What Camvac

[Jim]

Was Tony Wilson using during his demo at York ..

 

[GeordieB]

Not sure Jim but it was a twin motor 2.5" but dont the model

 

[Neil Lawton]

I think it may have been their C.r.a.p.1 model Jim.
I can ask him if you like?

 

[Jim]

It was very quiet George, and if i was to build a bench for the lathe i would need one to fit underneath .. My last Camvac lasted a few weeks before it went on ebay ..

 

[Bigblackdog]

that is the important bits- the rest of the detail is only the canister capacity.

i have a twin motor 4" one hooked up to my bandsaw. I went for the small capacity and put a drop box in between, so that when I hook it up to the thicknesses I am not having to empty the cam vac every 2 minutes. The drop box is a big blue barrel.

 

[Bigblackdog]

none of them are quiet jim- you can vent the exhaust out of the way, which helps with the noise a bit, apparently.

 

[GeordieB]

he had pipes attached to the exhast Jim it lowers the motor noise

A member at our club runs the outlet hose into a simple silencer, plastic container with foam in it.

Jim I'd really consider some kind of separator what ever vac you end up with, it really does save the hassle of cleaning filters & changing bags

Duct it outside and build an enclosure for it.

 

[Vic Perrin]

I have read some good reports about the Dust Deputy. Has anyone seen or used one ?

I've been using one for years Vic, it's one of the all metal originals & I wouldn't want to be without it.

This is it set up with a vacuum I bought off Billy.


I also made a Thien separator a while back which works very well but I don't think it's quite as good as the Dust Deputy, that said they both get plenty of use.

I have one Vic, connected to my Vacuum. They are A1

 

[GeordieB]

Just finished my setup exhasts outside

 

[Jim]

I like that set up George, does exhausting outside reduce the noise?

Alot Jim its not quiet but when using only 1 motor its not at all that bad bit more noisy with both of them in use its not fully air tight yet so I am hoping it will be a bit better when it is

 

[George Watkins]

I used to have a twin motor and a triple motor and I made a baffle box from an old kitchen cupboard to put the exhaust into and it does help reduce the noise but they were still very loud.

after awhile you'll be a bit like the thread title: What? (did you say)...... (Argggh)... camvac !!!
