The one I made collected very fine dust - in the collector

In the hover

If a home made one works so well that a brought one shout work even better. They work by creating a vortex that spins the dust to the bottom from the side and the hover attaches on the top away from the dust.
And a home made grinder attachment

I understand about the hovers kicking out dust, on my titan hover it has a port where the "exhaust" blows and I attach another hose to that and stick it out the window.

Where did you get the foam from Phil? I could do with something adding to mine to help it seal that bit better

It came from my magic shed where i keep all manner of things that may be useful. It is a spare piece from a velux window install. I have seen a cut down pipe insulation also used. It worked perfectly and almost no dust. But the hose attachment has now come away and need re glue sticking

Used it today and to be honest it was a bit of a pain, the can collected some stuff but the pipes are thin bore and one got clogged pretty fast as did the filter in the top

I know, not great. I need a reliable method of collecting the dust, filters clogging is a big problem
