Mikey If I were you I would drag my old shop vac down to Sears and Home Depot and compare it to the two vacuums linked below. I've used both of these vacuums.

2024年8月28日 · Fein, Bosch, and Festool are very quiet options. Fein and Festool are rather pricey, though. I have a Festool dust collector (they don't market them as shop vacs) and I added a cyclone separator that sits on top of the machine. With the additional plugs for your tool, it's the bee's knees. When I turn on the tool, the vac turns on automatically.

2018年1月22日 · That was really quiet. A box will make the shop vac quieter. MDF is better for the box than plywood as it is very dense and will not vibrate as much. Some sort of baffle for the intake port will probably help with the noise. My dust collector makes much less noise than my shop vac and I don't worry about that at all.

2018年3月13日 · I am just about ready to pull the trigger on a new high-end vac (dust extractor), but there is one thing that has me a bit concerned. I have seen a few comments about the failure of the electronics in the vac - possibly caused by static in the hose. It is an expensive fix.

2020年3月29日 · I imagine I would take my domino and vac hose to the store and find something that I knew for a fact would fit. Like mentioned, the Fein hose fits right on the Domino. While it is a lot more powerful, and quieter, and offers better out-of-the-box filtration, both my $40 shopvac and the $250 Fein seem to leave a similar amount of dust in long ...

2021年3月19日 · It comes with 2 holes in the lid. A bigger one and a smaller one. Set a shop vac on top with the hose sucking from the smaller hole. Stuck a bigger hose in the other hole in the lid to suck up the chips/sawdust. Very little sawdust gets from the barrel to the shop vacuum where it is caught in the vacuum filter.

2025年1月11日 · The exhaust is then sent to a big pleated filter and the fine dust is dropped into a bucket. The argument is, it can capture finer partials ( hazardous to your health ) and improves air flow. But when the filter fills up it reduced airflow. When my shop vac, which has a pleated filter fills up with fine dust I loose suctions.

2015年12月14日 · The hose that came with my shop vac is almost useless. The 2 1/2" hose is too stiff. It is fine when hooked up to a stationary power tool like a router table, jointer etc. When you try to vacuum the floor, the hose is inflexible. It often pulls …

2017年3月28日 · On a separate note, I've thought about replacing this tool a couple of times with a cast-iron top instead of laminate, but for some reason, it seems like all the manufacturers of OSSs have gone to some oddball small dustport size. The 2-1/2" port on this unit is perfect for plugging my Shop Vac in.

2024年2月2日 · The Indianapolis Woodcraft had maybe 20 left if anyone is local (or your local store may have inventory). I bought one today on a whim since it was '$150 savings'. My understanding is this is more or less a dust deputy type gizmo, is that correct? I was planning on making some sort of shop vac/ dust deputy set-up.
