    OK amteutrs - lets make a shop vac

    Good day

    I have this dry/wet home vac that I’m using for the shop.

    The problem is, after cutting a few times on the table saw, it gets full, the filter gets clogged and the cleaning it, it’s a PITA.

    So, I decided to modify and improve it and that’s the result.

    BTW, I saw one like that on a sale for $39 Here:

    Thank you all for the positive replies.

    Because of the big opening (12” dia) and the large area “filter”, the airflow is restricted only by the motor power, so I’m planning to change the hose to 4” dia (once I can find it here in Poland), and to enlarge the outlet of the fan accordingly.
