Mitre saws

I recently got a festool track saw and it is very good , the domino is also very good. The dust extraction with two Henry's attached is.
impressive. Yesterday I cut a shelf to size and probably 10+ mortices and didn't have a spec of dust on me.

That's what they market their tools on is extraction. OF2200 on corian with dust guard is brilliant, try without it is a nightmare.
Got the big domino been in the neighbours joinery shop for last 18 months lol must get it back

That was going to be my next question… dust extraction - given all vacuums which aren’t class M are now banned(Henry included!) does anyone reccomend one?
I ideally want bagless. Pointless having the auto start as most tools are now cordless or 110v

We have a big makita extractor/hoover that you can plug 110v into for autostart does use a bag though. Makita do adapters for the 110v and 240v autostarts so it will link with all the bluetooth stuff.

What's best, makita, festool or numatic?
I never used to like doing kitchens because it was a dirty horrible job. Now with dust extraction and powered respirators it's a million times better.

Had a Makita years ago lasted about 2 years. Bosch has to be about 20 years old and some crap been through it, festool if you want compatibility

If your willing to spend the cash hilti dust extraction will be the one. They even do air purifiers now aswell not just connected extraction.
