I'm guessing that a numatic is a henry hoover?

 If so it'll be more than good enough as long as the dust is fine and not lumps bigger than you are used to dealing  with.

hi there

yes get your henry out and use that, and evn small lumps will go up it as well,

it'll empty out the grooves in floorboards no problems at all.

I know I harp on about it, but I really believe the fact that water filtration vacs, hold on to fine dust, rather than send it into the atmosphere, makes them far superior.

What the machine picks up, it retains in water and you flush it away.

They cost a lot more than the Henry, but worth looking at, there are no bags to buy, they have a cool run motor, the water filtration allows 100% vac power, without loss, you can add aromatherapy oil to the tank, to leave a pleasant odour.

When you finish a job, you dump the soil laden water.
