Have got a Makita lb1200f bandsaw.
It makes dust.
Not too much. But enough.
I naively assumed I could plug it into my Festool CT22 with an adapter hose.
I now learn there's a difference between a high pressure, low volume vacuum. And vice-versa.
In my local Southern African surrounds I have found the following, and would love anyone to offer advice if they've heard of any of them.
Prices (brackets) are in our local currency (ZAR):
Woodster DC 04. (2,000)
woodster
Martlet FM300 (3,000).
Martlet
Metabo SPA 1101 (4,000)
Metabo
Jet DC1300 (6,000)
Jet
The specs seem to vary widely between air volume moved (from 183 to 1800) and pressure (from 1300Pa to 2500Pa).
Hence the confusion.
I don't seem to have a try before I buy option; and will feel very annoyed if I pay money and it doesn't work.
My initial impressions are:
Woodster looks cheap. worried it's high pressure, low volume and won't work well with a bandsaw
Martlet seems to be the sweetspot in terms of spec and price. But don't like it. No idea why.
Metabo looks nice. And I like it. No idea why.
Jet looks great, but is the most expensive.
