Dusty environment

[Baldhead]

I'm ok working in my garage/workshop when the weathers good as I leave the door open, but come the winter I will have to work with it shut, I have one of these

http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-ho ... -extractor

which I bought when I got my planer/thicknesser, I now want to fit 'proper' dust extraction with blast gates, I don't think my extractor is up to it, I intend to connect my planer/thicknesser, my bandsaw (Record BS400), my table saw, my sliding mitre saw, plus an array of handheld tools (sanders, routers etc etc)

The extractor has to be housed inside so I'm thinking I need a hoover type? I have read somewhere that you need something with at least a 2hp motor, but I'm struggling to find anything that 'fits the bill'.

I haven't got a lot of cash to spend, I'm a hobby woodworker, I make things for family and friends, because of my disability I rarely spend more than a couple of hours in there, so what do I need?

TIA

If you have not got a lot to spend but want something with a bit oomph, have a look out for nilfisk hoovers. They are twin motors with a hand shaker for the filters and are meant for wood work. They cost a fortune new but come up on ebay. I was lucky and found one at a carboot for £40. They are not hugely noisy like canvacs either. I would go for the older grey ones, they are industrial rated. Heres one that sold

For planer thicknessers etc this would be better if you have the space.

Looks easy to connect 100mm hose and also the 32mm hose.

I've got the NV750, the one with a single motor, but it doesn't have a 100mm port, just 2 at 50mm I think it is. With only one piece of machinery on at a time it copes very well. It's fairly quiet too - around 70db.
