Rikon Dust Extractor - Mr Eddie - 01-14-2025
Anyone have one of the Rikon dust extractor? I want to use one for my bandsaw. Wondered how noisy it is and how well you think it will work for a single machine?
Thanks,
Lonnie

I was never thrilled with my Jet DC1100 on any of my bandsaws.
Are you resawing thick wood (generating high volumes of waste), or is this more of general bandsaw use?
If the latter, I'd recommend starting with a shop vac with an under-table collection point.
See Rob Cosman's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut_tqnqrRww&t=315s
Derek Cohen added a similar collection point he also connected to his DC: http://www.inthewoodshop.com/Powered%20Tools%20and%20Machinery/HammerN4400DustControl.html
