In this video I set up a two stage dust extraction system, and run some tests with an anemometer to assess what really impacts performance and airflow. All in the hope that it will outperform my old 1hp extractor which was really struggling to cope with chips created by my planer thicknesser. The results are surprising, and I learned a lot! I use an HVLP extractor for collecting chips and dust from my planer thicknesser and tablesaw cabinet. I use a vacuum LVHP extractor for dust collection from all my other tools.
