4-016-09-0033 Mesh Round Brass Filter Screen

Need to stop wood dust reaching the vacuum pump on a Homag Weeke console table? The 4-016-09-0033 mesh round brass filter screen is the replacement strainer for VCBL K1 and K2 beam consoles. It measures 15 mm across and 0.8 mm thick, built as two layers of non-woven stainless steel — 0.1 mm and 0.07 mm openings — clamped inside a brass ring. Schmalz number 10.07.01.00211, HOMAG Weeke number 4-016-09-0033. Swap it whenever a pad, hose or magnetic valve is serviced.

A beam table that loses vacuum halfway through a cycle usually comes back to three things: dust and chips reaching the vacuum circuit, a strainer clogged or torn for months without anyone lifting the cover, and a service job where the valve is replaced but the old filter goes back in. The third one is what kills a pump.

The 4-016-09-0033 mesh round brass filter screen is the strainer for that circuit. It is 15 mm across and 0.8 mm thick: two layers of non-woven stainless steel mesh with 0.1 mm and 0.07 mm openings, clamped into a brass ring so no layer can lift under vacuum.

It sits in the console of beam tables K1 and K2 and runs on Homag Weeke PTP CNC centers. The same 15 × 0.8 mm screen fits consoles carrying Schmalz vacuum blocks, so it is listed twice — Schmalz 10.07.01.00211 and HOMAG Weeke 4-016-09-0033 — and Felder, IMA BIMA and Masterwood machines with Schmalz consoles take it as well.

The finish is brass, and the current batch reads gold under workshop light. Nothing on the part is setting-dependent: it is a drop-in consumable held by the console cover, so replacement takes minutes. Ordering it with valves, gaskets and locating rings removes the one reason the old filter gets reused.

What separates this screen from a plain mesh disc is how the layers and the ring are built together.

• Two mesh layers — a 0.1 mm non-woven stainless layer takes chips, a 0.07 mm layer behind it takes dust, so only filtered air reaches the pump.
• Brass retaining ring — the mesh stack is crimped inside a 15 mm brass ring, so no layer can slide, fray or lift under vacuum.
• 15 × 0.8 mm envelope — 15 mm outer diameter, 0.8 mm thick; it drops into the console recess with no trimming or adapter.
• Two OEM numbers, one part — HOMAG Weeke 4-016-09-0033 and Schmalz 10.07.01.00211 sit on the same screen, so one stock line covers both catalogues.
• K1 and K2 console coverage — specified for the K1 and K2 beam console tables of the Homag Weeke PTP centers, and also used on Felder, IMA BIMA and Masterwood machines with Schmalz blocks.
• Stainless working surface — non-woven stainless layers in a brass ring, so wood dust and coolant mist do not corrode either.
• Service-matched replacement — the job that swaps a magnetic valve also swaps this 0.8 mm screen, putting both on one maintenance visit.
• Consumable, not a repair — a torn screen is replaced in minutes rather than patched, which is what keeps dust out of the pump.

A maintenance planner rarely gets to choose between two filters — the real choice is between ordering a small part and hoping a loaded screen lasts one more month.

• A pump costs far more than a screen. A torn or saturated filter passes 0.1 mm grinding dust into the vacuum circuit; replacing it protects the console as well as the pump behind it.
• One part number, two catalogues. The screen is marked 4-016-09-0033 and cross-listed as Schmalz 10.07.01.00211, so purchasing never has to reconcile two stock codes for one 15 mm disc.
• Ends the mid-shift vacuum drop. Dust reaching a K1 or K2 console shows up as pods that release under load; an intact 0.07 mm layer keeps the block holding through the cycle.
• Fits without modification. 15 mm diameter and 0.8 mm thick means no trimming, no adapter ring and no downtime beyond lifting the console cover.
• Cheap to keep on the shelf. At consumable size, a handful of spares covers every Homag Weeke or Schmalz console in a plant, which removes the excuse of waiting for a delivery.
• Ages in step with the parts around it. Changed together with valves, gaskets and locating rings, the filter reaches its service point at the same moment as the hardware it protects.

The vacuum circuit of a Homag Weeke beam console table. The two mesh layers sit ahead of the vacuum line, so wood dust and chips stop at a 0.1 mm and 0.07 mm screen instead of travelling into the pump.

Check the console table rather than the machine brand. If the console is a VCBL K1 or K2 block table, or it carries Schmalz number 10.07.01.00211, this 15 × 0.8 mm screen is the correct replacement.

Every time a magnetic valve is changed, and any time the mesh is torn, pushed in or visibly loaded. It is a low-cost consumable, so the part is normally replaced rather than cleaned.

Both. The retaining ring is brass, which is why the part is sold as a brass filter screen; the two filtration layers are non-woven stainless steel, 0.1 mm and 0.07 mm.

Yes. The latest production batch reads gold under light instead of the earlier brass tone. Diameter, thickness and mesh grade are unchanged, so it is the same 4-016-09-0033.

No. Once the non-woven layers are loaded or deformed, the openings no longer hold their 0.1 mm and 0.07 mm rating, and cleaning tends to push dust deeper into the stack. Replace it.

It is one screen per unit — the mesh stack crimped into its brass ring. Valve inserts, locating rings, gaskets and vacuum pads are separate items and can be ordered with it.
