Oneida vs Festool for drywall

[Discap]

I have a bunch of heavily textured drywall that I am going to sand the texture off. I have a CT 36 with a dust deputy mounted on top. Any ideas how this setup compares to the Festool vacs with auto clean. I plan to buy the new Planex to do the sanding.

Thanks

Bill

Your Dust Deputy will do just fine. I have sanded a lot of plaster and drywall with my Midi and a cyclone.

Bags tend to clog quickly with drywall dust, like, you lose suction when the bag's only 1/4 full. When I use my cyclone the bag takes about 5 times longer before it clogs, which I think is acceptable.

Texture will be heavily covered in a paint. Won't be plugging bags nor filters as much as straight drywall. Often I rip bathroom walls with an ETS EC 150 using 36 grit or higher as needed. Planex works too for larger areas.

Thanks guys. Might actually try the ETS before spending on the planex
