Festool Turbine Extractor Systems

[size=13pt]Most members here on the FOG could not justify one of these Festool integrated shop extraction/power systems. But I am curious as to wether any member running a large workshop based business has experience with these systems. They are probably NAINA.

Interesting... "Ideal suction power at the tool due to automatic valve control."

I wonder how that works? They talk about it as a feature but never mention how it's achieved.

From my understanding they're excellent for sanding .... but not for the planing, routing, sawing applications!

I'd love to find a modestly priced source for the boom profiles, brackets and connectors [big grin]
