The vacuum is to be used to clean my shop. The Grizzly unit only lifts 10", the vac will lift 11 times that.
they seem to work for every other wood worker in the world... yer sucking dust...who cares how high it will lift water!
just seems like a waste to me...

That is a pricey vacuum I blow a shop vac every couple years but I couldn't justify that there thing sucking up piles of grain will really work on a vacuum

Wood dust is very light and fluffy, doesn't weigh much, doesn't stick to things. Rocks, sand, metal shavings compacted and bound to each other need a strong vac to pull them off the floor. A nice gentle breeze won't scrub the dirt, dust and other particles from the walls. I need a vac, not a dust collector. I am not a wood worker. I will be doing machine work and welding in my shop.

Doing that I'd use a cyclone seperator so grain in one drum, vac in the other.

wheres the need for such fine filtration for machining work?
