Best Dust Extractor 2023 | Review after years of use in our Workshop |  

Hi, yes the Dewalt 54v is great for small uses, vacuuming up too, Dewalt sell a vaccum kit that attaches to this , from our experience if your cutting things constant through the day creating a lot of dust then the 54v wouldn’t be the best option, still a good option but not the best , we do use a 12amp battery too, lasts much longer than the 6 or 9 amps. if your looking for something for your longer projects that will be long lasting, no blockages or alarms slowing the process down and not needing to change or empty regular ….then the DWV905M with a home made cyclone bucket attached is amazing , no dust is getting in to the actual extractor, it’s all collected in the large bucket , we must be a good 3 years in , we still use it daily , the extractor is still like new inside as the bucket collects all the dust. (The cyclone bucket isn’t needed, but does make the process alot easier as your hardly emptying it) you can attach these to any extractor too. We just chose the Dewalt . We got the cyclone attachment online and the sealed bucket is an airtight storage container with a sealed lid - we made and glued circular plywood supports inside the bucket to stop the suction from the dewalt folding it in - as I say it’s still in amazing shape now 3 years or so on - Or Festool …… yes another brilliant option too, can’t fault them at all on performance , ours is still faultless after alot of use Just depends on what main uses you need - For us being in one place at the workshop mainly then the DVW905M and cyclone would be my go to for an all day use of something creating a lot of dust If on diffrent projects regular or moving it around alot then the festool or dvw905m using as normal as it’s less to move around , …. Or put the cyclone on a wheeled base , hope this helps 👍🏻

@@topbuildcarpentry Thank you that means a lot. What Festool M CLass corded would you recommend?

@@imtheone4ya328 No problem at all, it sounds like youde prefer the bigger capacity so I’d pay that tad extra for the larger model , I’ve not tested them all so couldn’t compare festool models, but I’m guessing all of there M class will be in the same league based on our use, as is with all Festool tools, they’re great, I suppose the extractors just have added features and diffrent sizes to read up on before you buy 👍🏻

Festool all day long .. & twice on Sunday…

Hi , it’s just using different connections off the cyclone, we have a box of odds and sods with extractor fittings, sure you can buy variety’s on eBay and the just fit the correct ones on that snap together to connect to the dewalt

Hi, yes it’s great , but not tested long term as pretty much from the start its been connected to the cyclone as the use of that for us is removing big amounts of dust so the cyclone was our choice from the start 👍🏻
