SnapOn blast cabinet

[Lynn]

Probably a stupid question. I am assuming that there is a lot of dust flying out the exhaust fan port when I am blasting.
Any reason I can't hook a shop vac to it? It already creates enough suction on the cabinet to "inflate" the gloves when turned on. Will the additional suction cause any problems?

I also have a "Dust Deputy" (yeah, stupid name, but I understand a good product) that I have not hooked up yet. It attaches to a bucket (5 gallon, 20 gallon, 55 gallon... doesn't matter) and goes between the tool and the shop vac. Supposedly about 99% of the dust hits the bottom of the bucket and stays there, saving filters on the shop vac.

Any reason NOT to attach the DD and my shop vac?

Also, in the event I decide to get a different gun (thinking foot operated... my hand gets tired depressing the trigger) what would you recommend? I know some of you guys have big cabinets that do a LOT of duty virtually every day. What lasts and works well?

Lastly, as mentioned in my last post, I need a good 1/2 inch id siphon hose. Any reason to NOT just use clear pvc tubing? I have some laying around.
