Hi everyone, is there anyone out there that can help with a problem I've been struggling with.
I purchased a second hand Record DX5000 dust extractor( Blue version) from a school that was having to change to a enclosed system. The problem is when switched on the collection bag gets sucked up and there is very little dust extraction from the suction end, not enough to keep a bandsaw clear. I have been in touch with Record and Yorkleen the manufacturers both have tried to resolve the problem but with no success. With their help I have fitted Inner Cloth Fine Filter Bag, Pressure Release Valve, Extraction Tube Collar and the recommended Collection Bags. I use the standard 100mm flexi extraction hose. I've run the machine using a single and then double motors with no improvement to the suction end. Is this a known problem or have I bought a duff machine?
