Does anyone know what size &amp; model of standard shop vac will fit the fitting for this? Can't (don't want to) afford the Makita one. Thanks!

Go to Lowes and get a 3 step adapter for your vac and it will have one that attaches to your Makita.

Shop Vac also has a web site, and many stores that sell them have some parts, I bought mine at a Ace Hardware . They sold the filter but got a better price at Amazon. This is all for the most part are made in the US and I have found parts for an old one in a True Value in Mexico. Many of the parts in todays fit older models as well.

No it won't fit but you might take a look at this one: http://www.amazon.com/Shop-Vac-901-02-Shop-vac-Filter/dp/B00018ALGY/ref=pd_sim_hi_8

The exhaust port is 22mm OD. I found the Fein 921072K13 Step Adaptor is a perfect fit to the Makita, and the Bosch VAC005 5-Meter Vacuum Hose 35mm fits perfectly to the Fein and to my Shop Vac. This was a perfect solution with no modifications required to anything. The Bosch hose has a swivel at the tool end and is small and flexible enough to work perfectly with the Makita RO sander.

Personally, I won't use anything but a shop vac simply because of the amount of dust that will clog up most expensive filters. The shop vac filters are easily washed and can be reused several times, are inexpensive, and I've never had any damage done to my shop vac motor that I'm sure I'd have encountered had I used my other vacs. The shop vac I have I purchased at Menards for under $40 and I've worked the poor thing to what would have been death for a 'normal' vac. As long as you take care of it, and make sure to keep the filters cleaned when they need it, I suppose you could use any type you wanted, but...as I stated...shop vacs, in my opinion, are much better suited for the 'tough' jobs.

Mine arrived today (1/5/16). Both ports on mine are 1-7/8" O.D. at opening and enlarge to about 2-1/8". My 2-1/4" Shop-Vac hose fits snugly over port but I will need to find the correct adapter to attach my 2-1/2" draw hose. The 2-1/2 in to 2-1/4 in Conversion Portby Rockler (sold here on Amazon) will not fit without modifications.

Hi Connie, I checked out shopvac.com and they list filter #9030400 for "Shop Vac 7020" and it is quite apparent that Amazon has it. Is this "the filter you need", you'll have to be the judge of that. You could also check out the specs (height, width, diameter) and compare with your old one, if you still have it. I really hope this helps. Kind Regards, Joe

The mini vacuum is extremely small, but not sure if it will fit a shop vacuum. I have not currently attempted to attach to a shop vac.

This fits both the Shop Vacs I've had for years but I don't know about your model.

I use a Shop Vac to provide the suction. On both the inlet side and the suction side, I use a 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" rubber coupling with appropriate hose clamps. Works just fine.

I've ordered this product and now need a short hose to connect to my manual vaccum. I think it needs to be "male." I can't seem to find one. Any suggestions?

I also use my Rigid shop vac (WD1450) with this sander and have had no issues. I did notice that the vac tends to get rather hot after extended use since it isn't able to pull its normal airflow. It hasn't been a problem, just something to note. Getting the right sized hookup can be tricky. Although I found a combination of the smaller hose available in Rigid's auto detailing kit (Rigid VT2534) and a soft rubber step adapter (Fein 921072K13) worked wonderfully. You can probably get a similar hose without the full kit but I already had the detailing kit sitting around.

I used both the shop vac and house hold vac. The hose they send you does not fit well and is very hard to put together. I would not waste your money on it. I could have done the same thing this did using the hand tools from my regular vacuum cleaner.

I use a small shop vac with fittings that reduce down to 3/8 of an in. Just suck it out. Bought the reducer at lowes and comes in handy for many other uses too.

My husband who owned a vacuum cleaner shop said it depends on the size of your hose. He said most shop vaccuums have three inch hoses and that would not work with this brush unless you got a reducer to make it fit. Hope this helps

Yes it is compatible with all shop vac brands. The hose in this kit is very cheaply made it tore up on me after the first time I used it. I had to go to lowes and buy the actual shop vac brand hose and spend another $25. The atachments are the only thing that are worth the money.
