Nice! I can’t warrant one of those, I don’t sand enough. I have been workout searching out the best cost effective set up this week, for 7 inch, think I’ve got it susseed. Do you have a dust can Before the vac on your grinders or straight into the vac ?

That's got a motor in it ? I thought it was a can that was inline that dust fell into on its way to the vac? Am I on another planet ? :D

For 25 quid, it isn't worth making one. Are the ones with a motor in just to boost the suction then I assume

TBH I sent the wrong link at first because what you actually need is a simple seperator which you found anyway. I’m not saying you’re a tight arse ;) but I then sent you the diy link. If you watch it to the end it explains very well the benefits of using a seperator.

Definitely something I need to get. Although being a tight arse with plastic pots always available and pipe fittings in stock I may well lash something together.

I’ll get the machine mart one. Got an anhydrite to sand in January, 30m ish.

Do you find much difference between the cheap ÂŁ5 grinding cups and the ÂŁ40 + ones such as ats sell, ÂŁ80 even for the 180mm

Grab a few cheapies. They aren't bad to be fair. I killed my few cheapies on a s&c screed that had a huge belly in it

Imo you’ll only be able to gauge that if you’re doing a lot of it and spending enough money on it they you’re asking the question.

I've got a 9 inch grinder with a cowling attached to a single motor industrial dust extractor which I use for pretty much every floor I tile whether it's simply grinding the surface to remove latience , contaminants or taking high spots down.

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.

I’m interested to know Lee, but don’t put yourself out, do you know how many motors it has?
Looks like it might work well. :)
