Metabo SPA 1200 (601205000) 0.55KW 220 - 240V Chip And Dust Extraction Unit

Voltage: 220–240 V. Motor power: 0.55 kW. Chip extraction capacity: 1200 (chip handling capability). It includes a dust filtration system and is built for durable, long-term use in workshop environments.

It's ideal for capturing dust and small wood chips produced by common woodworking tools such as planers, saws, and routers, helping to improve air quality and keep work surfaces clean.

The SPA 1200 uses standard dust-extraction fittings and can be paired with common hoses, adapters, and filtration accessories used in woodshop dust collection systems.

Place the unit on a stable surface, connect it to a 220–240 V power supply, attach your dust-generating tool to the unit via a compatible hose or duct, and ensure the filter and collection bin are properly in place before operation.

Ensure the unit is unplugged when changing filters or emptying the bin. Use appropriate eye and respiratory protection in dusty environments, avoid placing the extractor near flammable materials, and ensure proper ventilation in the workspace.

Regularly empty the dust/chip bin, inspect and clean or replace the filter as needed, check hoses and connections for blockages, and keep the motor and housing free from dust buildup.

The SPA 1200 sits between lighter and heavier-duty models. It offers a balance of mid-range power and chip handling capacity suitable for small to mid-size workshops. For very heavy-duty tasks, larger SPA models may offer higher throughput; for lighter tasks, smaller SPA models may be more compact and cost-effective.

Medium-sized woodworking shops or home workshops where you want to capture dust as you work with planers, table saws, routers, and sanders, helping maintain air quality and reducing cleanup time.

Suction performance is affected by filter condition, bin fullness, hose diameter and length, and any blockages in the ducting. Keeping filters clean and using appropriately sized hoses helps maintain strong suction.

Yes. With its 0.55 kW motor, dedicated dust/chip extraction capability, and durable construction, it is well-suited for professional workshop environments that require reliable dust control and chip handling.
