Now, how much do you value your time at for all the times you're gonna empty that bag ? How much do you value your time at for the additional cleaning you're gonna have to do to get the bag's pores clean like Peter mentions ? You can compute the TVM costs associated with that. If you get the long lifer, you're essentially paying upfront for the xtra disposable bags. How many bags do you think you'll fill in a year ? How many disposable bags would you have to buy before you paid for the long life one ? As a reference, when I used my ETS 150/3 sander, the Domino, and the TS55, my old vac collected almost everything. I don't know if that was just because the vac was so old, or its the older style sander. The sander removes so much material, that my Fein vac wasn't able to get it all. Right now, I'm looking at well over 1,000 linear ft (300+ meters) of it to do in the next month. I'm using pre-primed pine, which is very soft. I do a LOT of glue-ups for deep (over 16 inches) window sills. I use it usually with 80 grit paper and the sander set to its highest speed. Do any of you have issues with it creating too much dust for the CT vacs to collect? I have the older model Rotex that was closed out a little over ten years ago. Anyone else do this that would suggest otherwise? Has the long life bag been a good buy for those of you that went that route? Its not cheap, but if its worth it in the long run, I don't mind paying the extra for it. I'm leaning towards getting the long life bag instead of the disposables. Anyone know of a way to buy the Vac without the hose and save a little money? Well, since the CT 26 already comes with a non-sleeved hose, I'm going to have a fairly expensive hose laying around that I will never use. I'm going to buy the 3.5M sleeved hose too. I've pretty much decided to go ahead and get the Festool CT 26 Vac. A few more questions if you guys don't mind.
