| Bought one of the better Rigid's (around $175 or so) a few years ago at Home Depot. Not only does it suck  it is much quieter than the others as it had some muffler system in it. Very pleased. |

| I bought a smaller, cheaper Shop Vac at Lowes about a year ago. Use it to suck up cat litter and other stuff. No problems.

| Hey Mark, this wouldn't be for your new CNC machine would it?
If it is, you might want to look into the filtration level (and/or wear a quality respirator) depending on what you're cutting.
For example, MDF is some pretty nasty stuff... |

Partially. Also for the chop saw and sander. Plus general cleanup. I've been using a 3M face filter. |

| I went the expensive route with a Festool CT-36 vac with HEPA filter; it works extremely well with most Festool power tools; and we have used a similar vac for nasty stuff like lead paint and asbestos tile dust, knowing the HEPA filter is going to be as good as it gets for that stuff. Also, fine sawdust bothers my lungs, and I find that I can comfortably do woodworking with this vac without getting dirty or junk in my nose and lungs. So for me it's worth it.

Well, I'm going to eventually install a dedicated dust extraction system to each station with blast gates and such. So, I think the $250 limit is pretty firm. |
