    Pay It Forward, Wet/Dry Vac

    3.5 HP, 8 gal, red stripe filter. I think I even have the instruction manual still around. Good for getting up water, shavings, etc. Not so good for getting up dust.

    Vac Gloat

    I appreciate the feedback in my post on ideas for a new vac. And the winner is..(drum roll, maestro)...... I was leaning toward the Ridgid, but Consumer Reports gave this vac higher points (by only one point). Is is quieter than the old one, with or without the muffler attached. It came...

    Your Ideas For Replacing Shop Vac?

    OK, it is the Craftsman 3HP, 8 Gal, Wet/Dry Vac (red stripe filter). It is over 10 yrs old. Still works, but blows air out at the handles (a design flaw for controlling dust). So I am thinking of something that will be less of a dust pump. The contenders for purchase are the Ridgid Pro...

    Joniter to shop vac dust collection

    Want to connect my 6" Delta Professional jointer to my Craftsman 16 gallon shop vac. Went to the BORG and to a plumbing supply house and could not find anything that would work. Looked in my industrial WWS catalog and could not find anything. Surely I am not the first to try and do this. The...

    Shop Vac Quit

    Yesterday evening as I was cleaning up my mess in the garage, the shop vac up an quit. I thought maybe it overheated and a thermal switch shut it off. Left it to sit overnight but it didn't turn on this morning. Does anyone here have any experience with these? It is about 1 year old and I...

    Vac system

    I have been looking around for a vacuum pump to make a bag system and happened on a good buy today. This is a pic I found on the net of the model I got, Robinair Vacumaster 15600 1/2 hp 6CFM and it pulled over 30 inches of vac when we hooked it up using his gauges. It is a two stage rotary...

    Dustless Shop Vac

    Ran across this company at the K/BIS show in Vegas a couple of weeks ago. They appear to offer a highly effective shopvac system. While I don't own one, I thought this may interest some here ... http://www.dustlesstechnologies.com/

    Shop vac muffler

    Saw an interesting article in Shop notes this month that I will give a try, building a muffler for the shop vac. It appears pretty easy to make and cheap with standard pvc fittings and a piece of foam. It is actually quite similar to the muffler attachment on my cyclone system. They claim it...

    vac attachmant

    Anyone using the vac attachment accessory for either the Leigh D4R or the D1600? If yes, your opinion. Does it work well enough to warrant the 109 to 149 dollar price? Think I've changed my mind about the PC 4212 and going for one of the Leigh jigs. That is if the dust control works good. If...
