EXACTLY MY EXPERIENCE!!! I've decided to just go with the Rigid wd1450 from home depot. It's right at $100 bucks. It has excellent reviews & a lifetime warranty so when this one quits I'll see if they will stand behind it.

Thank you guys so much for the input. I will look into those 2 brands and see if they fit us. Again, Thank You!

We use the shop vac daily in the shop. Yes it is used and abused. We do always keep the filter clean though. They never last. I can't count the number of shop vacs I have bought over the past 10 years. Are there any recommendations on a commercial shop vac that will actually last without...

Thank you so much I did not realize this. Well what about this setup then? And after the pressure regulator feed the rest of the shop?

As previously mention the can is so old and decrepit I can't reuse it when it is disassembled. I have decided to use this setup since the new filter should not be located directly against the tank. Is this setup ok if I just add a dryer where their separator is? I probably won't add a...

Yes it has a drain petcock at the bottom. I would still like to install a new "can" right at the compressor like this one has. Any clue if it would be a filter or a dryer? I'm assuming its a dryer since it has a drain petcock at the bottom but not sure if I'm correct? What would be a good new...

completely agree with your logic! The problem is the can that is right next to the compressor is so old I know its going to crumble for lack of better words when I install the new compressor

Ok I have read and read this super complex filtration and dryer designs. I have a 5 bay shop. 3bays then an office in center then another 2 bays. Let me be the 1st to tell you I know nothing about filtering or drying. I see all of these guys putting the filter next to or as close to the hose...

Correct

I see several threads discussing led shop lights but none that I see discuss the led industrial tape. My shop has 5 bays and 13' ceilings. I have decided to only go with the external drive bulbs or the strip tape. I really can't find anywhere on the internet any feedback from anyone using the...

Hmmm ok I'll stop by there this evening and check it out

I'm not familiar with any single gang covers that are flush? All the ones I have seen have the flange on the perimeter making it not completely flush and hard to mount a light over.

I posted this in the general section since it's an aesthetics issue and not exactly an electrical one. I'm looking for ideas of what to do. I purchased some t5 lights that are only about 2" wide. When I go to put them over the single gang box where the wire comes out of the lights aren't wide...

that's a great idea! better than my pvc conduit idea as it would be easier to mud around and have a very crisp clean look. Anyone else have any suggestions? the more the merrier!

I have a panel I am mounting in a basement garage with concrete walls. The ceiling is going to be sheetrocked and I am kicking around ideas for the cleanest look for the house wires going up into the ceiling from the panel. The only thing I can think of is to house all the wires in a 2 or 3 inch...
