Re: Vacuum for the machine shop

Ken,

Have you ever had a Fein vacuum. They're rated pretty quiet-- around
6o decibels. One of the ways they do this is by venting the air
around the rim of the canister instead of through a vent pipe.

I've not examined the Shop Vac QSP model but found it tempting. Just
wondered if you could offer a comparison to the Fein and verify
whether or not it has a vent outlet.

Now to the point: someone suggested two hoses at the router, one for
intake and the other to blow air towards the intake. I was wondering
if the canister vac could be rigged this way. Yes, I suspect heat
could become a problem, but a second drop canister could mitigate
that.

Just a thought.
