for one) but, the sellers often neglect to state the specification initially.
