I have the fien extractor and it works great , but really all it does is suck air. If you dont mind a bit of (or a lot of ) noise you can get whatever rigid vac is on sale and an aftermarket filter and a roll of duct tape for customizing fittings and yer good to go. If my fien was stolen I'de buy it again or maybe the festo becuase I find noise as bad as dust these days.
cheers Rik
We have both Fein and Festool sanders... do you know if the dust extracorts are compatible with both tools?
So they are quiet, huh? That's a bonus.
