Power sander dust extraction

[RichyB2024]

Hello



I recently purchased a Bosch GET-150 turbo sander which I am very happy with.


Bosch recommended the GAS 35 M for extraction as it has the correct connector, however it is £600 and some of the reviews say it has poor suction after a short amount of use.


My question is: does anyone have experience with this sander and connecting it to different types of extractors. I have a V-TUF M class which is pretty solid and I was thinking I could just buy the Bosch hose and connect it that way.


I’m not against paying £400-£500 for the right machine though, so if a Festool or Mirka extractor can be adapted to fit my Bosch sander I would definitely consider it.


Cheers



Rich

Hiya I looked at the image of your sander
For my tools that are new enough to have a dust extract port I have and use a bowmag ash vac
Bought mine off amazam about 70.00 gbp
I don’t have adapters for my power tools circle saw, band saw, chop saw, so I use gaffe tape.
I forget the filter spec, I think it’s about 1micron or I use my numatic henery with hepa bags
Hope this helps

There are two main classes on Festool. L class and M class.
The difference on the festool is M class has a little beep beep alarm when the bag is full, and L class has no alarm.
Filtration wise they are EXACTLY THE SAME. They take the same filters, they take the same dust bag. The only difference between them is the alarm, and the fact the M class is much more expensive.

So if you go for the festool, just get the L class and save yourself £100+

Festool M class has finer filtration

L class
Suitable for low-to-moderate risk dusts, such as wood or plaster dust. L class extractors are considered entry-level and are used for softwoods and solid surface materials.
M class
Suitable for medium-risk dusts, including hazardous materials, such as hard woods, board materials, concrete, and brick dust. M class extractors are the next step up from L class extractors.
