vacuum

I have a Festool CT22 that I use in my shop for woodworking. It works well in a fixed location but does not travel well lacking handles to aid in transport. I’m considering the Dustless Technologies series for my location work. Their design looks pretty good for portability, ease of use and meeting the EPA requirements.Haven’t made any purchases yet.

i just use the Ridgid Professional 14 gallon Vac with a Hepa type filter. Thats all you really need on that end, although disposal is an other story.

Here is the EPA link on these new standards.
http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/renovation.htm#homeowners
According to information there it is as follows for anyone needing to know.

Information for Homeowners Working at Home

If you are a homeowner performing renovation, repair, or painting work in your own home, EPA’s RRP rule does not cover your project. However, you have the ultimate responsibility for the safety of your family or children in your care. If you are living in a pre-1978 home and planning to do painting or repairs, please read a copy of EPA’s Renovate Right: Important Lead Hazard Information for Families, Child Care Providers, and Schools (PDF) lead hazard information pamphlet (11 pp, 1.1MB). | en español (PDF) (11 pp, 2.4MB). You may also want to call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (5323) and ask for more information on how to work safely in a home with lead-based paint.

As a contractor, I have found that using a bag inside your shop vac helps tremendously. I have a “SHOP VAC” brand. This is most helpful in catching small particulate. (Drywall dust is a big culprit). This even stops it from reentering a room. These are use with the original filters (Paper element and foam filter cover).
Hope this helps.

I’m also wondering how many people use a mask while renovating. They can seem to get in the way when on your face sometimes. Does anyone have a recommendation for a breathing mask that filters well and feels comfortable at the same time.?
thanks

I use this in my shop. http://www.woodcraft.com/Family/2002089/Dust-Bee-Gone-Mask.aspx It is comfortable to wear, washable, and, most important, doesn’t fog up your glasses.

RRP requires a N100 mask in whatever form you prefer. In the class I took they said we needed a special vac that meets RRP standards with seals and filters to assure no dust re-enters work area. Also need tyvek coverals and latex or equivalent gloves. Lots of stuff to get and use and records to keep. Not sure it is worth the effort.
Beth I think that is what I am getting they have them at Acme tools and seem to be priced pretty good.

where would i be able to geth the attachments for my circular saw and other portable tools for vac

I would check with where you bought your vac. I have dustless technologies vac and have grinder attachment as well. I am not sure what else they make as far as attachments for tools. Possibly tool manufacturer would have as well. I will be looking to see what you find as I am interested as well.

I was Looking for the Cordless Vacuums so i found this discussion.I want some suggestions that which will be Best Cordless Vacuums in 2019?
