They tend to have too many exclusions and usually don't make financial sense. Have you tested the turbine to make sure it's not just the switch ? ShopVac is notorious for using cheap and crappy switches. I'll check the switch. Thanks! I was using the bag for a while...and got lazy.

Thanks! multi meter will come in handy though you can just bypass it if your careful and brave. Quote:I was using the bag for a while...and got lazy. A mirror will be the tool for this. RE: Shop vac recommendations for DC? - AHill - 11-08-2022 Festool, Bosch, and Fein are the Cadillacs of shop vacs. They all have variable suction, which is a real help if you're connected to a sander. Don't underestimate them because they are small compared to Ridgid. Their CFM rating is very good, and they also are very quiet compared to a run-of-the-mill shop vac. As far as collection capacity goes, I have a Festool connected to a Dust Deputy, so I'm not constantly changing filters and emptying the collection reservoir. You can connect a Ridgid to a Dust Deputy as well. There are ways to make your own Dust Deputy if cost is an issue. |
