Does it look like this one?
Hi Fecn your spot on. Yes I am intending to 'house ' it outside the shed ,that's if it's not too big and cumbersome for my needs. I have actually bought it now but even if I decide to swop / sell it so be it. Whatever I do want to see it up and running . Would I be right to say that the power of the motors would vary and that perhaps this one may be either way of my ideal needs. Would the spec of motor and model be of use to you or what? I'm chuffed to see the very model on here and thank you for that. Is there some where I could see the whole caboodle to complete the job. I only have what is in that pic. Cheers and please get back to me.
There's basically two different kinds of dust/chip collectors... There's the ones like that multico one, which are a big centrifugal fan - They shift a lot of air, but at low pressure - They're great for machines that produce a lot of dust in random directions.. Lathes, Table Saws, Mitre Saws etc...
The other kind of dust extractor usually comes in an oil-drum style container and works much more like a conventional household vacuum cleaner... They don't shift such a volume of air, but thanks to the multi-stage turbine assembly, they do it at a lot higher pressure (and noise) - These vacuum-cleaner style extractors are great for tools with a smaller dust extraction port such as sanders, jigsaws, handheld circular saws, etc etc..
Personally, I've got a vacuum-cleaner-style chip collector (Record Power RSDE1) which is just about sufficient for my small machines as long as I keep the filters clean and fresh. It sure is noisy.
You'll find that Multico unit takes up a fair bit of space - You might want to think about building an extension to your shed to house it.
