WDC2230

An extractor for a workshop that runs a planer, a saw and a sander off the same line. Three 100 mm inlets let three machines be connected at once, and a 300 mm fan moves the air through the unit. Each of the two columns carries a filter bag over a collection bag - 480 mm across and 850 mm deep each - joined at the waist by a steel clip, so a full bag comes off by hand without tools. The frame carries the fan low, and the whole unit rolls on castors to whichever machine is cutting.

What it does well

Three 100 mm inlets, so a planer, a saw and a sander can all be connected at the same time
Two columns of bags - a filter bag over a collection bag, 480 mm across and 850 mm deep each
Bags held at the waist by a steel locking clip: emptying one is a job you do standing up, without tools
Heavy-duty castors with internal bearings, so the unit can be parked next to whichever machine is cutting

What's included

Double bag dust collector with the fan and motor fitted
Filter bags and collection bags for both columns
Three 100 mm inlet connections
Operating manual

How it works

The assemblies that decide how the cut comes out.

Electromagnetic switch

A magnetic starter rather than a plain switch. If the supply drops, the contactor opens and stays open, so the motor does not restart by itself when the power comes back - which is what you want on a machine that may be left running while you are at the other end of the workshop.

One-piece moulded dust port

The inlet manifold is moulded in one piece rather than welded up from tube and elbows. There is no seam for a hose clamp to work loose on, and nothing to rattle where the ducting leaves the machine.

Steel bag-locking clip

Each bag is held by a steel clip on a strap that pulls tight and latches over. The bag hangs square on the collar, which is what stops it working loose once it is heavy, and it comes off by hand when it needs emptying.

Riveted fan, balanced as a unit

The impeller blades are riveted to the hub and the finished assembly is balanced before it goes into the housing. That is what keeps a 300 mm fan quiet at 32 m/s and keeps the vibration out of the frame.

Frequently asked questions

How many machines can I run off it?

Three, through the three 100 mm inlets. In practice the limit is the ducting rather than the number of ports - 32 m/s at the fan is generous for a workshop, but every metre of flexible hose and every bend takes some of it away. Keep the runs short, the hoses as straight as you can, and park the collector as close to the work as the castors allow.

What is involved in emptying it?

The collection bag on each column is held by a steel clip at the waist. Unlatch the clip, drop the bag and tip it out - no tools, and nothing to undo underneath. How often depends on what you are cutting: planing and moulding make long shavings that fill a bag quickly, while sanding makes far less by volume.

Does it have to be bolted down?

No. It runs on heavy-duty castors with internal bearings, so it stays where it is put but can be rolled to another machine or out of the way. If you are ducting it permanently, park it where the runs are shortest and work out how much hose you need before you commit to a position.
