The shop vac works well enough for most things if you pair w a cyclone for planers - they create a ton of wood chips beyond what fit into a regular vac in a short amount of time. Rockler has a dust right smaller unit that can be wall mounted which will take up less space vs stuff on wheels or even in your cabinets. ![]() Intended for the table power tools like thickness planers, table saws, chop saws (tho these usually suck no matter what). Cyclone separator always recommended to save your bags and impeller. Bad at being an all purpose shop vac.ĭust collection system - big unit to move big air through large hoses and ducts. Metabo A35 os what I have and Festool CT15 is the same kind of thing. Concrete grinders, drywall sanders, pro in-house carpenters use these w their tools to reduce almost all the dust. Hepa filter bags make this better but also need to step down the nozzle for most hand power tools to fit.ĭust extractor thats mobile - looks just like a shop vac but really only great at getting small dust out of the project. A little suitcase sized one is usually more than enough. Shop vac - great for picking up all sorts of nonsense from the ground, including water when needed. I think you have some definitions a bit off let me add my two cents. Fwiw I also have a hepa air filter (the big metal box type) hanging from the ceiling.Īnyway, I’d love to get everyone’s two cents on this, especially if you’ve built this style bench before and know of pitfalls I should be aware of.Ĥx8 is pretty big - maybe two 4x4 would be a little more modular. (Thinking of building everything into a 4’x8’ rolling cabinet with vacuum ductwork feeding everything into a 4” port.) One machine for cleanup would be ideal. ![]() Will I still need another shop vac or dust collector? Space is a big issue bc everything must be rolled to the side so the wife can park. I’m upgrading my garage workshop and I’m considering the CT 15 with a cyclone separator. I just know you use a shop vac for a miter saw or ROS, and a dust collector for a thickness planer or TS, and the manufacturers give very stern warnings about not using a shop vac for a dust collector’s job. My admittedly rudimentary understanding of the difference is basically a shop vac moves a small volume with high speed, and a dust collector moves a large volume at a lower speed. Is it both? Neither? Does it only make sense to have if you’ve got all Festool tools? I’ve never seen a shop vac with a cyclone separator, nor have I seen a dust collector with brush and detail attachments. I know dust extractor is right there in the name, but it clearly has elements of both. When you want to carry a 17’ kayak inside a 6’ wide teardrop camper. My wife said she could never tell if I was on a call in our home office.Ī parcel box I made so any parcels can be left somewhere safe if I'm outįound this cool stick.
