Mirka Dust Extractor 1230 M AFC is a highly efficient vacuum, combining high performance power and whisper-quiet operation to deliver a dust extraction solution second to none. The Mirka M Class Extractor is made for hard woods, board materials, concrete & brick dust.
Designed for professional use, the 1230Ms powerful 1200 watt motor extracts 4500 litres of air every minute, yet fits inside a compact unit that can be stowed away under a counter or behind a bench.
The AutoStart function increases the lifetime of the motor and reduces noise. Flat top with space for storage and large wheels for better manoeuvrability. Auto-filter cleaning for convenience and consistent performance, as well as an air-flow sensor which indicates when air flow falls below optimal. Hose and cable storage for more comfortable transportation. A fleece dust bag is also included. Mirka antistatic hose recommended (not included).
Daily and long-term exposure to dust is a significant occupational hazard. The amount of dust entering the lungs or harming skin can be strongly reduced by using an advanced and efficient dust extraction system during sanding, which also lessens the risk of a work related disease or a dangerous exposure. The dust-free net sanding developed by Mirka is an efficient way to minimize the amount of dust and dust related hazards in the workplace.

We had a few 1025s before getting this M-class vacuum. Well worth the investment because of the superior capacity and Automatic Filter Cleaning. You won’t regret buying this.
I was having difficulty sanding back spotted gum screens with regular 40 grit paper as the paper was wearing out too quickly and not particularly effective. I bought these hoping for an improvement and they are. Much more effective at removing the existing finish and they last at least 2 or 3 times longer. A couple of comments: 1. it’s much easier to score the surface with the same amount of pressure as regular paper so a much lighter touch is required. 2. The velcro doesn’t seem as sticky as other brands, so it often shifts around on the sanding back and I did have a couple of occasions when the sanding disc flew off. I use a metabo sander in case that makes the difference. I am happy to have found them as they make a truly awful job somewhat easier. Was shipped quickly.
