I was surprised that I could not find any dB specs for any of the small workshop dust extractors that I looked in to. For example Are the CT extractors quieter than the Fein extractors. I am wondering if the CT series is the quietest or if some of the close competitors might be quieter. The club seems interested in buying two dust extraction systems and has asked me to learn what products might meet the needs of extraction and filtration while being exceptionally quiet. With the practical needs taken care of, attention turned to how quiet the CT26 was compared to expectations or apprehensions. The idea of using a modern marvel HEPA dust collector inside the lab has been regarded as an appealing upgrade to the present system. The dust created is minimal in volume, we are working with a tiny needle like air chisel to dislodge the mineral matrix surrounding the bones, so the CT26 collected everything and the HEPA filter was considered a huge upgrade. We do not have the budget to go all out with an industrial style duct system and an big collector placed where no one can see or hear it. The club wants to upgrade from basic shop vac status so I brought my CT26 to the prep lab so they could observe the wonders of combining HEPA filtration with high suction capacity. The club has a long association with official science organizations, and as such we are loaned, and permitted to prepare fossils in service of the associations that mentor the activity. In addition to hobby woodworking I participate in a club that was formed for the enthusiasm of paleontology.
