LUMBER JACKLUMBER JACK 50 Liter Dust Extractor with 1200W Motor, 2 Meter Hose for Woodworking Chip Collection, 240V, Includes 5 Piece Reducer Set

Purchased this to work with a number of power tools, but mainly my jointer plainer. This has now turned the use of the planer into a joy when previously it was a nightmare.Good suction when using the adaptors for vacuuming with smaller hoses, but this unit came into its own when using the 100mm hose. The air flow is incredible, which is the most important thing when dust extracting.Some reviewers have said they find the 100mm hose too rigid and inflexible. I found it to be a good compromise between flexibility and durability. Flexible enough to run to all my machines and rigid enough not to kink and block. It also hangs well from my workshop ceiling, being strong enough to support its own weight.It is quite loud , but that can only be expected given the realy good air flow it produces. My workshop has never been so clean and dust free, and more importantly I don’t have to have my extract fans on full pelt any more.The filter system is very effective and even coped well with a lot of the dreaded MDF without clogging up. The large tank is very practical and extremely easy to empty.This is a large item, so I am glad it’s not on wheels.Would like to have seen it with a power take off and would have happily paid more for this facility.

A very powerful shop extractor. When I had the 100mm hose fitted, I accidently blocked the end of the hose. The suction was enough to lift the whole unit from the floor, slamming it into the workbench. So be careful, this thing could suck-start a jumbo-jet.I had to use the smaller 35mm hose that is included with the extractor to reduce the suction a little. My workshop is now clear of dust when using my CNC router, I am very pleased with the performance of this machine, the only negative points I can comment on is the noise this extractor makes, it is quite loud in use, and the motor feels quite hot to the touch after extended use.

The unit itself seems great. Easily powerful enough for my needs, (table saw, mitre saw, sander or as a vacuum cleaner).HOWEVER... the hoses collapse easily, especially the 35mm hose. The adaptors crack easily.

Good item. Plenty of connection fitting options. Excellent suction. Was a little concerned over noise levels but these were not a problem.

Not had much use as I have not had to empty it yet. Unit is now very noisy. Screams like it’s blocked up although it is not as I have checked it. Also the internal filter keeps falling off. Not fit for purpose.

This is a handy little extractor for my Bosch sld 2 mitre saw, one of the adapters fits perfectly. It sits neatly under the saw stand and keeps dust to an apsolute minimum . It doesn't take up a lot of room in the van and Is ideal for site use or a small workshop as the adapters will fit a range of different equipment. On the downside the metal band that holds the lid on broke the instant I took it off the extractor to set it up. This was a little disappointing but it was nothing a rivit couldn't fix . I would of contacted the seller but I was pressed for time and couldn't wait for a replacement as I needed to use it the next day .

I've got one of these for use with my triton thicknesser and various other power tools in a small home workshop.The good: it has good suction, it feels solid enough construction wise and comes with a member of size nozzles.The bad: it's very noisy, but I'm using power tools so it's not major. The unit generates a lot of heat, I'd be interested to hear of others have this issue. The nozzles are barely compatible with any of my tools thus I've had to resort to good old tape to get a seal.Final thoughts: It's a good price, and its its good for sucking up dust and wood chipping from the floor, the nozzle issue is very annoying but not unusual with this kind of thing. If you can afford to spend another 100 odd quid get something better, but for a budget buy it does the job.

Careful when you start this thing up, it’ll suck your worship inside out and create a black hole the size of the Milky Way.Well made, powerful and worth the money.
