Getting vacuum hoses off the floor!

| Posted in Power Tools and Machinery on
Hi all! After much pacing about, plus considerable head-scratching, I came up with a solution for 4″ vacuum hoses getting in the way, metal lines costing a fortune and general mayhem in my shop. A Delta vac. unit with a shop-made stand plus a bag from American Fabric Filter. The original bag from Delta leaked plus it had a zipper that belongs on a prom-dress.
No more dust OR hoses!

Good idea!
HH,
I built about the same thing on my saw. I added a 2nd stage to keep the bag cleaner. I find the bag needs to be cleaned often to maintain a good vacuum. I'm sure I loose vacuum with the 2nd stage as well. But the bag is now filled with just the finest dust, and stays cleaner longer.
I did that.
1.5 HP Penn State portable on a shelf next to the saw.
Dewalt Hybrid which I still haven't enclosed the bottom so the dust collection isn't quite as good as it could be. But maybe this weekend.
