M class extractors filter 99.9% of particles and are the correct choice for most Australian trade work.
Hardwood, MDF, plaster, concrete, brick and anything releasing respirable crystalline silica all fall under M class. If you sand, rout, saw or drill any of those, this is the class you need.
Searching for an M class vacuum? This is the right page. M class is a machine rating, not just a filter rating, covering total leakage as well as filtration.
Automatic filter cleaning holds suction through the job. Tool-triggered start means extraction runs only when the tool does. Adjustable suction stops thin material lifting.
For general nuisance dust only, L class is sufficient. For asbestos, lead or mould, you need H class. Full comparison in the L, M and H class guide.
