Which dust extractor charnwood, Axminster or itech

[Luketheduke]

Hi guys I'm after some advice/opinions in these three extractors... Currently it's only for my 10 inch table saw and small thicknesses/planer. My options are as follows:

Most powerful but looks the least well built


http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-tr ... tor-508334
From Axminster so good service, also good ISH reviews

Finally:
https://www.charnwood.net/products/prod ... athway-110
Looks really well built but no reviews

Thanks for your help in advance guys!

I don't really understand why that C 90 is so expensive, as it's only 1hp. I'm my eyes the FM300 is a better deal http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-ho ... eal-717658

Agreed, why would you buy an 850M3/hr extractor: http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-tr ... tor-508334 when for near exactly the same cost you can get a 2000M3/hr Extractor: http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-ho ... eal-717658 I use the 300 on all my Chipping machines including 10" table saw in the workshop and it does all it should.

What table saw do you have, you may be interested in this thread: axminster-ts250-2-modifications-t102284.html

You're not comparing like with like. The iTech is the same as the 2 hp Charnwood W691, https://www.charnwood.net/products/prod ... athway-109 which I found cheaper buying via Poolwood.

The Charnwood W691has a 5 micron filter. The W796CF W796 has a 1 micron filter. So, if you're sanding to fine levels, you may want to go to a finer filter.
The Axminster Trade AT60E has a 1 micron filter.

I'm interested in the Record Power range though, it filters down to 0.5 micron.
The RSDE/2 looks good: https://www.recordpower.co.uk/product/f ... IEnISj7TIU
Does anyone have any experience with these?

I would go for the FM300BC and if you need more fine filtration get the cartridge to replace the bag. That's what I did and it's a great extractor.

RickG - you're not comparing like with like in terms of the RP extractor, it's low volume high pressure whereas the others discussed are high volume low pressure.

The Charnwood extractor has a 16a plug, if that's significant for you, whereas Fox's similar 2hp variant runs off 13a. It's a decent price at around £250 ish and f you have concerns about the brand it has a 3yr guarantee.

The Charnwood 691 runs fine on 13amp plug.

Thank you.
I see the FM300BC also has a collection bag. This also means you can dump the waste without risk of inhaling spores when you empty it.
