There is a doohickee for sanding sheet rock at the local big box
hardware shop. Supposed to be a dustless thing. Uses a 5 gallon
bucket and smaller diameter vacuum cleaner hose to a perforated handle
you clamp the sanding screen on. Hook the one hose to the sander
block, the other hose goes to your vacuum. Many adapters for if you
use large shop vac or house vac.
ANYWAY, the shop vac side has a coupling with an adjustable neck
throttle. Open it more to reduce the amount of suck, shut down for
more suck. Makes a hellacious noise. It does keep the hoses and
bucket from collapsing in. Maybe you need to make a coupling with a
hole drilled in large enough to back down the vacuum.

Not
in a nice way. The plastic buckets tended to buckle and collapse, which
also caused the lid to bend, warp and split. The contorted bucket
tended
to splash the waste oil back up towards the vacuum nozzle, resulting in
a bunch of the oil being sucked into the shop vac. I went through three
buckets in the process of changing my oil, as well as making a complete
mess.
So, any advice on how to keep the buckets from collapsing? I am
thinking
about putting one bucket inside the other for added structural
strength.
A source for more durable buckets would also be welcomed.
