Fein - Fein- HEPA Turbo III Shop Vacuum
The Fein HEPA Turbo III wet/dry shop vac features a HEPA filtration system and an on-board tool outlet.
Oct 27, 2011
Two features that have become state-of-the-art for shop vacuums are variable suction and an onboard power outlet. These features are related: If you have a tool plugged into the vacuum, the combined amp draw might trip your breaker. So it’s nice to able to dial back the suction a bit to draw less power. Also, with some sanders, full suction will pull the tool against the wood, making it harder to move it.

Grizzly G0495X Industrial Helical Cutterhead 8-in. Jointer
Regardless of the board’s grain, this jointer produced excellent results. Its fence was totally flat, worked smoothly, and locked well, staying in place even after jointing multiple edges. Getting the fence to 90° was very easy, but the 90° stop was a little tricky to set and the fence did not go back to square when using it. For those who would use it, there is also a digital depth-of-cut scale.
