What is the difference between a dust extractor and a normal vacuum cleaner?

A dust extractor is designed to collect dust and debris created by power tools, sanding, cutting, routing and workshop machinery. Unlike a standard household vacuum, a proper dust extractor is built to cope with fine dust, larger volumes of debris and regular workshop use. Many models can also be connected directly to power tools using the correct hose and adaptor.

Which dust extractor should I choose for my workshop?

The right dust extractor depends on the type of work you do, the tools you use and how much dust you create. Compact extractors are ideal for portable power tool use, site work and smaller workshops. Larger collectors are better suited to higher-volume wood dust, workshop clean-up and more demanding dust extraction applications. If you are not sure which model is right for you, just ask us.

What does L Class, M Class and H Class mean on a dust extractor?

L Class dust extractors are designed for lower-risk dusts and general-purpose use. M Class extractors offer a higher level of filtration and are commonly used for hardwood, MDF, concrete, brick dust and other medium-risk dusts. H Class extractors are designed for higher-risk dusts such as asbestos, mould and highly hazardous fine particles. Always choose the correct class of extractor for the dust being produced and the working environment.

Can I connect these dust extractors to my power tools?

Yes, many of the dust extractors and hose kits in this category are designed for connection to power tools. Quick Click hose and adaptor sets make it easier to connect dust extractors to tools from major brands including Bosch, Makita, DeWalt, Festool, Fein, Milwaukee and others. We always advise measuring your tool dust port before ordering.

What is the advantage of using a Quick Click hose kit with a dust extractor?

A Quick Click hose kit helps you connect your dust extractor to different power tools quickly and securely. This reduces the need for multiple dedicated hoses and makes it easier to switch between sanders, saws, routers and other dust-producing tools. It is especially useful in busy workshops or for tradespeople using several different tool brands.

Do I need a 3m or 9m extraction hose?

A 3m hose is a good choice for bench work, compact workshops and tools used close to the extractor. A 9m hose gives you more freedom to move around larger work areas without constantly repositioning the extractor. For mobile work, larger benches or general workshop use, the longer hose can make day-to-day use much easier.

Are these dust extractors suitable for woodworking?

Yes, many of the dust extractors and collectors in this category are suitable for woodworking applications, including sanding, sawing, routing and general workshop clean-up. For larger volumes of wood chips and dust, a higher-capacity collector may be more suitable than a compact portable extractor.

Can dust extractors collect fine dust?

Yes, the correct extractor can help capture fine dust at source, especially when used with suitable filters, bags, hoses and adaptors. Fine dust can be harmful when airborne, so connecting your tools directly to an appropriate dust extractor is one of the best ways to keep your workspace cleaner and safer.

Do I need bags, filters or accessories as well?

In most cases, yes. Bags, filters, hoses and adaptors are important for keeping your extractor working efficiently and ensuring a good connection to your tools. Choosing the right accessories can improve suction, reduce leaks and make dust collection much more effective.

Can you help me choose the right dust extractor?

Yes. If you are not sure which extractor, hose or adaptor kit is right for your tools, contact us and we can help you choose the most suitable setup for your workshop, trade or application.
