Mirka DEOS ?

Here's the place to talk about all your table saws, bandsaws, routers and dust extractors. In fact anything that makes noise and uses electrickery.

Mirka DEOS ?

or is it OS. Looking to buy the DEOS 343 but see a lot of suppliers quoting the Mirka OS343. Does anyone have any idea what the difference are.? If any.

TIA

DEOS343 is powered by a mains lead and the OS343cv is connected to a central vacuum system to work so air powered both use the same pads and bearings

:eusa-doh: Thanks Alan. Disaster purchase narrowly avoided ! That's the good news.

But the bad news is that I can't find the 343 available anywhere. The 353 decorators kit is available but at an eye-watering price plus I've got loads of abrasive for the 343.

From what I’ve seen of the reviews they are all recent so a new product, no doubt they make more money selling it as a kit so they’ll make you wait for it to be available in a cardboard box.

Contacted Mirka who pointed me in the direction of folk like Restorate (formerly Rest Express!). Spendy but I've bitten the bullet and ordered one. Just getting the cardboard box version. Once it's arrived will look to see if any of the extraction hoses/connectors I have can be pressed into service.

Size in my hand. Also I have a lot of abrasive already for that size. My decorator has the 353 and it felt just that bit more clumsy. She let me have a go with her sander ;) :o

When I worked at Ax there were two of these things in the workshop bolted to the wall. When I asked why it transpired that a certain member of d'management :eusa-whistle: was apt to borrow one for 'homers' and was extremely reluctant to return it :lol: - Rob
I no longer work for Axminster Tools & Machinery.

OK...you're being too polite to tell me I've been a bit of a wally ;) :)

The abrasive pads are NOT the same size as the hand-held one, as I now know. :oops: And you can't cut the handheld ones down to length because they're not wide enough... :(

If I didn't know better, I'd have said it was a deliberate design 'feature' :evil:
