    Question Fein Dustex 40 HEPA Filter

    I have a few Fein Dustex 40 and would like to fit HEPA FIlters to these when cutting hardiplank etc.

    Have not had much luck finding a filter that fits, there are a few links to overseas but was wondering if anyone local has retrofitted a HEPA from another brand to the Dustex 40 ?

    Regards Greg

    Greg, not sure if this helps but Derek has a dustex 25 and has ordered a HEPA filter for his, here is part of his post from another thread.

    Fein charge like a wounded bull for a HEPA filter. As far as I am aware they are only available as an import, and they are about $115 USD from the USA before shipping costs. I wanted one, but not at that price. Luckily there is an alternative.

    CleanStream make and sell a .3 micron HEPA filta made from Goretex. This is washable, re-usable, and much cheaper than the Fein. About $34 USD from Lee Valley. Get the one designated for "Ridgid®/Craftsman® HEPA Filter". I have ordered one.
