Wall mounted Extractors (Axminster AP50E vs RP Camvac)

[bertterbo]

I'm looking at these two models :

https://www.axminstertools.com/axminster-professional-ap50e-dust-extractor-230v-107631
They work in completely different ways. The Camvac will suck the bag, where as the Axminster will blow the bag.

I'm thinking the Axminster is the way to go as it has a higher CFM, and also, because you don't need to pull the bag over a cage, means you don't need to have it raised off the ground as much as the CamVac.

Thoughts on which you think is better?

I'll be using it for all things woodworking. Woodturning, planing, bandsaw, tablesaw etc

add any length of pipe or flexible pipe or change diameter of pipe then the CFM will collapse VERY quickly on the Axminster due to the type of the machine. The RP as you say works very differently.



this guy has multiple video comparing both types (and sells both).

I’ve gone from a chip extractor to a twin motor Camvac recently. In a small workshop I’ve found the versatility of the Camvac to be very handy as it can be used for larger machines as well as smaller machines.

Performance is very good and coping well with router table and table saw. Possibly a touch more dust on the table of the table saw than with the chip extractor but negligible. I’ve seen a video where Vic Tesolin is using the wall mounted version with a planer thicknesser with seen no issues as well.
