Which vac?

[Charles Wilson]

I have a PC 325 mag and would like to get a vac for it for dust control.  Which vac would be enough (best) and is there an accessory to fit the dust port on the Mag?

Anyone have any previous experience with using another saw and the CTs?

Thanks,
Chuck

I had that the complement to that saw (mine was the left blade model) and the Festool vac hose fit right up to it.

However the dust pick-up was not as complete as with the Festool saws because the sides of the blade remain exposed on the PC, where shrouding on the Festool is complete.

I was able to trade it along with some other equipment for some carpentry labor and purchased the TS55 and vac together.  It works out well for me for projects I do in a small garage shop.  The dust collection of the Festool equipment is good enough that I also got rid of my large bag style dust collector.

I used a CT-22 with the PC Mag and the DC was pretty good. As Loren said, the open blade lets some dust out. The Festo vac nozzle (27mm) fits right over the Mag DC port. No adaptor needed.
