Of course not.Â* But we don't have oil wells or refineries here.

But I only have 1 oil well in my back yard.Â* ;~)

I knew it.Â* You have too much common sense to spend $6-700 on a shop

LOL, That multi hundred dollar shop vac, let's call it the dust
extractor, has run every time and as for as long as my 4 Festool
sanders, Domino mortiser, Festool track saw, and Kapex miter saw all
combined. Plus a few other tools. It is 13 years old. I'd buy it
again with out much thought.

When you look at the price of a high-end house vac, it's not all that
ridiculous. Sure, it's a lot more than a "5.5HP" Crapsman shop vac
but a $99 Hoover isn't a decent household vac either.

About 30 years ago I bought a Ricar home vacuum cleaner. Still own it,
and it was similar in price to the Festool vac.
Lite weight, built to last, could suck up and digest a quarter. But we
switched to a Roomba 13 years ago, on our 3rd now, and do not use the
big vac anymore.

I remember Eletrolux vacuums being well over $1000, 50 years ago.

The CT48 works really well the saw, sanders, and routers. SCMSs are
hopeless. I have three cheap BORG vacs (garage, shop, and drywall
dust) for everything else.

The CT and the Kapex work really well, maybe better then the track saw.

Well why not, if you have an oil well in your back yard:-)

My wet or dry Shop vac, which I bought around 1975, and used for around
40 years until I decided it would never break, so I replaced it with a
much quieter vac, still runs like brand new. I'll call it a shop vac
because that's it's name and is what it actually is... and I'm not too
sure how many $hundreds you have to over pay before it converts to a
"dust extractor".

And check this out, all the old hoses and attachments fit perfectly in
my new, Ridged vac. No need to dig another well if I want more hoses and
attachments:-)
