    For dust collection on the Rotex, it is hard to beat one of the Festo vacs. I use the CT-22, but the midi is rated very high as well. The advantage of the Festo vacs, IMO, is they are quiet, have variable suction control, come with an auto switch that switches on the vac when the tool is switched on, and has a HEPA filter, so the dust stays in the vac.

    OTOH, I assume you are not referring to a traditional dusty, as they are not designed to work with smaller hand tools. Most any decent shop vac will get you there, but make sure you can fit the hose to the tool.

    You will be pleased with the Rotex I am sure.
    Cheers,

    Bob
