Actually with a Festool shop vac there can be too much suction from a

suction makes sanding more difficult, so you turn down the vac motor
speed. That probably creates the same effect as your suggestion above.

Festool has a variable speed control on its vacuum??

Mine (CT22E) has a "suction force" dial that is adjustable from 1200W to
350W . You usually run it around 160 cubic meters of air per hour from a
high of 228.

Does it have a built in beer cooler too? ;-)

I'm sure there is a "systainer" that can be used to hold a suitable
cooler that will fit right on top of the dust extractor.

Hmmmm; cooler sounds hard since it would have to be on the suction
side of the power unit, but you could possibly put a coffee warmer on
the output side ... the air is compressed there and should be capable
of shedding heat. This does, however, sound like a great way to add
some find grit to the morning cuppa Joe.
