Dust Extraction

[Gareth J]

Another vote for just any old vacuum with a cyclone inline.

You can pull out a cyclone unit from an old dyson that works well. The older dc01s have a single cyclone that while isn't so effective as the newer, fancier, ones doesn't sap flowrate so much and you still have the original vacuum cleaner filters to protect the motor. Seems to work ok on my blast cabinet anyway.

Would the volume/capacity be okay if using as a dust extractor when removing paint and filler with a paint stripping disc on a grinder? It makes loads of dust. What's best one with a bag or baggless?

How were you going to contain the fallout from a grinder? Seems like a big challenge compared to a sander but I'd like to see it done.

That was what I asked. If a vacuum would have the capacity. My rear arches have a thick layer of filler and I covered the workshop in dust when doing 1/2 of one with the grinder and wondered if an extractor right at the workplace would reduce the dust to a more manageable level A sander would be cleaner but I imagine would take a lot longer.

another option with the wet/dry vaccum/blowers is to just us it as a pump without any filtering and just have a hose connected to the tool you are using to the suction side, and have the blower side connected to a hose outside. I did that quite a years ago when sanding down plaster with a random orbit sander.

I've not looked into it but it feels like a grinder would need a lot of shielding and a lot of volume of quite fast movingairflow to persuade the stuff to go up a tube. Maybe more than a single hoover can muster. Is an off the peg grinder attached commercially available? Or have you seen a diy version?

I try to do anything too grot producing outside but not always an option

Turns out, yes, there is:

Cool, I thought postage might have been a bit prohibitive. Do you have paypal? If so could you PM me your email and will send a payment through etc.

Thanks, that could be the way forward. It makes a crazy mess in the workshop otherwise.

There are fully working Henrys on ebay for £30-50 but certainly @123hotchef offer is the way to go.

You have to do something really stupid to break a Henry.

You could series the vacs in the roof with plumbing fittings to increase flow the old cylinder models work well

This is what I use on my grinder.

Rightio. If you can please PM me your email later I'll send you a payment when I'm home later.

Thanks. I also want to put in a extraction later for spraying and it will be vented outside.

Wouldn't it be better in parallel ?

Surely in series the gains are limited as each vac limits what the next inline can suck ?

You noticed the deliberate mistake I put it down to old age,
He sucked the container nearly flat today pipe sucked it's self to a box & it was not noticed till there was a loud crumpling noise
