All,

Thanks for the feedback. I've had my eye on the Record Power version of the common drum extractors - about £128 from Mr Amazon.

I have 3 machines needing extraction. In priority order:  disc/belt sander (63mm port), table saw (63mm port), chop saw (35mm adaptor)

I'll need 3 blast gates for a proper solution and lots of pipe. The large hoses seem very expensive though, like £10 a metre or more. Timmo has 110m waste pipe plumbed around his workshop to each machine, I wonder if 52mm drain pipe could be used? Standard Pipe and fittings are relatively cheap.

I have a old domestic vacuum with a broken case that could attach to the cyclone thing that Jeremy suggested. But no fittings for the short hose, except vacuum machine 35mm-ish that fits the chop saw.

Dilys thinks buying a woodworking extraction unit with 0.5um filter is the first priority - one can add cyclones per machine later. I will need 100mm to 63mm adaptors though. Surely there is one true EU standard that Theresa approves?
