I'm looking to buy a new compressor. While in the middle of a project, mine caught fire (literally) and burnt up.

Yeah....i'd probably jump off the bridge.......................does it help t...

Well, call it what you want, but mine's quite rigged. I went to Lowes, bought a 2 1/2" hose which should fit your Shopvac (female adaptor on the actual vaccum should be 2 1/2" but then the hose necks down to 1 1/4") and ran it over to the dust port. It does not fit "snug" so...
