kmmcrafts Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Well count me in on the MetroVac owner now.. I've been watching these on eBay ever since Ray bought his.. I almost took the plunge when Ray first posted the link to the one he got.. but I waited to see what he thought of it.. well the price kept inching upwards.. and got up to $90.. sorry I'm not paying that then having to fiddle around with making a setup to work.. when I could just buy one from Ray all ready to go with all that I'd need for it.. Anyway I found one this morning new in the box for $35 so I snagged it up... My question is.. I see two different looking ones.. one looks like it has a cone on the end of it.. and I'm wondering if this is some sort of muffler.. kinda like Ray made for his.. I'll post images of both so you can see where one is flat at the end and the other has a cone shaped end to it.. suppose that's a muffler.. Seyco shows the one used is a cone shape.. and claims it to be 67db sound level.. Just wondering if the reason some mentioned them being a little louder than expected maybe it's this cone shape??

It may just be so you can use it as a blower also. But it might quiet it too. Win/win. kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the one I got is the flat looking back one.. .. Not a big deal I could mount it upstairs of my shop and run the hose through the floor / wall down to my saw.. r make a muffler like you did.. I might have to re-look up your post to see some picture as to how you did it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got sidetracked with our "new to us" motorhome. Soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
