UncleSteve,

What we used to do was to drill a couple of 1/4 holes into the top part of the hose of the vacuum this allowed for some cooling air and did not reduce the suction.

I can try that.... the noise won't lessen but at least it will make the shopvac last longer...

I know that the old Electrolux tank vacuums had holes in the metal end of the hose with a clip that went around most of it. By turning the clip, it uncovered different amounts of holes to lessen the suction...

Now if I could find an old hose..... <G>
