    What is wrong with plain concrete?

    I don't see anything wrong with plain concrete, I have plain concrete in my shop, Use a little floor sweeping compound, Oil-dry, & wash it out every once in a while.. I just cant justify the cost, I would much rather spend that money on tools or go-fast parts!

    I have been using my shop-vac for almost a year now to evacuate my sandblast cabinet & it is still going strong, I would think if it can stand up the blasting dust for close to a year concrete dust shouldn't be a problem
