Some low cost vacuum clear for dust extraction for a single router.

Post by Not your average framer »

I have a plan to use a relatively low cost flat pine moulding which will be re-oriented to be re-purposed as a deep box frame moulding and I hope to create a dedicated small floor standing router table for producing this particular deep box frame moulding. I am expecting to be able to produce the whole router table from wooden scraps and left overs, which I already have. The router is an old one given to me by my brother, so I am expecting my overall costs to be minimal. I'm just not sure what particular types of compact, low cost vacuum cleaner with a hose, do I need to buy as part of this set up. Any recommendations would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Mark

I've got a Karcher WD 3 P. £104.99 from Screwfix. It has a take-off for an power tool so that it
switches on when the tool starts. Lots of suck and easy to use. If you aren't sucking up chippings
you only have to empty it twice a year. :lol:
