Do the hepa filters make alot of difference or is it down to the vacuum

Had it a good few years now n bit battered n slight split plus I thought they didnt retain the fine dust like the L lass and m class vacs do, If they do I'd buy another tommow

Ideally I want one woth power take-off too

The festool is good for dust but not so good on chippings etc so need a more work horse one

My van upto buffers with gear so I can't fit 2 vacs in so I'm in need of a duel purpose vac and dust extractor in one, borrowed my mates festool midi yesterday to try out and not upto picking stuff any larger than small wind chips as it blocked few times,maybe I'm used to my old Henry real work...

Just seen the new trend vacuum, it says it L class too also power take-off, looks more like a workshop vac than a extractor, around 180 quid give or take

So pretty much I'd be better getting a l class extractor but if I want one that does the work of a shop / worksite vac as well as a extractor il be struggling

My old Henry used to pick up wood shavings no problem but not great on the fine dust, I'd use it and most shavings would be sucked up but afterwards there would still be a layer of dust on everything so guessing it kicked back out the fine particals or misses them totally

I will use what ever I get more for mitre saw, plane etc do will be shavings mostly but now n then sanding too

I've looked at the festool midi and a few others with power take off. But is it possible to get a extractor and workshop vac all in the same machine, I've read the festool midi is mainly a extractor,and not a vac, id rather have just the one machine in van if possible

I'm guna get replacement ts55 mainly down to the guarantee and positive reviews, not many bad ones out there

not tired my level on it ,packed back away now ready for collection but there was a wobble on flat surface , not much but it's there ..., I'm maybe being picky but the little scratch got me looking really carefully at it ,it's not a major scratch but shouldn't be there on a branch new tool which...

Well I received my Festool ts55, brand new in packaging with 2 rails packed separate and opened it up and there is a small scratch across the side and the bottom doesn't look totally flat, possibly been dropped I reckon, so I'm returning it next week, starting to think I should av got the dewalt...

Sound info that, il get the stops as well,.. Festool it is then, cheers everyone

Tried out the festool again and it's a nice saw ,Which saw would be better for plunge cutting jobs such like sinks cut out,bob etc from work tops ,just done some worktops today and it would have come in handy for sure ,would I be right thinking the one with riving knife bettter for deep plunge...

My Main worry was 110 or 240 cable being outside as if there was damage to cable, obviously 110 safer but still dangerous if things go wrong, I've got ip rated extension, it's more along the lines of cable and voltage what concerned me,I'm bit split on which to use, I'm pulled towards 110 but...

Only had a quick look as he was going out, off tomoz to try it out a bit more and have a proper look at it

Just tried my mates new one out, really nice smooth cut but the saw does feel abit plastic thought the base would be aluminium or something else but looks plastic

Probably my main issue is when I'm fitting decking or building a gazebo or other exterior works and have my compound saw 240v out which obviously is on 240 v extension , I cover up my saw if it's a shower but never my cable , I do work outside about 25% of time , probably I'd be safer with 110v...
