CT Midi M filter vs Hepa filter

[jbarr]

I have searched this but couldn't find an appropriate answer.

In Australia the CT Midi, that I haven't purchased yet, comes with a M class filter, the Hepa filter is an optional accessory. I am a semi serious woodwork hobbyist in that I do sell a few of the things I make but what I'm trying to get my head around is it worth changing to a Hepa filter or is the included M filter good enough for woodwork?

The standard M filter is fine for woodwork.

HEPA is an American standard, and it is not used in Europe and Australia. European regulations for work safety are very strict, and M class is considered as the proper filtration standadard to keep you healthy.

Thanks Alex that's exactly the answer I was after as I didn't want to spend extra on an already expensive vac. The new CT15 comes with a Hepa filter and that confused me as to which was the better filter for woodworking. I can use that extra money for the bluetooth remote.
