Hello all,
After many months, I found my long-lost shopvac the other day (large orange
tubby-looking 'Rigid' brand) - it seemed to have re-emerged with the sudo
cleanup.. very happy about that.
I put a new filter in and installed it back under the chop saw. Please all,
leave it there and do not remove it - it is set up this way to inhale the
dust from the saw so there is less mess and the air remains healthier. To
turn on the chopsaw, simply click on the power strip thats ziptied to the
side - this turns on the vacuum too. I ask that everyone leave this setup
as one unit. If you need to use the rip saw, simply lift the chopsaw stand
off and unplug it, then put it back on when you're done.
For normal shopvac'ing, the tall RED 'ShopVac'-brand shopvac (that I also
installed a new filter to) should be the one used for other jobs. Currently
I saw this one last, also in the secure storage room, but now that the
orange Rigid one is returned the red one should be put the red one back in
sudo room (as I believe it is sudo's anyhow - not sure why it is in the
secure storage room, but probably someone thought it was the best place for
it).
If you need to use the random orbital sander with a shopvac (makes the
sanding pads last much longer and produces far less dust too) -- in the
secure storage room, there is a large black flexible vacuum tube with a
sander exhaust attachment permanently taped onto it (with shiny metal
tape). Attach one end to the the sander, and the other end to one of the
other shopvac's (any one that is not not part of the chop/ripsaw stand
setup) and you're good to go for that stuff, too.
Hope this helps clarify stuffs.
Love,
David
