CATERPILLAR Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 I took apart my highschool's shop vac to see the dirtiest filter I have ever seen. Going to order a brand new one and I took the whole thing apart and cleaned it all just waiting for the filter . 5

comp56 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 that is typical for a shop vac without a bag or dust deputy, buying filters is a waist of money as far as I'm concerned 3
rfwjr Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 Just tap it on the ground and you will be ready to go. 1

Never knew they had reusable filter bags? I picked up a Gore CleanStream filter at HomeDepot and love the thing. A little pricey, but two years later it still cleans up just like new. I'll have to try one of these reusable bags with it, thanks for the tip. 1
Logan Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 Thats probably the original filter in my shop class one time there was this one kid vacuuming out the cabinet table saw and he didn't realize the vac was full and all the saw dust was shooting out the back just as fast as it was sucking it up after he was done there was a good 1/2 inch of dust spread 10 feet back and 3 feet wide looked like it just snowed 2

I use the M18 vacuum whenever possible in houses, and that has a washable filter that doesn't collapse like a shop vac filter.... it doesn't take much to dry it out, either. 1
