Pressure Vacuum Cleaner for Whole House

gfretwell - Nehmo - What size motor does your shop vac have? gfretwell - Nehmo - Considering the inevitable leaks, it would take an enormous compressing fan to blow the roof off. (Your shop vac turned around wouldn't make that pressure in a house.)

Amazing Woodworking

No problem with too small of a shop there. Any of those tools kick back you could lose an eyelash! Actually, instead of 1:12, I was thinking 12:1 so I could justify a bigger shop, but then clamp storage would be a problem.

Dust Collection Set up

This system can be attached to a shop vac and wheeled around from tool to tool. The hose can be bent to where you need it and stays in place on its own so it doesn't need to be attached to the machine or otherwise held in place.

Fixing Air Compressor Screwup

If it is brass, you might take the unit to a welding shop and just have them melt the brass out of the threads, which I assume are probably steel or a welded on steel insert. Even if the insert was brazed on the tank, just have the welding shop braze it back on after melting the drain ...

dust collector too weak - ugh

Collectors aren't shop vacs. High-volume at low-pressure. Shop vacs are rather the opposite. Different tools. Necking down a collector doesn't increase the velocity of the air all that much. But, hey, anything is worth a try if it's not working now.
