rtropp Posted January 19, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2014 I am reorganizing my work room to try and free up some space. I would like to keep my shop vac below a shelf under my workbench. It will not fit upright but can fit if I position it on its side. I want to see if anyone thinks that will damage the shop vac or diminish its effectiveness.

Q A's Revenge Posted January 19, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 19, 2014 Can't think why it shouldn't work, what model shop vac is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jud Posted January 20, 2014 Share #4 Posted January 20, 2014 Probably be easier on the motor bearings being on it's side. Are you going to add a hose on the exhaust side so you can vent it outside? I do that with the one I use it to clean up the soot and ash from the pellet stove. jud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtropp Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted January 20, 2014 I am not planning on outside venting. I just want to capture dust from sanding. By placing it on its side I can fit it under my worktable and run the house behind it to attached to tools as I use them. Richard.
