Vacuum Motors

[craftwerksrc]

By any chance do you have the model of that B&D handheld vac that you used? I am currently working on a DIY project and bought a Dewalt 18v DC515 vac and looking to get something cordless with more suction.

Thanks in advance!

I just checked our 2010 Bill of Materials and didn't have the part number recorded, just "Black & Decker Dustbuster Vacuum Cleaner" bought at Walmart for $35.96 each in 2010.

I'll check to see if we have any of the housings left at our build location so that I can get the model number, but I think we may have thrown them all out some time last year.

In order to get more suction, you can put two vacuums in series to increase the pressure differential (kind of like putting two batteries in series to increase voltage).

Thanks for checking into that... I am looking @ some of the B&D cordless options online right now.

I am also trying to spec out the Dewalt motor in the DC515 I already bought to see If I can't possibly upgrade that.
