    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?

    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
