 This is a proposal for a higher powered dust extractor to replace our existing green machine. The proposed extractor is 2hp instead of 1hp, has a cartridge filter to catch dust as small as 1 micron, and uses a clear collection bag so it’s easy to know when to empty.
@@ Line 48: / Line 53: @@
 The T joint in the corner will be removed as the replacement extractor has two 100mm outlets. The 45 degree angles are to provide a more gradual curve than the current 90 corner for the workbench wall.
