Hey all,
I currently have a shopvac thats been working great on Rotex mode but in RO mode I think its creating too much suction to the material I work on and its creating little curly pigtails, soft or hard pushing on the sander, slow fast, steady hand, not steady hand, it just keeps happening. I think its something to do with the full power of the shopvac I'm guessing the force is sucking down so hard onto the top its forcing scratches. I have a 1horse power Harbor freight dust collector that is currently dedicated to my table saw in the middle of my shop and I'm wondering if a full on purely dedicated 1hp dust extractor would be fine to use on Rotex 125 in RO mode. I know it's not ideal (at least I feel this way as going from this large 4" hose down to this tiny thing means usually a lot less suction but I'm wondering if it'll do.
I do plan at some point to pick up a "Y" for the shopvac and limit suction down with ducttape and pinholes but I have a project to finish this weekend.
Thanks,
Jon
