Good day all, and thank you for any insights folks may be able to offer!
I'm looking at a fresh start equipment-wise for a workshop, and will be doing most work with wood. I'm very new to the Festool range, not having had a need previously to investigate it. This is not a commercial setup, it's for a hobbyist who refuses to put up with tools and equipment that doesn't perform or last well, and that led be to Festool.
On that basis, and the fact that most everything will be done in the workshop, I've picked the CT 48 unit as being an appropriate dust extraction unit, and I know it will need to be an "M" rated unit to handle the wood dust.
That's about as far as I got when investigating this on the website - for some reason I'm finding the options for these a little confusing.
I notice there may also be a CTM 48 AC unit - if this exists, I believe the AC indicates automatic cleaning. Can anyone point me in the right direction to understand more of what this is and what benefit it will provide, so I can make an informed decision?
Additionally, does anyone have thoughts on my impression/choice on unit - I would love to hear from those with experience and who have gone before me so I might avoid some mistakes or pitfalls I haven't realised!
Many thanks again for any thoughts or advice people may be able to offer [big grin]
