I have a RO 125 with the mini dust extractor. I love the system. The mini extractor is perfect for me as I work on boats and have to carry my tools with me from client boat to client boat. The mini is perfect on deck when I’m working outside, small size but not small on suction, stable footprint, far better than round. Can’t say enough about the RO 125, best sander I’ve ever had my hands on. I’m a Festool Junkie, more, I want more.

I got an Attix 12 Xtremeclean vacuum. The filter blows itself clean as I sand things or operate my saw. It’s really unbelievable… I saw a video of it on http://www.industrialvacs.com and thought there’s not way the video can be true but it was. At long last i have a really really powerful and quiet vacuum with a filter system that cleans itself as I work

I have this Festool sander. The dust collection with the Festool vac, a Fein Vac, or and Alto vac will amaze you. I sanded a large storage cabinet for about 2 hours the day I bought the sander. I had on a black T-shirt and I had NO sawdust on the shirt. Zero, none, nada. Simply amazing. The downside is that as a result, I sold all my other sanders and bought 4 other Festools.

I lust for Festool. I just wish I had the bank to invest in the whole system.
