help choosing dust extractor

[EggMella]

Hi all,

I've about to go round my entire house with a sander and expect this will create quite a mess... I'm thinking of getting a dust extractor to help both during the exercise & for cleaning afterwards. I guess I'll use the extractor on the tool first then to get the dust out of the air/floor second...

I'm going to spend around £100 - £200 can anyone suggest a suitable tool?

thanks

Get a sander with PROPER dust extraction. Then get a long hose and put the extractor outside. The danger is the finest dust which will get through almost any filter. £100 to £200 will not give you a good enough machine, unless you don't care for the health of the other occupants.

Fine dust gets on clothing and gets transferred everywhere, and when you think everything is dust free you take off your overalls and there's another cloud of dust!!

If you look up Bill Pentz on google, you can have several days reading which is scary.

I'm very impressed by the Fein dust extractors with multiple stage filters. The power tool take-off is very useful, too.
