Dust Extractors

The main objective of a dust extractor is to collect and filter out airborne dust and debris generated during woodworking processes. This ensures a cleaner, healthier, and safer working environment whilst also prolonging the life and efficiency of your tools.

Consider the size of your workspace, the number of machines or power tools you'll connect, and the volume of dust generated. For larger spaces or multiple extraction points, opt for a more robust dust extractor. Our team at Timbecon can also offer guidance tailored to your needs.

While both remove dust, a dust extractor is specifically designed for large volume woodworking dust and chips, with finer filtration systems. On the other hand, a shop vacuum is more versatile with what it can extract but due to their small size, they will not handle large volumes efficiently.

Regularly check and clean filters to maintain optimal performance. Consider a thorough clean or replacement every 3-6 months, depending on usage. Our Low-Maintenance Extractors have their own automated filter cleaning mechanism!

Absolutely! We cater to both DIY enthusiasts and seasoned professionals. Our range offers solutions suitable for various scales and intensities of woodworking.

Periodic maintenance is the key to a dust extractor's longevity. This includes thorough checks for hose blockages, keeping the filters clean, and ensuring the motor remains dust-free. The product manual provides a detailed maintenance guide, but our team is also available for any advice or troubleshooting needs.

Dust extractors are primarily designed with woodworking in mind, so they should only be used in this context. Always adhere to the guidelines stipulated in the product manual to guarantee longevity and safety.

Noise levels can vary depending on the specific model. Our commitment at Timbecon is to ensure our products blend efficiency with user comfort, meaning we strive to limit noise without compromising on performance. Don’t forget, you can always contact our customer service team for specific details!

Certainly! Several models within our range have this convenient feature, enhancing usability and promoting energy conservation. These models are an upgraded version of the standard dust extractor that have an iVac switch installed.

Ensuring uninterrupted airflow and robust suction necessitates a disciplined maintenance routine. Regularly checking filters, hoses, and seals will keep your machine operating at its best. Additionally, ensuring the dust bin or bag isn't overly full can also optimise airflow. Finally, as to not lose airflow ensure the shortest distance possible from machine to extraction point.

Some advanced models are crafted to manage multiple tools at once. However, always ascertain the extractor's capacity to ensure efficient, continuous dust collection without overburdening the system.

Absolutely! At Timbecon, we believe in the longevity of our products. To support this, we provide a diverse range of replacement parts, ensuring that your machine remains in prime condition throughout its lifespan.

Yes, they do. We're confident in our product quality, and every dust extractor is backed by a five year manufacturer's warranty, reflecting our unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.

Safety is paramount. Always ensure the machine is grounded to avert static buildup. Overloading can be detrimental, so monitor capacity. While the extractor is designed for safety, always complement its use with personal protective equipment, like masks and safety goggles. Detailed precautions can be found in the product manual.

Our machines utilise state-of-the-art filtration systems, often incorporating HEPA or similarly high-grade filters. This dedication to quality ensures a minimal return of dust to your workspace, maintaining a clean environment.

After ensuring the dust is cool, place it in a sealable bag suitable for disposal - depending on your model, the dust extractor may have already taken care of this step. Abide by local disposal regulations, and if the wood waste is untreated, consider composting as an eco-friendly alternative.

While designed for standard workshop conditions, prolonged exposure to dampness can affect performance. It's always prudent to store the extractor in a dry, sheltered place when not in use.
