Upgrade your dust or chip extractor to handle the finest workshop dust.
This cartridge filter can be used to upgrade any chip extractor with a 500mm diameter collection drum. Replace the cloth filtration bag with a cartridge to increase the filtration performance down to a super fine, 1 micron particle size. The extra deep pleats in the filter material, increase the surface area of the filter so that there is no loss in air flow compared to the original cloth filter.
This allows the extractor to be used for operations which produce very fine dust such as sanding and cutting MDF. The particle size of fine woodworking dust is generally between 2 and 3 microns. Research shows 99% of wood dust, produced by machining softwood, hardwood or MDF, is within that range. The extractor can still be used with all the normal workshop machines which produce dust and chips, such as: bandsaws, table saws, planers, thicknessers and spindle moulders.
