Vacuum as dust collector
Posted: Tue Apr 30, 2013 8:29 am
Hi to everyone,
as a new pipemaker the problem of dust, especially the one you can not see, gave me serious thoughts.
I decided to put in my workshop a combination of a vacuum that will be placed under the sand disk, a Microclene Mc 420 Ambient Air Filters, and use a cheap face mask of course. The problem is that my space is 7 sq m so i can't put a dust collector. The vacuum i want to buy is a karcher A 2534 pt with 220 mbar , 1600 watt, airflow 75 l/s. So my question is if the vacuum will do the job hooked up under the sand disk or will I buy another useless tool? If yes, i suppose that the combination of the air filter and the vacuum will have a satisfying result.
Thank you for this forum , it doesn't makes me feel alone on this pipe planet.
Any further opinions please!
