Just waiting for the glue to go off now. Sorry I've kinda digressed from the main topic but couldn't have done this without those tools

Those Carbatec units are great, but they have a 100mm hose. Perfect if your machine has the same size attachment.
I tried adding a reducer to a 50mm hose to connect it to my drop saw and the Carbatec didn't inflate the bag and create the proper vortex for normal operation. Suction was almost nonexistent.

I used a similar hare and forbes one and reduced it to 50 mm, it still sucked but the droning noise it made after doing this was unbearable. Did yours get noisy?

I'm considering making a seperator bin. I have a 44 falling drum, just need a fee fittings and I should be able to make it work

Well was in Repco today as they had 30% off so why wouldn't you hey!!

Spent a little bit shhhhh. But grabbed this little kit for $19 and can't complain, very limited use and have basically everything else covered but these will fit a gap nicely.

No, it was no louder but did make a bit of a droning noise as it wasn't able to draw in the usually airflow.
It's a 2HP FM300 model.

You must have bought the same one we just did Cremulator Mate?

It’s a 2hp also with twin port 100mm suction pipes we’ll be connecting to two 100mm machines within 3m distance of the unit via this kit which includes blast gates:

In theory I can’t see why the smaller 1hp model couldn’t work for two 50mm machines or at least having a second blast gate half open or full?

Until now we’ve just been using our Hilti concrete drilling shop vacuum with success but does fill too quickly now with bigger machines coming into play.

It’s only downfall sound wise is that every 15 seconds it does a needed auto filter clean (thump/thump/thump) that echoes through the valley

Yeh that's the same unit with dual ducts.
My dad bought it over 10 years ago to use with a Carbatec CTJ-350.
I used this setup to make a work bench a few months ago
What that machine does to timber put me on edge every time I switched it on

Anyone who buys a Bunnings rain poncho is probably a bit of a tool.......... at least if they expect it to keep them dry! Haha.
