The following portion will show our 5 picks for the best HEPA dust extractors you can buy right now.
Now that we have the basics down, it’s time to see which HEPA dust collector will serve us well in our workshops.
#Dewalt dust extractor manual#
You can always unplug the unit and bring it closer to your power tool, but that’s a whole lot of manual labor we want to avoid. This is possible if the length of the hose and the cord allow for easy movement. Dust extractors can be portable and come with wheels for pulling the unit to the tool you want to use, but we generally like to leave it in one place while we take the suction hose to the unit. We want a tool that can connect to all of our power tools and woodworking machines. You can either ground the dust extractor or purchase a model that comes with an anti-static hose. Although these are extremely rare, it’s something that we should avoid at all costs. As the static charge builds up, it can discharge a spark which can potentially lead to an explosion.
Static electricity is produced as dry particles rub the inside of the hose. The best home-use dust extractors should have a water lift of between 90 and 100 inches, though it depends entirely on what power tools you possess and how much lift it requires to pick up the leftover sawdust and debris. This test determines how well the dust extractor can pick up larger-sized debris. Essentially, manufacturers test their dust extractor models by placing the suction hose into a tray or bucket of water and seeing how far the water is sucked through the tube (measured in inches). Water LiftĪnother indicator of dust extractor performance is the static water lift test. In the end, it depends on what you have in the workshop, and in most cases, 140 CFM should be enough for most of what you have in your workshop.
However, large woodworking machines may require something much stronger (wood thicknessers requires at least 500 CFM). Most basic portable dust extractors should produce at least 130 CFM which is enough for most light- and medium-duty power tools. The air volume sucked up by a dust extractor is measured using cubic-feet-per-minute (CFM).
