Draper DE750A Portable Wood Chip and Dust Extractor 750W 55L

The Draper DE750A is a portable wood chip and dust extractor for workshops and DIY spaces. It sits on a trolley base with four swivel castors. You can wheel it to whichever machine is running. It collects chips and shavings from planing, sawing, routing and sanding.

The 750W motor moves 14.15m³/min of air. A 100mm outlet takes the flexible hose. That suits a table saw, thicknesser or router table. A floor suction facility is included too. Use it to clear debris off the workshop floor.

Waste goes into a 55 litre collection bag. A 5 micron canvas filter bag holds fine dust and larger chips. The bag measures 370mm across and 640mm tall. The whole unit weighs 27kg. The cable is 1.8m long with an approved 13A plug.

Why pick it? Dust stays out of the air you breathe. The no-volt switch stops it restarting by itself after a power cut. It is easy to move on its castors. It also connects to most workshop machines. Everything you need to start is in the box.

Air flow of 14.15m³/min tells you how much air the motor moves. More air means chips are carried away from the cutter before they scatter. The 5 micron canvas filter bag catches fine dust but lets air through. That keeps suction steady as the bag fills. A 100mm outlet matches the ports on many static woodworking machines. The 750W motor draws up to 13A, so a normal workshop socket will do.

Unplug the extractor before emptying the bag or changing it. Check the hose is firmly on the machine port before you start. The no-volt switch stops it restarting after a power cut, but still switch off at the wall when done. Keep the castors clear of cables. Empty the bag before it gets full so suction stays strong.
