Sure, the plastic is nice, and they're well-constructed, but aren't they a bit small? Considering the larger ones are $200+, I'd think it would be much more cost-effective to buy a few boards of wood, nail 'em together, slap on a PVC pipe, drill some holes, and plug in the good 'ol shop vac.

right, probably, but considering you could buy the larger one, and build some NOACp's you could quickly crank those out and make a nice tidy sum (and well face it some of us are you know too lazy to build one, I'll probably build one but I thought someone here would find this useful)

This is overpriced.
This is generously priced.

Sure, just make them bigger in size than these.

You see the only reason I would buy one of these is because I don't own a shop vac (yes I know... I am deprived!) So I figure I might get one. Or just get a shop vac

with some looking you can build a decent sized vac table for almost nothing (plus the cost of a shop vac if you dont have one) i think i spent a grand total of like 3$ on mine (for a cheap pvc reducer coupling from menards for 63 cents) just got some scrap plywood and other boards lying around and an old cookie sheet i found in our barn and drilled a gross of holes in it (close to it anyway lol) and bought some foam strips from wallmart for the sealing surface

You don't need a shop vac, just any decent vacuum should do.
