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.

For a shop vac, I use a Shop Vac brand, one of the larger models. Quiet for
a vac and works for me. The best is Fein, but very expensive.

For the dust collector, yes you can put a cyclone in line with the inlet.

You can get more sophisticated and spend a lot of money for industrial grade
equipment that can be well over $1500.
