Dust Extractors
Besides the smaller shop vacs, we have two higher volume dust extractor that we might eventually hook up to a small system of pipes around the wood workshop.

Caution - in its factory state, this machine does NOT have a fine dust filter! If used for tasks like sanding, it may even spread the fine dust more than if you had not used it at all. It is therefore mainly suitable for the extraction of larger chips and does NOT replace a dust mask.
Maintenance
UNPLUG before you do any maintenance
It should easily suck up smaller chips and saw dust from a surface if the pipe opening is placed perpendicular to the surface. If this is not the case you will have to service it. Over time larger chips that are sucked up don´t make it in to the rotor and clog the airway. They can usually be removed by disconnecting the pipe from the rotor and clearing the nest manually. Also the white fabric filter gets clogged over time and should be cleaned to. If the filter inflates like a bouncy castle upon turning it on, it is time to clean it. Wear a dust mask .
Obviously the plastic bag needs to be emptied when full.
This tool is not ready for use yet since not all commissioning steps have been completed. The process is not yet tracked on GitHub. Feel free to contribute to making it usable, any help is very welcome!

Felder AF 14
| MachineInfoBox Felder AF 14 | |
|---|---|
| |
| Used with: | jointer-planer |
| Location: | wood workshop (close to CNC area) |
| Access Requirements: | |
| Status: | available |
| Manual: | felder-gruppe.at (DE) |
| Tutors: | |
The Felder AF 14 should be in close proximity to the jointer-planer.
The system should be hooked up through the automated switch box (switched output) mounted on the metal frame, that should also be connected to the planer (trigger output). Once the planer is started the vacuum system will turn on after 3 seconds and turn off once the planer is off for 8 seconds. Make sure to set the switch on the vacuum motor to '1' (ON) before starting!
Collection bag dimensions 2x850x1300x0.1mm (original Felder).
