I'm looking into buying my first serious vac.
Currently, I've heavily considering the new festool HEPA vacs or the new fein HEPA vacs with variable suction. Either one will be connected to a dust deputy (systainer or not) and used as my primary dust collection (I'll also use a lee valley "Air Demo Bag" and a box fan, or simply open the garage door).
Any thoughts on this?
This will probably be the most expensive purchase in my scrappy shop.
Oh, and the following:
1. I hate loud noises.
2. I'm mostly neander, but will be using a bandsaw, wagner safety planer, and plan to buy the new festool sander. Maybe I'll get a lathe or stationary belt sander.
3. I'm on a budget (pay mortgage), but willing to spend more if there is a significant improvement in outcome. It it's just looks or a brand-name, no thanks.
4. I'm totally just a hobbyist.
Anyways, I'd really appreciate your input. If you know of a lower price option, I'd really like to know!
