Further to the posts in the B&Q thread earlier regarding dust extraction.
I have decided to get the Record DX4000 drum extractor (80 litres) from screwfix. I intend to plumb it in via soil pipe, blast gates and reducers ( where needed)
It has a 100mm outlet with two 1kw motors which are apparently not too noisy. If I had had the room I would have got the DX5000. It has the same specs but has the facility to take a 200litre bag. If I find I am emptying the drum too often I will take up the idea of introducing a large bin into the plumbed system but residing outside,
This should take care of my thicknesser and planer, which was a worry with the smaller vacs discussed.
Having the option to use both motors or just one it should have the power to deal with the other outlets.( router table , table saw,band saw and various hand held power tools.
According to a review in the woodworker and in our own reviews( dx5000, same spec) it should deal with the other stuff okay. I still have my wicks vac for general cleaning.
