While the majority of applications don’t actually require a HEPA filter, it is a requirement in some cases. But not everyone needs to spend $1500 on their dust extractor, so back to the matter at hand. Given its twin-turbine design and CFM rating bordering on double what we see from these smaller models, I expect that it would dominate the field. That size requirement actually eliminated the 2017 Pro Tool Innovation Awards winner for dust extractors the beastly Hilti 300 CFM VC 300-17X. These dust extractors are still easily portable and have a decent amount of capacity to go along with it. Additionally, I limited the field to the medium size 8 – 12-gallon range. ![]() The group that we brought in certainly isn’t an exhaustive list of every OSHA-compliant dust extractor out there – it covers the most popular brands. We’ll look to revisit those when they hit the market in standalone reviews. When I started contacting manufacturers about our shootout right after the September 23rd deadline, I was surprised to find that several well-known names didn’t have theirs ready quite yet. In order to be fully compliant, your dust extractor needs to have a filter cleaning mechanism and a HEPA filter to be good across the board. In this head-to-head review, we’re looking for dust extractors that meet OSHA silica dust requirements for working in masonry applications. To answer that question, we have to look at several things, but the most important is the application. ![]()
