Makita (cheap) sander dust extraction | any good?

[@FriarRoss]

Thank you for sharing this! I use a makita sander and a festool dust extractor and am excited to incorporate my old bike tire.

Hi Ross. Thanks for your comment. Glad you found this useful. Have a great day. 😀

Hi Colin, thank you for this video. What size is the bicycle inner tube? The festool link is broken

[@ColinKlupiec]

Hi Sonia. Thanks for your question. The size is a 700c-28mm road bike tube. Thanks for the heads-up on the broken link.

[@soniacornejo7277]

Hi Colin, I saw the other video and got my answer. I am searching for the inner tube now :)

[@ColinKlupiec]

Should be relatively easy to find.

Gonna be sanding a house to paint. Would you recommend this or something else?

[@ColinKlupiec]

For roughing down wider surfaces or exterior cladding, or where you need a lighter sander, like for walls or up a ladder, this sander could work quite well. If you need to cut through several layers of paint, you might get better results with a geared sander. Hope that helps. 😀

@@ColinKlupiec sorry should of clarified. I'm sanding layers of paint on internal plaster walls

[@ColinKlupiec]

@@trav17n It should work just fine on water-based paints on internal plaster walls. Enamel paints on door trims and base boards might need a bit of extra effort, but it should work ok for that too.

if you are wet sanding can you use a HEPA bag ( or indeed any vacuum bag?) in your shopvac? My bag and manual for my shopvac says you can't. Then what do you do? And: can one attach a bag to the exhaust port to catch what comes out the back of the shopvac??

[@ColinKlupiec]

Interesting question. No bag is need for wet vacuuming applications. But you do need a different internal filter for wet applications. No bag is required for the exhaust as it has its own filter.

Just what I needed to know. Thanks a lot!

[@ColinKlupiec]

Hey, thanks for your feedback. Glad that was helpful. Have a great day. 😀

[@cjwittmeyer]

where did you get the adapter ?

[@ColinKlupiec]

It came as standard with the CTM MIDI. And you can also buy it separately. www.festool.com.au/anti-static-27mm-reducing-sleeve-for-palm-sanders_204822.html

Did you use a rode ntg5 to record this audio?

[@ColinKlupiec]

Hey, thanks for question. Actually, I used a Rode VideoMic NTG.

[@beanbuilding7158]

@@ColinKlupiec sounds really nice for camera mounted! Nicely done

[@ColinKlupiec]

@@beanbuilding7158 Actually, for this video it's boom mounted, hanging just outside of frame. But I do also occasionally camera mount it. I've enjoyed using the VideoMic NTG. Thanks for the kind feedback.
