    Shop Build...should be a fun journey...

    Dust Extractors - Festool competitors

    Thread Starter: Matt Day

    Going off the CT26 v Midi thread, who is the competition for Festool? Flex, Metabo, Bosch, Makita, Dewalt? I’m looking for a lower cost alternative to Festool that still performs well. It will be used for a future track saw, hand sanders, routers, etc. No big chip producers. I’m okay adding a...
