Video description!
What sets the Record Power Camvac apart from other dust extractors is its multiple motors. You can buy a Record Power Camvac with one, two, or three motors. Because of this, the Camvac creates a lot of air volume to be a good partner for the most demanding woodworking machines and creates enough pressure to handle the small handheld tools. This is one of the reasons I think it is one of the best Dust extractors you can get for the average workshop because you only need one dust extractor for all the equipment in your shop.
The Record Power Camvac does not have a diffuse air outlet. Because of this, it is the perfect dust extractor to build in your workbench! It is a relatively small dust extractor, and most important, because of the one or two air outlets, you can easily distribute the hot air that blows out of the camvac out of the cabinet you build it in.
Sound level
The Camvac is not the quietest dust extractor, but it could worsen with two motors. However, you can easily reduce this level by placing a vacuum hose on the air outlets. This reduces the sounds significantly, and I created a Whispering box that further improves the sound level.
Filtration
The Record Power Camvac had the best filtration in the market and filtered particles to 0.5 microns, where 1 micron is the average standard.

We would definitely like to see the whole vacuum system being set up along with the cost of every component. Congrats on your new working space!
Glad you are back!
As always great content, you have become one of the top woodworking channels, thank you.
As always another fantastic video.your channel is by far my most favorite woodworking channel.
Well done Dennis on your new workshop, it looks fantastic. Love your videos, always very informative. Keep them coming. All the best.
Rondog, Edinburgh Scotland.
You probably have THE cleanest shop I have ever seen like ever. Unbelievable.
Everything you show is interesting Dennis,I’m very envious of your new workshop.👍👍
Absolutely love your videos! You're very thorough and I'm very jealous of your new shop (and your old one lol). I never even heard of that Record Power dust extraction but am now researching it. It does look like a great solution for a small shop!
Fantastic presentation. Your methodical approach to solving small shop problems is brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing your discoveries with us!
Your workshop looks amazing Dennis. Thanks for sharing
The workshop is looking amazing, Dennis.
Great Shop Denis..... You planned very well. I enjoy your videos and always look forward to your next one.
Excellent video again Dennis, fantastic set up you’ve got there👍
I’ve missed your very informative videos Dennis. This one is very timely as dust extraction in my small workshop is one of my next projects.
The benches are looking great by the way👍
Yes, would like to see the entire system and install. Also, costs of your supplies. Thanks for all the videos you do. I love to see how you new work space is progressing. Cheers from Ecuador.
Thanks Dennis. You really hit the target with this one. Welcome back!
Glad you have returned, great video, dust extraction is very much needed and as you point out loud. Love the whispering box build. I would like to see the build in one of you videos. Thank you for sharing your awesome project with us today, stay safe and have an amazing week. From Henrico County Virginia
Hi Dennis, I have had my camvac for about 7 years now, purchased well before record power acquired the brand. I also split the hose to reduce the sound. I still added a steel dust deputy to it to extend the life of the filters. I still ended up adding another two extractors as on long runs I did find it dropping off. But a great extractor and I think we'll worth the investment.
I really like the whisper box idea, as I added filters to the end but that reduced the exhaust flow rate, so I will have a go at making one.
You also got me into the black mdf as well which creates a really lovely contrast.
Great channel and love the China series, I have purchased quite a few products off the back of them.
Thank you. I Very much appreciated your comprehensive and real world run through! I will most definitely be looking into this system, as it brings together everything i think should be available, but don't really see much of. Plus, your sound baffle box is quite well done!
very nice set up Dennis, well done.
Thanks for the info Dennis on the vac system, I have already seen it @ Baptist but never realised it was so powerful. Enjoy your workshop!!
New sub just came across your channel a couple days ago. I love your content and thank you for taking the time to put this out here for everyone. You are very straight forward and informative.
As always, a great video with some great content
Keep up the good work
Looking forward to see you build your new workbench.
I was so impressed with my CamVac that I went back and bought another one, I now have two in my workshop, they are amazing 🤩 great video as always Denise
Excellent! Your shop looks very professional.
Glad you’re back. I hope will be treated to frequent videos now that you’re settled. Between you and Paoson woodworking I have been given great inspiration for my SHOP.
So great to see you. Again another fantastic video
Thanks Kate!
What a dream workshop you have there!!!!!
and the Whispering box??? amazing!!!!!!!
congratulations!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the video. Keeping on filming.
I’ve had a two motor cam-vac for about 14 years and think it’s one of the best for a small workshop.
Your woodshop look so nice!
I really like this setup.
Your box for the sound, is well vary nice and well though out !
Thank you from the USA
Yes, please do show the set up on your whole system! I just ordered myself a 55L 2 motor version and will be adding your whisper box right away. This has been so helpful, thank you.
Hi Dennis, good to have you back hope you had a good break. Looking foward to your new videos. Thanks kmdc.
Very interesting. I have been looking at options for my workshop and I think this is a great solution.
I love your tidy workshop too! 👍😉
Excellent video Dennis. I’m about to purchase a dust extractor so your video was most helpful. Thank you. Peter
Really impressive system, Dennis! Fantastic! 😃
Some day I'm going to invest in something similar!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Damn, your workshop is classy! Really beautiful.
This is such an important video as i've got the same Record Power Cam Vac and I wanted to get rid of the noise it creates..... Great work and I am a big fan of your advice and work ......
Dennis, you have the most stylish workshop ever.
Fantastic video, so helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for the introduction to CamVac, I can see where this is a great solution for small to medium sized shops, including my own. To have enough power to pull from a jointer or planer is very important without having a giant 7 foot tall two stage system.
Would be great to see the parts used in your shop system, tubings gates etc. Great channel!
Hi Dennis, fantastic video! I would love to see the process of you building the duct system from start to finish 👍🙏
Very well done as usual.
Absolutely brilliant
Great break down thanks..looking at dust extraction for a new workshop so v useful.
Thank you, Dennis. This video was very helpful.
Wonderful video Brother.
Dat ziet er uitstekend uit! Ga ik ook overwegen!
Congrats for this overwhelming workshop. That´s the absolute woodworker dream, but unreachable for the most of normal DIY woodworkers. Thank you for the best content i have ever seen and please give us more of this phantastic vids.
Thanks Denis. This looks like a very versatile product that is efficient and won't break the bank.
I could not say it better :-)
Great video, would be very interested in more dust extraction vids
Very neat setup
Love your workshop.
Yes if you could make or show the making of the dust collecting on you work bench would be great.
Great video. This system is interesting and different from what you see out there. I would be interested a detailed video of the layout, but what I would be the most interested in is the numbers. At the conclusion you can show the air flow at each tool in the system, with the length for each tool.
Thank you!
Great video and good advice
Nice touch to add the orange panels. Now you will officially have a proper Dutch workshop!
Great video, I learnt more information from this video than many more watched. 👍
Typical!
I've just given mine to a friend because I talked myself into deciding I didn't need it. May have to get in touch with him and revise my plans...
Another great and thought-provoking - video. Thanks, Dennis.
I can’t say enough about mine. It amazes me this one and others like it aren’t more popular in the states. We run on 110v here but was worth the electrical upgrade
Hi Dennis, more Videos, more China tools. Very nice Shop.
Arivederci Fratello 👍🔝
Great video, Dennis. Please do a video on the entire dust collection system.
Nice presentation and good info, thanks.
Always enjoy your videos, all of them great & informative including the China Tools.
A CamVac Dust extractor for a room size scale, multi-tools is a great setup; many DIY Woodworkers are like myself that don't have a dedicated shop, my garage converts to a temporary woodshop for a project. The smaller dust extractors (Makita, Festool, etc) that are much more than a glorified shop vacuum. I use a Festool 48AC Dust Extractor that I connect "directly to one tool at a time": track saw, circular saws, sanders, hand planer, etc. They may be smaller, but still a dust extractor that works great!
I look forward to larger shop in future, I'll defiantly look apply your suggestions of design & hardware.
Thanks for taking the time to create and review this system. I just received the CamVac 55L system and am excited to get it hooked up. I'm in the US , so getting one shipped to me was no small endeavor. I'll be making the exhaust baffle system as soon as I get it hooked up. Great job and keep up the great reviews
How did you go about getting on of these to the US?
I'm also in the US, where did you get yours from? I'd like to order one myself for the shop I'm building.
@@petenelson8136 @tacar300 I ordered it from @stockroomsupply in Canada. They ship to the US.
@@Lowsideslide Thanks, I subscribe to their channel and that's where I'd seen the CamVac and where I thought I'd be buying one once I get my shop built. Good to know they got it to you, and glad you like it.
as always clear well expressed opinions and innovative solutions Well Done
Great video. I’m currently at the stage in deciding what extraction to use so I’d definitely like to see a vid of how you’ve assembled the pipe work 👍🏼
I second this! I have recently built your workbench and am still a bit up in arms about the best way to set up ducting inside. And yeah as many have commented, the black mdf looks gorgeous.
It would be great to see the ductwork build video. I’m hoping to do a similar build for my new workshop so will wait patiently for it. Thanks in advance.
Hi Denise, thanks for another great video and helpful knowledge. You are doing great job and it is pleasure to watch your episodes. By the way, cannot wait for shop tour ;-) my garage / workshop should be finished soon so I can start equipped it with tools. Dust extraction system is for me very important and thanks to your recommendation I will go for CANVAC. all best, robert
I think it is a good choice!
Good video, over very well done! Good explanations with just the right amount of detail for me. Thank you 👍🏻😊
Mooie video weer zoals altijd.
Excellent, extremely informative, excellently explained, narrated and very clear.you deserve to go on to be a very succesful channell and I have subscribed on the strength of this excellent video alone.. Well done!! Thank you Dennis, . Alan.. Menorca Spain
These vacs are a beast! Far out perform the Festool extractor. I have 4 in my shop and with the hose silencer’s in place it is very quiet. I have one for my drum sander and the noise of the drum sander is louder than the vac.
Thank you for your video it was very instructive and was great in helping me select a dust extractor. I bought a CamVac CGV386-5 90 L 2000 W dust extractor and the suction was amazing but noisy 90dB. Then I build your whisper box which works great dropping the sound down to 78dB with both motors running, which is quite acceptable.
Great video and information
Tnx again HOW-D. And yes ‘it’ is more than interesting enough to make another video. Please do!
Top video weer Dennis. gr Jaouad
Another awesome video. Would love to learn how you put your dust collection network together along with your thought process of why you did this way and any lessons learned. Thanks and keep them coming, can't wait for your Laser video. Have you considered a CNC router? Love my Onefinity.
Absolutely show the build please great job sir. You now have a new subscriber.
Definitely think about giving some review of plumbing you did on your system. I have a good 3 motor cyclone that runs gated 4” pipes to all stationary floor tools, but need to make some improvements for smaller handheld tools
Great video!
Great video! Also every time I see your Black MDF I'm so jealous. In the USA still haven't been able to source in Florida at a reasonable cost.
It does look awesome.
Awesome Video as always.
I would be interested in an extra Video regarding the pipe system.
Love your shop never have I seen anything like it. I share wish we could get that black MDF here in the US
Being an American, I have cheap shopvacs connected to 5 gallon buckets, various non-compatible hoses, and a miter saw stand built from 3/4” plywood with knots and 3 layers.
i took your video as inspiration and built my own quick'n' dirty silencer out of OSB and including a 180° turn inside the box. The difference is night and day. -5db (!) plus the high pitch noise cancellation!
Great minds , I bought one of these in January for all the same reasons and its been great so far. The suction is so strong the outlet covers pop off ,twin motors are working perfectly with my spiral block planner thickness. Can't recommend enough. Would love to see the bench build with dust kit added, the more workshop build videos the better please Dennis .
Hah, even on a normal planer head kicking off 330mm long shavings it doesn't choke. It sucks it all up without complaining barely leaving anything behind for cleaning.
Great video as always, Dennis! I would also like to see you doing a video on the piping. You have managed to become my CZcams guru on the subject of dust extraction, which is well deserved. I like that you always review how much dust a machine produces, and work on reducing it. Keep it up! Record Power does seem like a good solution for most, but when doing the math, the airflow is not very high. Your medium extractor is spec’d at 108 L/s, translating into 389 m3/h, while your Felder RL140 (?) manages 2500 m3/h. So I would be surprised if the RP could manage handling a planer over time.
You are right, but that is why I have also a big system. But for the average workshop, I think the one will do in most shop. And the big Felder is not suited for handling a small handheld tool.
The small planer I Used will be no problem. It also have a very small airport. But I think it will handle a planer with 4 inch inlet very good. When you have a cabinet saw and not a hose to the blade inside. I think this record power run short. But for a small table saw, I think the record power Camvac does a better job than a 2 horse power stationair dust extractor. And it is so convenience from size and noise.
Good question and good answer
Ok you sold me on the Cam Vac. Like you said I got a (cheap) Gamma workshop vacuum, and then a much larger but still cheap HBM extractor. Together it's far to big and bulky! If this thing can handle it all, it's definitely perfect for my small shop!
I'll definately consider one of the camvacs after watching this, just need my current one to break first!
Thank you so much for your videos👍
You should make a current detector relay for the dust extractor, so that it starts automatically when it senses you use a tool.
I'd really like to see a video of you installing the clear piping system please, I'm assuming you accounted for it when designing your benches.
you can not make as wait this long between videos LOL. great video your shop looks amazing
Sorry :-)
Dennis, great video well done. As a particle technologist (day job) this subject really interests me. Traditional solutions have needed both a shop vac (for the sanders etc) and a chip extractor for the planer / thicknessers etc. The former is high pressure / low volume (HP/LV) and the latter is low pressure / high volume (LP/HV). I bought a Camvac 2 motor 386-4 several years to get around this. What people fail to realise is the HP/LV shop vacs will never be able to pick up the larger particles. I use a Festool M class for that and will continue to use it as I have it! This is where they work best with their 30mm approx hose. The LP/HV chip extracts suffered terribly when you put a smaller diameter hose on them (often down to less than 10% capability). Even a moderate length of 100mm flex hose seriously degrades the flowrate (velocity) through the system. Chip extractors are really aimed at short length of smooth bore high diameter pipes. Even 100mm is 'small', think 150mm as what you should use though most come with 100mm so are constrained from the outset. So volumes out of the chip extractors are regularly less than 50% of manufacturers figures with small lengths of large diameter pipes like 100mm on them. These Camvacs are decent flowrate at high pressure and therefore make a decent stab at everything. In real world situations they often perform much better than the large chip extractors as they do not loose flowrate due to the high driving pressure. If I was doing this again I would buy a 3 motor Camvac. At the moment I have my Festool and Canvac 386 2 motor though I must admit a 3 motor unit is on the horizon :). The idea of keeping to short flex hose and moving extractors around appeals. My cyclone and baffle units attached to my current units suffer low loss of performance due to the high driving pressure, something that cannot be said for chip extractors where losses can be massive. I find the advice on airflows needed on things like planer thicknesers and performance out of chip collectors to be poor and the influence of pipes can be massive and is often ignored in designs. The world is obsessed with flowrates (velocity) but they need to also consider the pressure. One cannot be considered without the other. The other recent complication is we used massive flowrate to pick the large shavings from 2 / 3 blade planer thicknesers. Spiral blade produce finger nail size particle which need a fraction of the velocity to pick up (read flowrate) but advice has not been updated to follow this change. Well done, great video.
I agree with you 100%. That is why I call it te “perfect” dust extractor for the average workshop. I think the camvac can handle this well. The reason is what you described. I will adress the technician part in another video. Thanks for your comment
"Particle technologist"? "High diameter"? "world obsessed with flowrates (velocity ) but they need to also consider the pressure?" Whatever the field "particle technologist' is, its doesn't cover dust collection, basic engineering or science.
Dust collectors are designed to trade off some air pressure for air volume in order to capture dangerous airborne particles. You don't see them until your entire shop is covered with fine dust. The sub-micron particulates are responsible for pulmonary damage and other health concerns. They linger in the air for hours and become airborne again when disturbed. In addition to a dust collector, you should also have an air filter as well.
The CamVac is nothing more than an overpriced shop vac posing as a dust collector. It's a 15 gallon drum combined with a cheap universal motor found in home appliances and various power tools. If your lungs don't fail on you, your hearing will. For the same price, you can buy a REAL 2HP RIKON dust collector and one or more Ridgid ShopVacs!
@@bobweiram6321 From my perspective Bob, I am no Shil, I am a nationally recognised expert in particle technology for the last 30 plus years in academia / industry for the UK (and internationally). I have no involvement in Record Power or the woodworking industry or for any company other than the one that employs me (and it has zero links with anything here we are discussing). I have supervised more than 50 PhDs in this general area of particles in fluids and have developed many filtration system for challenging environments. I am here as a hobby woodworker who bought a Camvac to learn about it's capabilities. i have been involved with respirable dusts for almost 40 years now. My day job involves designing custom filtration systems, I love simple solutions like universal motors / steel drum. That is engineering, KISS, that is why it works, it addresses the basics. Link attached for Rikon 2hp vs Camvac that a dealer for both did recently for interested parties to view.

Definitely would like to see how you setup the dust extraction.
What an great video. Thank you. I’m not sold in the product because to make it really good I have to build things and I don’t need to do that with its competition. But you detailed discretion was awesome. I am a new subscriber. P.s, you have done very nice, but expensive tools.
My dad is currently building his own dream wood workshop, as a beginner woodworker. He happened to have bought himself a Record Power dust bin too - so this video will be perfect for him! He was also wanting to hide his dust connectors/pipes in his workbenches. It would be great if you could upload that process as well. :) Looks very clean!
Fun, wish him good luck! nothing more satisfying than create your perfect work / hobby space :-)
Vette video man, en natuurlijk ook als landgenoot
