1. Get a better filter for sawdust. Blue is better. Green is best. 2. GET A BAG! Don't just use your drum. A bag is better for filtration of fine dust. 3. Use a nozzle. A car nozzle or crevice tool are better than just the hose end. 4. It is NOT horse power. It is PEAK horse power. No small vacuum could possibly be 5 Hp. That would blow your 15A circuit in a second. Contact me for more info on your HD1640. I designed it. John Wolford.
Thank you John! Mine is RIDGID WD16400. I lost my accesories and I can't find the right ones. Are these extensions and nozzles 2.5 inches in size? can you help me on this? Also, can you share some links where to get the accesories you mention? Thank you again!
@@Brads-WoodshedI checked them out online and they are still $60. I'm guessing they are often on sale for this price. Apparently they sell a higher-end model for more
Passed judgement too quickly.. I didnt have the lid closed all the way and thought it wasnt working well at all. Once I made sure the lid was closed it works well.
One thing I did with my Shop-vac was put it outside in a deck box and ran the cord and hose through a hole in the wall. I picked up 30 ft of hose on Amazon and plug it into a switched outlet. When it's on the only thing I can hear is the air being sucked into the hose. Also I removed the filter from it and only run a screen over the impeller intake on the inside of the vac and vent it through a hole in the deck box out into the air. that way I never have to change the filter!
Please keep making video tutorials, Sir. This one was quite helpful. I bought the 13 gallon machine yesterday for basement sewer overfow. Blessings in return. 🙏
@@Annabee399 well for what I do, I take it outside and dust it out with air, if I clean with water I let it dry naturally, but installing a pre filter may help a bit!
@@Brads-Woodshed Thanks for your help. I watched a video about using paper towels and painter's tape or pool filter socks if a replacement filter can't be found. Ok, I'm putting it to use in 5 4 3... Sorry for so many questions. So have a relaxing evening.
