You guys must've been doing a LOT of cutting and sanding! Of course not being a pro means saving some serious cashola from buying filter bags by the five pack!

The auto clean function apparently isn't compatible with the HEPA filter so you have to use a different filter if you have it in AC mode. That does not surprise me. I still have yet to use my HEPA filter but I really dont have the need in my environment like some do. @SetBuilder with the price of bags one of these would pay for itself quick. http://www.festoolproducts.com/oneida-axd000009-ultimate-festool-dust-deputy.html?utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=CJzVpq7c4tMCFYu2wAodW7UNKQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not the best practice but better than no dust collection at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because its autoclean does not mean the bag does not fill up just as fast Sorry I lack the right english words to properly express myself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 2 CT 36s and a CT 11. The CT 11 has a European plug on it, so I have no idea the last time that one was used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I was thinking you were using the cyclone kit with the Festool, is that accurate? I've been using my Midi with the cyclone for a year now and haven't changed the bag since. It's an awesome addition and is placed on my Midi with the Kapex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No cyclone kit, this is just shop supplied Festool. Most guys dont even know we have it. When I'm done I kind of hide them away in the tool room. We had a 74 in and 2 53in tracks. When I had a ton of 12 footers to rip, I asked my lead man if we could get another 74in track. He had one delivered within an hour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmccabe Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 I am surprised with the large quantity of sheet goods that you guys cut, you do not have a 2700 (100 inch) rail. My most used rails are 2700 and 1400. Maybe you need to keep them small to transport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My most used rails are 2700 and 1400. Maybe you need to keep them small to transport? Like I said, most guys don't utilize the Festool tools we have. Normally those big sheets are cut on a table saw and panel saw. I did not feel like busting my ass lifting all those sheets since we had a huge build to do. I told my lead man man how I wanted to do it and he let me and was happy with the out come. He just kept me cutting for days and the rest of the crew assembling. As I utilize the equipment more and they see it's more productive I will ask for more accessories. A couple of months ago I grabbed a Festool plainer from the tool room. It still had the twist ties on the cord. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
