Fein Shop Vac - very fine dust extractors
Designed for continuous use, a Fein shop vac has a by-pass cooling system which doesn't rely on cooling air for the motor passing through the filter as on other shop vacs, which can be partially blocked.
Quiet in operation, (about 60 decibels), these shop vacs have six castor wheels to minimize the chance of the machine tipping over.
Suction is electronically controllable on these and other of the best shop vacs, which not only means further noise reduction at lower speeds, but stops hand random orbit sanders getting pinned down to the workpiece.
Automatic activation allows hands free operation with tools from between half an amp up to eighteen amps when they're plugged into the shop vac. Switch the sander on, and the Fein Dustex, (dust extractor), starts up, switch the sander off and the vac stops three seconds later (after sucking up any residual dust).
Hepa standard filters are available for these shop vacs, although I would recommend adding a
cyclone to avoid frequent clogging.
