I need to get a better hoover that will cope with the very fine dust created when grinding concrete floors. After a bit of research, I've decided on a "M" class vacuum. Only problem is that they're not the cheapest. Found a Makita 447m ( http://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/...7m 240v 45l wet and dry vacuum dust extractor ) which isn't bad value but also found this (no power take off though) http://www.rgk.co.uk/acatalog/info_SS350. Both about the same price. Anyone use a vacuum with a grinder on concrete? If so, what vacuum do you use and how does it perform? Does it loose suction?
Ok, I'm in the same boat. I did find a metabo asr 2025 that grinds 'upto class m' http://www.metabo.co.uk/Product-catalogue-handheld-powertools.23958+M558d862deff.0.html Whatever that means, but it's half the price of the others Opinions?
The metabo asr35 is class M. Pricey though. Missed out on a return makita for £250. Kicking myself now
The fein dustex looks promising. Its a lot cheaper and HEPA filters are available but the filters are £109.00 (amazon)
As some of you know built my own (post on here somewhere about it) but this is the next one I will be building, just need to sort out an anti-static kit and will try it out same as this guys here as it is the fine dust that kills any machine and the filters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l17CLdqyuts
