Dust Collector Shavings Extractor
A dust collector is essential in a woodturners workshop to keep fine sanding dust under some sort of control. The dust collector can also be used as a vacuum cleaner for removing shavings from the workshop. A simple cloth bag type is quite adequate for sanding but has problems when used as a shop vacuum cleaner. The inlet to the dust collector is fitted with a guard to prevent large objects being ...

Miny Cyclone Dust Collector
