I'm on the market for a shop vac.
I was wondering what other people were using?
Thanks.

What would you class as longer use?
Thanks.

!0 - 15 mins with a vac , 1 hour plus with a extractor when I am turning

Are all the camvacs quiet compared to the record/sip similar style extractors do you know? Or do you have to pick one with some specific spec? Cheers, Carl.
Absolutely; hence a cyclonic separator is good - you get the "big" stuff (anything you can see) to drop into a hopper, and put only the smallest exhaust dust through a really good fine filter.MikeJhn":116cod0j said:The problem with most HVLP extractors is the filtration, most will not capture dust unless they are fitted with a pleated paper filter, most bag filters these extractors are supplied with will not capture dust below 5 microns let alone 0.5.
