swarf removal vacuum
fixit:
I have a smaller unit as Bog's described made by SnapOn works well but in my shop i use a small bagless 1300wat it eats swaff-small spanners/pens /bolt's it's good
Bluechip:
They're good they are Bogs. :thumbup:
Some kitchen hob extracters work like that. Clean air through the fan, then airflow entrains all the oil vapour through a filter and out.
No gobbed up fans, 'cos the filters aren't 100%, and some grease gets on the blades anyway. Messy camels to deal with .. :bang:
Crevice tool, needs to be adapted for Erbauer, bit of tube in my case. P2900 if you have the CPC catalogue. Or can be bothered to look at the online version ...

@ Bogs
Many thanks for the drawing. I've got a machine that generates its own vacuum like that with a venturi. Never occurred to me to try that method :doh: . I will do some experiments in the garage and see how it turns out. The machine I have doesn't produce a lot of vacuum airflow, but then again it doesn't use a lot of air.
@ bluechip
I like the idea of a machine that sucks a lot :D . Is yours the 20 litre one ?
Was looking at the Argos site and they do a bagless (save a fortune ??) Zanussi one for £50. It has 324 Air watts (had to google for a definition).
Bit concerned about using a std vaccum cleaner as most of my swarf will have lubricant attached.
Best Regards

Interesting device.... would it still be effective if one replaced the collection bag with a cyclone separator? I'd been looking at using a vacuum cleaner to drive a cyclone, but I could probably generate more suction (& cyclone power) using an air line...

I have just replaced my 20 year old normal shop vac with one of these.

It sucked Bandit's tail right off, just left him with a stump.
