FEIN Turbo Wet/Dry Dust Extractor
The Turbo III has a number of features that distinguish it from standard shop vacuums. It also has an enviable reputation within the woodworking industry as one of the best dust extractors on the market.
There are three components to the Turbo III: the power head, filter, and tank. The unit as a whole stands about 26-3/4" high, and has an approximately 17" square footprint. It doesn't take up a lot of precious floor space, and at only 36 pounds, is quite easy to transport to and from a job site. There is a sturdy carry handle on the top of the power head that makes for easy lifting.
That bright orange tank is made from an impact resistant injection moulded plastic that is nearly indestructible. It can hold 15 gallons of dust and debris, or up to 12 gallons of liquid. On the bottom of the tank are six swivel wheels that give it superb manoeuvrability and help prevent it being knocked over or hung up on debris. The wheels aren't lockable, which I haven't seen a need for. Down there you'll also find a water release valve with a protective security cap. I haven't had occasion to use the Turbo III on liquids; if you do, remember to remove the filter beforehand. Around the base of the tank is a black rubber band; it adds a bit of protection when the tank bumps up against objects in the shop. Just below the top rim of the tank is the hose port. There is a small button on the port that secures the hose to the tank. Finally, two steel locking clamps hold the power head onto the tank.

If you work in a small shop, as I do, you'll love the 57.8 decibel rating on the Turbo III. It's arguably the quietest dust extractor on the market; it's certainly one of the quietest power tools in my shop.
At $520 this is not an inexpensive dust extractor. What you do get is a very quiet, powerful dust extractor with a convenient and time saving auto start feature.
