Has anyone else noticed that the extraction on this thicknesser is poor? I have it hooked up on a very short run to a portable extractor with 5" hose. The extractor is rated at 2500 m3/h which is well above the 814 required.
If I am machining a wide board (say 300mm / 12") at 1mm the chips build up in the tube quickly. Passes of 2mm make the machine unusable at these widths unless I blow air through the grill from the opposite side towards the extractor. The issue would be much worse at 400mm. ?There are no other machines attached to this extractor so I'm not losing anything there.?
Interested to hear if anyone has noticed this and any possible solutions.?
