Long story short:
I was impatiently waiting for the new Axminster AT330ST planer to be restocked but I noticed that the specs say: Min Extraction Airflow Required: 1,000 m³/hr

My plan is to build a small dust extraction system using my industrial vacuum cleaner by adding a DIY cyclone dust collector and 100mm pipes along the walls of my garage. The air current of the vacuum cleaner is 61l/s which is somewhere around 220m³/hr and hose diameter is 35mm.

The question is...
Is is posibble?
Or is a dedicated extractor my only choice? (floor space would be a problem and being a hobby toymaker I can´t really imagine spending extra money on one)
 
Anyone? I don´t expect perfect extraction. I would not use the planer daily. I´d plane a certain amount of boards at one time and then put it away. I just don´t want it to clot.
