Off topic: What do you use for chip cleanup?

Post by frijoli »

I have a temporary situation where I need to vacuum up chips frequently but don't have space for a big round shop vac.

Have you use a wall mount shop vac? Thoughts?

I found an industrial wet or dry vac on Craigslist that works well. I don't think one of those wall hanger vacs has enough suction and you need a good diameter hose in my opinion.
