For years, I used a standard shop-vac that I bought at a big box hardware store for my shop work and general vacuuming needs in the garage and for projects. You may have seen my dust-separator cart video that I made for my Ridgid model. If not, here is the link: • Dust Cyclone Separator...
For years, I wondered about upgrading my vacuum game to a professional dust "extractor" and boy am I glad I did! This is one of those tools, (like a track saw) that is just a game changer. After having it for a few months, I can honestly say that I should have bought this thing a long time ago. I love everything about it. My model is the Makita 12 Gallon Xtract Vac Wet/Dry Dust Extractor/Vacuum, number VC4710. This is my unboxing and review. Enjoy! Links below.. ↓↓↓↓

Thanks for watching my DIY Battery Charging Station Video!
I see you don't have a large amount of subscribers but 14k isn't bad at all, in fact I'd say it's pretty good. I like the content and Im deciding to subscribe and I hope to see your channel grow. Keep it up man
Hi Phillip. Thanks so much! Welcome aboard. Really appreciate your kind words.
Make a hollow saw dust extraction rake out of 5 ply plywood. Cut the corner of the bag one inch or two make a simple block clamp screw together to close it up now you have an empty import or slit the whole bag and sew a zipper in
That is a cool idea! Thanks for sharing.
Newcastle brown ale badge!!! I'm from the NE of England where the famous ale is brewed. Really surprised to see the badge on the wall👍
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Love Newcastle.
I just got a Shop Vac brand 5 gallon and it came with one of those bags also. Works good!
Nice!
How has vac held up of the past 4 months?
Fantastic! I use it all the time.
There's a market for these things on construction sites to comply with OSHA requirements related to silica dust from stone/masonry cutting, and gypsum dusts from cutting/sanding drywall, but that's it. If you have a shop you are 100 times better off getting a harbor freight, jet, grizzly, etc. dust collector and upgrading to a pleated filter. Shop vacs are valuable because they are cheep and have higher suction. These portable dust extractors cost dust collection system prices but are still cheap plastic that'll break in a few years. The warranty on that thing is 3 years, they'll stop making parts for it in 5-10, and if it breaks you won't be welding it or buying a 3rd party fan, filter, etc.
Interesting thoughts. Thanks for taking time to share.
How did it compare to the Ridgid? Does it still use the cyclone? How well does it work at the Mitre saw?
I think it performs a lot better, being a professional dust extractor and not a shop vac. No I don’t use a dust separator as I use cloth bags inside this one. Works very well attached to my miter saw and track saw. I never run my saws without it
Do you use this Makita with your table saw and/or Planer? How does it perform with those machines?
Yes! It’s great as long as I have the right hose attachment.
great vid! how is it going with this now?
Thank you! Still works great and use it all the time.
Can other saws and tools etc fit to the hose on this?
Yep. With certain adaptors.
I bought the same used on Craigslist and mine thumps every 15 seconds. Kind of annoying and also no matter what speed I put it on it goes to full speed right before it thumps. I assume that the thumping is its cleaning cycle but is that normal?
That’s awesome you found it used! Yes. Totally normal. That’s the automatic filter cleaning. Mine does the same thing!
Why don’t you keep a cyclone/bucket hooked up to your new one like you did with your previous ridgid? You’ll probably only have to empty your bag once a year.
Great question. This vacuum is a huge upgrade from the ridgid. Since I decided to invest in a pro grade vac and the fleece bag system, I am okay disposing the bags a few times a year, therefore I don't need the "dust separator" system on this one.
Any thoughts as to why it was discontinued?
I do not. I find it strange because I love this thing. Maybe they went with a more compact design?
is there a way to get HEPA filtration set up with this vac?
I think so! However I’m not sure if Makita is still developing this particular model or components for it.
Great video review! I've been searching for this Makita Vacuum online since your video was released, I cannot find it anywhere.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful. Sorry to hear its gone MIA. I think due to Covid a lot of manufacturers have struggled to keep up. I found it on Acme Tools site, but it is paired with an angle grinder. Weird. Here is the link: www.acmetools.com/shop/tools/makita-vc4710x1-xtract-vacuum-angle-grinder-kit
Any Idea were I can buy that model
Man it looks to be discontinued which is a bummer. I did a quick search and found this site that might have one. www.usagranitetools.com/shop/makita-tools/accessories/dust-management-vacuums-accessories/tool-attachments-dust/tool-attachments-dust-vacuums/vacuum/makita-12-gallon-xtract-vac-wetdry-dust-extractorvacuum-vc4710/
There are apps for your phone that measure decibels, if you're interested. Plus I tried to find this on line and used your link but currently shows "out of stock"using that link, but I'll save the link thanks. Good review. You should get Makita to sponsor your channel.
Thanks for sharing and sorry to hear it’s out of stock.
Hi, can it use for an oil heater (soot) cleaning job? thanks
Yes I believe you could!
Put the vacuum in a soundproof closet and use hard tubing around the shop send use a connector hose where you need it. Noises from vacuums are stupid
They are stupid. Lol
Your video camera is upping the level of your audio. If you can set your audio levels manually you might be able to tell the difference.
Thank you for that feedback!
Children have normal hearing. It clearly shows how much earing damage the father has. I suggest buying Central Vacuum and place it far away from the garage with pvc hook up. You can delay hearing aids in the future.
The whole point of this video was to explain how QUIET this vacuum is.
It would've been cool to show the proof of the sound difference by measuring the decibels instead of everyone just taking your word for it... Or not
I totally agree! I just didn’t have one on hand and didn’t want to buy one. I should at least point to the manufacture specs but forgot to add it! Thanks for the comment.
@@diywithandrew you did an amazing job man. I'm serious keep it up. You have the potential to have a really amazing channel. And that's after seeing this 1 video
The track saw is a copy of festool’s saw. Hose connector and all.
Sure okay. I don’t prefer festool though.
@@diywithandrew sure but that’s why the hose connector doesn’t fit the makita hose.
@@GeraintDafis ok great 👍
Big best
Um thanks?!
I bought the Makita battery powered tracks system and cordless router and Im actually surprised at how under engineered they are for actually carpentry. The tolerances are a joke. Theres a reason why green and white cost so much. Based on my disappointment and inaccurate design ill skip on this!
Sorry to hear about that experience. I own the Makita battery track saw, string trimmer and mower and have had no issues at all. I have no experience with their battery router. In fact, my router is Bosch and it is corded. I wish you the best in your carpentry work and hope you find the right tools!
5 bags are $60
Thanks for the comment and sharing the cost!
Who would ever expect a Makita track saw user to want a Makita vac to fit on their saw! Fail Makita!
I know right?! Crazy oversight if you ask me.
This is why people flock to Festool. Things just work. Oh, and they fit under Paulk benches :-)
I’ll take needing to be creative with my dust collection hose vs paying 8x the price. :)
I'd say I'm a Makita guy but the engineers at Makita are bone heads when it comes to vacuum hoses.
Totally agree!
Just go ahead and pick up a festool hose from Rokler, you'll be amazed
