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.
Most dust extractors are good at removing a large volume of dust, but not the very fine (and most dangerous) particles. We have air cleaners for that - make sure to use both types of dust control together!
BAMATO AB-550

| Synonyms: | vacuum extractor, vacuum extraction machine DE: Absauganlage |
| Type: | Dust Extractors |
| Material: | wood & similar dust (not sparks!) |
| Used with: | hearing protection, breathing protection, air cleaners |
| Location: | Wood Workshop |
| Access Requirements: | |
| Status: | In Commissioning |
| Manual: | in the bag; nearly identical: Einhell TE-VE 550 A (the BAMATO does not have an automatic power outlet) |

| Similar (More or Less): | shop vacs |
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.
Felder AF 14

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!
Our air cleaners are automagically started along with this dust extractor to pick up whatever manages to pass the coarse filter.
Collection bag dimensions 2x850x1300x0.1mm (original Felder).

The two large Festool shop vacs can also be used as an extension cord of sorts and supports continuous (manual) or automatic (depending on the connected tool) action.
Make sure you uncoil the cord before use, and please be aware that our large Bosch chop saw draws too much power to be safely connected through the on-board outlet of a shop vac.
Use these shop vacs whenever dealing with dangerous dust - they are class "M" rated.
Troubleshooting
If Chip & Dale are not happy, they will let you know about it by beeping and maybe even ceasing to work. Please stop and fix the problem immediately!
- is the correct hose diameter selected on the little numbered dial in the front? It should be "27" and there is no reason to change that unless you connect a different hose!
- does the problem persist if you turn the shop Vac on with the hose pulled out? If not, check whether something got stuck in the hose and carefully remove the jam
- is the bag simply full? Please replace it (or report the problem if you can't find new bags)!
- RTFM

Dust Adapter Design
If you a interested in designing and 3D-printing an adapter for a tool, here are the dimensions (pdf) to implement:

Our small shop vac is not equipped with a fine filter and therefore unsuitable for harmful dust. It is quite okay for "normal" cleaning tasks, though.
Therefore, it is attached to the cyclone seperator for our CNC Router and should only be used for that.
Consumables
- bags: 16 L (4 gallons), e.g. these from Bauhaus
