Default Can I Put A Wet-Dry Vac In A Cabinet?

DerbyDad03 was heard to mutter:
I have a 8 gallon wet-dry vac that I want to put inside a cabinet. Roughly 24" x 24" x 29". The hose
and cord will come through a hole in the side. The door will be a simple overlay style with a latch.
I'm trying to save space but also keep the noise down.
Do I need to add some holes in the back for exhaust? The cabinet certainly won't be air tight, but is
the door and hose hole enough? Thanks.

Thanks. I like the baffle system. I'll have to see if I can do something like that. I have to be
exact with my height since this is a miter saw cabinet and the saw's table needs to be the
same height as the workbench next to it. I don't know if I have room for the double shelf.

Maybe I can do something on the side.

BTW...his electrical skills suck compared to his woodworker skills. No Romex connector
where the extension cord goes to the switch box and his switch is upside down. No
connector/strain relieve is a dangerous situation.
