Ash Can Filter very cheap dust filter :)

[MikeyC38]

Anyway I bought one of these Ash Can Filter for my Dad because he destroys my mums Dyson on a regular basis cleaning out the log fire. Now the filter on my vacuum in the workshops gets clogged really easily so I thought I'd have a go with this and it worked superbly! The filter just tapped against a wall and was empty in seconds , I may have damp though in my workshop which causes my other filter to clog , but I noticed my normal vacuum didn’t get hot .. so for a 10’ner I thought it was a bargain .. they are £23 on amazon the robbing gets ! Just thought I’d share:)

Hi Fivetide
I got something similar from Aldi a couple of months ago for £10 and now my local Aldi has them for £8. However if you are doing lots of woodworking you will need a cyclone filter first to prevent the ash can from filling up too quickly. See this link
The Cyclone Dust Separator and this one Bill's Cyclone Dust Collection Research - Home for suitable designs.
