Axminster AC118CE Dust Extractor - Holtonsfixit101

Welcome to Holtonsfixit101. In this video I'm talking about the Axminster AC118CE cyclone dust extractor. Having this extractor in my workshop is night and day compared to my old dust extractor meaning the difference between them is huge. The power of the motor for one this new one has a 1500W motor (in old money that 2Hp), this one also has a cyclone separator for heavier dust particles and a huge filter element.
The motor as mentioned is 1500W 240V which means here in the UK can be plugged into a standard 13A wall socket, no need for higher amp power supply here.
The machine comes with a 125mm to 2x100mm Y splitter hose connection so you can run two 100mm hoses or one 125mm hose right out of the box. But as you see from my video the even on a 100mm hose the extractor has plenty of suction. I touched on in the video that I use this extractor on three main machines in my workshop, the router table, the surface planer and the thickness planer but applications for this machine with the suction power it has are endless. As for reducing the dust in my workshop the most I notice a difference is using my thickness planer that produces huge amounts of dust and shavings and now after using this machine I have very little around my thicknesser to clean up.
When the extractor arrived there was some assembly. It come in two huge boxes an a wooden crate. I would class this as a medium build e.g. from 1-10 (1 being easy and 10 being hard) I'll give it a 5. Putting the casters on and the red frame together was a piece of cake, the hardest part was holding the impeller and motor assembly in place and try to thread a bolt at the same time. Credit to my son who kindly helped me with this because your never be able to lift this on your own unless you have a way of lifting the motor unit in place e.g. hoist. The only thing about the build of this machine is that some of the bolts Axminster provided were I felt a little short in length so had to source some longer ones.
Overall I'm very pleased with this extractor. It does what it says on the tin. Yes it was a big chunk of money to shell out just for an extractor for a home workshop but now I've been using this for a few months it's worth every penny I paid.
