I'm about to buy a Jet 10-20 and I don't think my current dust extractor can filter small enough particles that the drum sander will produce. I've had a look on the forum and although a few people have recommended stuff on axminster.co.uk, the links are a bit old so they don't work anymore (I'm guessing they no longer sell the product).

Could anyone recommend a dust extraction system that I can buy in the UK? I've been looking at the selection on axminster but have no idea which are suitable and which are unnecessarily expensive.

Thanks

If you order a hard copy of the Axminster catalogue (free) then you will see that they have various performance ratings attached. For the type of fine dust that you get from sanders you need one rated 4 on the Axminster rating system. These tend to be the drum ones like a big Henry vac.

Cheers, Bob
