shop vac
i have a small workshop and can't afford a good shop vac system. i get
tired of buying expensive shop vac bags - i sweep up the larger wood matarial the old fashioned way. i was wondering if there is any harm in using the shop vac without the bag and just dumping it as it fills. |
Does you vac have a large filter, mine has no bag just a large paper
filter. Without either the dust will just blow back out |

I've never used a bag. I did buy one of the paper filters for about $20 and it catches the fine stuff the old filter would miss. Depending on the type of shop and tools you have. look into a good dust collector. If you get one, the 100 cfm is about the best for a small shop, the portables are just not powerful enough, IMO. -- Ed http://pages.cthome.net/edhome/ |

I feel like I am feeding a Troll but just in case you are for real. The only bag you need on a shop vac is the filter bag to keep the fine particles from being blown back into the air. This is attached with a band and covers the motor. A better system uses a pleated filter. Frankly I have never seen any other bag used on a shop vac. I infer from your message that yours uses some kind of liner that collects the sweepings. Or is it just that that little bag fills up so fast? Colbyt |
My Sears has a large horseshoe shaped bag. Holds a lot of stuff and well
worth using.
