I"m looking for a shop vac and was wondering if anyone could recommend
one they were using and/or one they were displeased with.

I'll be using it mainly to clean up dry messes. Dirt, sawdust.
Any suggestions?

Also, I have a ?sawdust? collector that connects to my table saw ( I
inherited it so I don't know anything about it.)
I was wondering if there was something that one could put in line to
collect larger pieces of sawdust or wood CHIPS. It makes a lot of
noise sometimes when it sucks up larger pieces of wood. I've also
been using it to clean up my work areas.....one of the reasons I
thought maybe I'd better buy a shop vac then mess this thing up.

(I'll still need a shop vac regardless.)

All help appreciated.

1. Regarding a vacuum, they're pretty much interchangeable. You'll want the
most powerful one your budget can afford. If all else is equal, a wet-dry
vac has obvious advantages.

2. Consider a saw diaper:
