About this tool
Different tools need different airflow to catch dust at the source. Pick the tool, enter the extractor's rated airflow, hose diameter and length, and the tool's dust port size. The matcher estimates the airflow you will actually get after hose losses, compares it with typical requirements, and tells you what adapters or hose sizes to look for. For fine dust and hardwoods, filtration class matters as much as airflow.
