Vacuum from a compressor?

Jan 24, 2006 4 Replies

I just scored a compressor - it's a Bambi electric one with a 50L tank and two pumps. The carpet in the back of my car confirms that it uses compressor oil. :-( Never mind, I'm sure the local scrappie will do me a deal for more carpets...



So..., is there a way to use a compressor, and some sort of gizmo, to do dust extraction from the likes of sanders and jigsaws? I'm thinking of that sort of thing where air flows fast past a venturi, creating a pressure differential, and thus draws whatever is on the other side of the venturi up into the airflow and away.



This one?

is a starting point, not sure if they have them in their online store or not. They would be with the 'blowy things'[blow guns]. or try google..

venturies ( vacume genorators ) are easy to find, but are ineficent... you will be much better of useing a vacume cleaner.
