Dust Extraction Kit

[CornishWoodworker]

Thought I would reduce amount of debris having to be swept up after working.
Looking at 63mm system(small workshop), I came across complete pipework , joints and blast gates to begin a basic system from Rutland's. At £69.99 less a bank holiday discount of 15% Inc free next day delivery. This is someway cheaper than most other suppliers of same kit(£115).
As I install system and come up with innovative ! Ways of final connection at minimal cost, I shall post online.

The kit does not include final Flexi type hoses or cuffs etc.

Dust extraction really is the bane of my life. My workshop is currently unfinished, and I have stuff all over the place. But trying to find adaptors for all of my hand powertools is an absolute nightmare! GRRR

I have a few of these, easy to adapt, even able to fit one to the oblong extract port on my Bosch hand power planner: http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-ta ... s-ax966250

I've looked at them before, they're bloody expensive. But good to know that they work!

How did I know that would be your response GeordieStew, :wink: If you want a cheap solution use duct tape, but don't blame me when it keeps falling off when you try to move the tool, at least with the flexible solution I posted above you can use a worm screw clip to hold them in place.

It's still a bodge, regardless. Cutting universal fittings (which ARE expensive) just doesn't seem right.

Most hoses (which are also stupidly expensive) are a standard size. Why can't tool manufacturers standardise on a port size or supply/offer suitable adaptors for their kit? I'd pay Mafell £20 and Bosch another £20...rather than have any faff!

 

[MikeJhn]

Oh come on, manufacturers just want you to buy their hoses and adaptors, not a competitors, so they make theirs different enough that you can't get a universal fitting, its a bit like asking Bill Gates to allow Pages and Numbers to work on Windows.

Yeah, but if I could buy a P1CC to 32mm hose adaptor from Mafell, I'd buy it...regardless of cost.

If I could buy a Bosch Plunge Saw to 32mm hose adaptor from Bosch, I'd buy it...regardless of cost.

Instead, I'll go butcher a butcherable item from Axminster. Can't make much sense to Mafell and Bosch. And doubt I'm alone.

For equipment cuffs, I have purchased a couple of Silicone Car Hose adaptors.
Sizes seem ok.
Will post when they arrive
Lots of different sizes available Inc straight connectors

Flexi hose still seems expensive

Wha's the problem if its regardless of cost, go out and buy the whole kit, then you will have your adaptors and probably five vacuums and untold amounts of extractors.

Because I want to use my dust deputy and I don't have a lot of space.

Three extractors would be fine... But I'd prefer 3 adapters which would be around 100mm cubed.
