Numatic NV750 Workshop Vacuum Extractor

[tisdai]

Hi

I am thinking of buying a " Numatic NV750 Workshop Vacuum Extractor"
http://www.axminster.co.uk/numatic-numatic-nv750-workshop-vacuum-extractor-prod782719/

The main reason is because of the motor, it is a Numatic 1 and is supposed to be quieter then the brush motors. Any help would be appreciated before i spend any money out on 1.

Cheers

Dave

I have one and it is very solidly built and effective. I use the 4" hose which is long enough to move between the tablesaw, router table and bandsaw and that does a decent job.

The smaller hose is good for the mitre saw, although I find the mitre saw still makes a bit of a mess, but that is down to the poor dust extraction design of the mitre saw. It works fine on biscuit jointers and sanders and has plenty of suction, sticking the orbital sander to the wood and leaving the surface dust free after use.

Noise wise it is a lot quieter than most, more of a drone than any high pitched wailing... but you will still know that you have it switched on.

My machine was supplied with HEPA bags which you are advised to cut in half and sit on the rim of the metal body before lowering on the motor top. I found the filter 'inside' this HEPA bag to be very clean on emptying.

Emptying is straightforward as the motor assembly/switchgear top unlatches, disconnect any hoses and you can just tip away. I do this outside the workshop into a bin liner.

Hope this helps

Thanks Dave, I will have a look at that. I having been trying to think how I can improve the dust pickup from my mitre saw, wondering about making a hood of some sort.

My NV750 came with the 4" hose and the smaller 51mm? diameter hose, both hoses were a good length which is handy as I have yet to set up ducted extraction system.

Same here, i am just in the process of converting the garage into a workshop, once i have sorted where evrything will go i will run all the pipework and ducting before i make the cabinets and router table.

Be easier to run everything arround the workshop when it is empty, than trying to cut sections out after.

Cheers
