Dewalt Dust Extractors

[Noogoot]

Does anyone have any experience with DW's dust extractors? Are they suitable for MDF dust? Thanks.

Hi Noogoot

Welcome to the forum.

I'm sorry that I can't answer your question as I only have experience of Trend and CamVac.

Cheers

The old Elu machine they used to make is excellent with really good filtrtaion and low noise level.
The new/ current range in my opinion is a case of high price becauese of the brand, The machines are really pretty basic, very noisey and far too expensive for what they offer.
I cant comment on the level of filtration but I would be surprised if its anything but average.
I would suggest better value and performance with Bosch, trend or some of the other well known brands.
I would also urge you to think seriously about getting a machine with a low db rating, I promise you will be glad you did so.

Hi Rob,

Think the Trend extractor with fine filter would be good for mdf dust from routers etc, or the camvac, record or axminster type sealed extractors like these http://www.axminster.co.uk/pf_id//jump/ ... 208040.htm, but I think they are all pretty noisy !

Hope the saw is ok !

Cheers, Paul

Hi

Bought the trend in the end and despite a long wait for delivery from powertool direct, I'm delighted with it. Thanks for the advice.

Cheers
