Is there a dust collection guide similar to the Jigsaw blades / Sandpaper guide?

I'll try to articulate this as best I can, but basically I'm wondering if there is a Festool guide that gives its users an idea of where to dial the variable suction knob on the CTs when using certain tools.  For instance, I know that with a sander you want it to be lower than say a router but are there tools that are in between?  Assuming that all tools work optimally w/ varying suction speeds it'd be helpful to have a guide that lays that out for you (unless, of course, they all work optimally at full speed and the sanders work best at low speed)

Thanks all!
 
Such a thing does not exist as far as I know, and so must be discovered via trial and error or crowd sourcing on the FOG. In my experience, it is only the sanders where turn g down the suction helps, and even then not all of them. So I run both my ETS 150 in full suction without problems, and both the RO90 and ro150 at full suction when in gear driven mode. I sometimes turn it down on the Rotexes when in ro mode, to maybe slightly more than half. The one sander I have found low suction to be a necessity for is the rts400, where I dial it down to a quarter or a third.
