Do you run it using a 9 inch cup and cowl? Most are 7 inch from what I’ve seen

I borrow that set up for the odd occasion I need it so I don't actually know Marc, but I can find out.

Looks like it might work well.

Yeah I bet it is, I’m sure you’ll tear that screed up in no time.
Might be an idea to test it on a concrete block first tho haha

Yeah I said that to Mate yesterday, need to test it on an old flag stone. I also learnt something last night. My friend is a manager at A Big name hire shop and we were talking about it and dust etc, he said they aren’t allowed to call most vac’s dust extractors now as they let silica pass through and get airborne. Only the new Hilt dust extractors have the correct filter ration to collect silica safely! From them anyway, not sure if other makes do it. Class M dust extraction. My question which I’m not sure of is, does anhydrite produce silica once sanded ?

To get a definitive answer on what is produced, ask @Ajax123 Andy.
As far as site vacuums go, HSE now insist on a minimum of an M class extractor.
What makes an M class extractor is basically 3 things.
1 dust extraction of less than <1% dusts.
2 a Power take Off point, so that extractor and tool work as one.
3. An audible alarm if suction reduces or bags are Full.
H class is for is for carcinogenic dusts, asbestos, mounds etc.
It has all the above attributes but filters down to
<0.005% dusts.
Does that answer your question Andy?
And there are other makes that filter to that level, in fact quite a few known brands do.

I have just been googling and seen there’s quite a lot that do m class like you say. I never knew. So my vac being a none m class, probably allows the silica to pass into the air? Especially if I press the filter clean button which blows out the side! Wonder how many people actually have an up to date dust extractor

If they work on site, a lot won’t have a choice mate.
Mines only an L class and needs updating even tho I have power take off and filters that meet <0.1%,
But it doesn’t have an alarm so it’s no good. Average price for one is £5-600
O
Old Mod
How much was it?
O
Old Mod
Yeah, you’ll be lucky if that’s even an L class mate.
£300 L class
£5-600 M class
£800-1000 for H on average.
The new trend version of mine is an M class.
And is reasonably priced at around £350
Trend T35a
So as M class go, it’s Cheap.

I'll post some pictures of what goes on here.
An example: Last year the electricity company were working on some cabling on the edge of the village, using a cherry picker. The road is quite a steep hill. No safe area had been cordoned off. It ended up tipping over and crushing a woman ( who happens to be the mother of a guy I know) causing life changing injuries.
I do think it's gone too far in the UK but it's crazy here sometimes.
