It was this one http://cpc.farnell.com/duratool/d019...in_merch=true& but they are all generic Chinese.
The idea I had was to put a cyclone in the top of the ash can, it didn't really work as the dust did not settle enough and a lot went through to the main vac. I took all the gubbins out of the can i.e. the HEPA filter.
I still have the can and I will probably marry it up with a dust commander. My workshop has a Bosch Collecto vac, which is battered and about 20 years old, but refuses to die, but my tools are so deep in sawdust, it is like a bran tub trying to find anything.
Cheers,
Rob

Ah yes, if I had more height available that'd work great to have the dust commander on top..
I've found mixed posts on Henrys.. though one post in particular seems to be exactly what I had in mind.. (even hiding them under a table!)

That seems perfect for my needs.. and as I'm mostly aluminium, it'd work too for that would you say?

I have this one:

Not sure who sells them now but I got is for around £55 from Tesco.
You can get a combination filter from tool station. It does not have large capacity and can be loud but works very well for the price.https://emvioeng.com

Awesome. Choices choices choices..
the Earlex seems to have great reviews and also some that say they work great for CNC type work..
And cheaper than the Henry I saw.. although the Henry is smaller which is better for me...
Perhaps I'll toss a coin..!

I can't seem to find the Earlex anywhere, so think I'll go with the Henry. Not even sold on their own website..
One thought I've had though is I'll probably be using liquid lubricant for cutting aluminium.. is that going to affect the Henry? Or will the dust commander cyclone take care of that and no liquid will get in to the Henry?

You need a wet & dry vacuum then. There is a Henry type that is industrial.

If you want wet dry then you'll need George not Henry.
I sell George and Henry machines to Motor trade for valeting. They run all day none stop and they are tuff little buggers has well getting crushed by numpty valetors with vehicles all the time and still carry on working.
Plus they have good spares Backup and you can buy just about any part for Nuematic machines. They will last years if treated nicely even when running for extended periods.
