It was somewhere outside Barstow when "rob" wrote:

Check out a Fein.

No thanks ! Workshop vacuums are cheap - the fact that Fein make an
overpriced one doesn't make the cheap ones disappear.

Although Fein's Multimaster is a lovely little tool.

I've got two DCs. One is a "proper" 4" chip collector (bag on top of
bag) that I only use with the thicknesser. My cyclone for dust is
powered by an Earlex workshop vacuum from Machine Mart - probably the
cheapest "dustbin" vacuum you can get in the UK. Mainly because it's a
small diameter, high pressure, high velocity blower compared to the
chip sucker, this cheapie works a cyclone far better.
