Shopmate Vaccum Part

Post by joekwi »

I am looking for the plastic cage that sits under the the ShopMate motor vaccum and holds the ball and filter in place. Shopsmith does not carry this. See the picture.

Apparently they were made for Shopsmith by Shop-Vac if that is a help.

Thanks Ron - appreciate the input. In the end - I took some hardwood dowels and made a cage out of wood. Since it only holds the ball and foam filter cover this worked quite nicely! Thanks again. Joe
