[Shop-talk] Shop Vac

[Jim Franklin]

I've had a Ridgid for 25 years, and it's still going strong. Loud as fighter jet though.

A friend has a WAP (German). Nice and quiet but it will cost you. If the Ridgid ever dies I'll look at quiet ones. 

Oh yea, my Festo saw came with a vac. Small, and uses bags, but it's quiet as well. Not very burly american "empty the cesspool" like the Ridgid is, but good for medium duty.
