Where to find a Planex

[Programmergeek]

I am intrested in a Festool Planex Drywall Sander Starter Kit which is the extractor and plainex, Mfr Part Num: 571579.  I tried several dealers and no one know anything about it.  I relise it is new but I have a need for it now.  I want to find out if the new extractor is worth it since my ohter 3 festool vac clog up all the time with drywall dust and I have to throught the bag out 1/3 of the way full.  If anyone know any one with one or any knoldge that would be helpful.  I am in NJ if that matters since it can be shipped.  Thanks in advance.

Hi PG,

I suggest you start here:
Consolidated Q&A for Planex and CT AutoClean

I don't remember where it is, but I just saw a post from Shane in the last couple of days that the CT36AC shipment hadn't arrived yet and probably wouldn't until about mid-March.

For the Planex itself, you could check with the big 3 online dealers. tool-home.com, FestoolProducts.com, and Bob Marino. Capital Building Supply has also recently joined the FOG and they say they have some in stock.

One more thing…

A Dust Deputy, especially the Ultimate version, may help extend the life of the bags in your current vacs.

I should have one extra next week. Like Ed stated, the new CT is backordered as is the hose and most of the accessories and consumables.
