Howdy, Yesterday I bought a new, cheap, ShopVac ($30) specifically for sucking up sanding dust from finishing operations. I don't care to operate the vac with the dead rats in it, in my pristine, abacteriological Finishing Parlor. Too much stuff comes out the "rear-end". Well, it occurred to me that all those EXPENSIVE turbines for HVLP spraying are really just vacuum cleaner motors in fancy boxes. AND, as this thing has an "in" and "out" port, why not just put an adaptor on it to run my HVLP gun ??? If it doesn't have enough "Oomph', I can hook 2 together. ( "Two stage" ) Or three.......( Bwahahahaha!!!) I'd put them in a big plastic storage bin, with some weatherstip around the top edge to seal the lid tighly and prevent explosions. Then I'd vent the box to the outside with some clothesdryer duct. Or put the whole box outside, and pipe the air in. See any dummoes with this conception ?
