Now is a good time for you to get out your crayons and paper. This way we can calculate an approximate line loss value across the entire system. To work this out you need to take into account the distance between the extractor and the machine, the machine type and the type of ducting used (flexible or rigid), as well as fittings, bends, etc.

Note also that these specs refer to the extraction requirements at the machine (where the hose meets the machine's dust port), not the listed capacity of the dust extractor.

A couple of percent here and there will help. These requirements are approximate and are of course heavily dependent on your usage and the type of material being used.īut what about an existing system you want to refine? Go back to basics, strip out some of the fittings, straighten the lines and simplify the whole design.

Tablesaw 800cfm (cabinet and overhead guard).

Tablesaw: 400cfm (cabinet connection only).

We touched on this last time with our graph that illustrated the loss in suction through flexible hose ( click here to refer back to this article).Ī very basic list of machines and their minimum requirements would be as follows: Each type of machine has a certain airflow requirement for effective dust extraction. In this edition I would like to expand on the subject and offer some direction for designing small workshop extraction systems.įirst, we need to look at requirements, specifically considering which machines you have and which machines you plan to add (the latter being the thing most people forget to take into account). I also compared dedicated dust extractors to shop-vac style vacuums, and showed how borrowing the Dyson and trying to cover up the fact that you did is not always the best option. In the last edition of this article, I discussed the advantages of dust extraction, over the ever popular airborne / gravity operated option. Written by Tony Forbes, Maxis Distribution Brand Manger.
