Dust extraction and dry sanding

Dust extraction and dry sanding

Rupes portable vacuum case
Handy and practical like a normal overnight case it hides inside a powerful vacuum cleaner for the dust extraction service.
With its powerful 1150W motor, the portable vacuum case can be used in any working field for the extraction of sanding dust and the cleaning of any surface. The included accessories provide easy cleaning almost everywhere, tidiness, comfort and security. When you are using an electric tool you have a device to control the air flow at your disposal: the right way to avoid the annoying dragging effect.
Besides connecting the hose to the exhaust, you have a strong air jet to blow, dry, inflate, or whatever you want.
The three metre extraction hose, the electrical socket for an electrical tool and the shoulder strap (optional) enable you to use the vacuum case wherever you need it.

Size can matter
Small repairs cannot stay small if all you've got is a big sander to use. Bradleys Australia has solved the problem with its micro orbital sander with a five centimetre Velcro head. It is ideal for plastic bumper covers and curved areas like door frames.
5 cm disks to fit are available in 180, 240, 320 and 400 grit. The price of the micro orbital sander is $115 plus GST.

Cleantec HEPA
In response to guidance notes from various OHS organisations around Australia which recommend the usage of a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter in vacuum products, Festool has provided information about its Cleantec mobile dust extractor range - the first mobile dust extractors sold in Australia that are supplied with HEPA filter as standard.
Dust is a serious health hazard and can cause severe problems such as asthma, scarred lungs and cancer. Workplaces generating any dust, such as auto sanding, refinishing and welding, would benefit from a HEPA filter. Festool?s objective is to help improve OHS in those workplaces.
Festool?s CT dust extractors: CT 22, CT 33, CT 44 and CT 55 are the first mobile dust extractors sold in Australia by a power tool manufacturer to be supplied with HEPA filters as standard. Festool?s HEPA filters have a dust separation efficiency of more than 99.95 per cent.
Festool CT mobile dust extractors can be easily connected to most power tools available on the market. However, Festool power tools have been designed and manufactured to provide maximum dust extraction performance for over 80 years, as part of the company?s ongoing innovative strategy.
