Dust collection for handheld power tools

[RichyB2024]

Hello

 

I recently purchased a Bosch GET-150 turbo sander which I am very happy with. 
 

Bosch recommended the GAS 35 M for extraction as it has the correct connector, however it is £600 and some of the reviews say it has poor suction after a short amount of use. 
 

My question is: does anyone have experience with this sander and connecting it to different types of extractors. I have a V-TUF M class which is pretty solid and I was thinking I could just buy the Bosch hose and connect it that way.
 

I’m not against paying £400-£500 for the right machine though, so if a Festool or Mirka extractor can be adapted to fit my Bosch sander I would definitely consider it. 
 

Cheers

If you'll be making lots of dust, it may also be worth putting a cyclone separator (eg https://www.amazon.co.uk/VEVOR-Separator-Retrofit-Collectors-Connector/dp/B0DBYZH4V) between the sander and the vacuum to save on filters & vacuum bags.

thanks for this. I have looked at this before but didn’t realise they were Bosch compatible 

 

any idea what extractor it’s compatible with for the other end? E.g. festool, mirka etc.

No idea, sorry. I just get my lad to 3D print adapters. 

 

Item page says this:

 

"Adaptor set is only compatible with 32mm threaded crush proof hose, common with domestic home vacuums and many fine dust extraction vacuums"

So I went with Trend T33A M class and Cen-etc adaptors. Will update when I’ve tested it all.

Initial test is extremely positive. Comes with rubber adaptor for power tools so cen-tec adaptors not required. Good suction even through the (cheap) 5m hose supplies. The auto-start is an excellent feature. Why anyone would pay 3x more I don’t know
