Hello. I know this has been posted many times, and I have read many of the postings. I have decided on a Fein, that being said there is allot of discussion on what vacuum to purchase, and many of these postings may be outdated since they were created. So, the question is simple, what Fein vacuum would you purchase today. I am going to have my table divided into 3 sections, small, medium then the full 48" x 96". I run a sign shop so what we rout out varies job to job.

Thanks in advance-
Devin

you really need two. but for less then the cost of one you can make a two motor setup that will run at about 75 db's so it is not quite as quiet as a fein but more powerful then two and it costs less. if you want one go for this one
two of these the fien turbo III the older round one is a better choice.

and a wooden box and some effort will do you well. if you can handle more noise you can get more powerful motors in 120v or 220v though 86 dbs is about as low as you can get.
but it is still better then 100dbs
