I know the ridgid vac by the mills needs a new filter.  Do any others need a filter?  If Home Depot carries them I can grab them for the space.

I would guess the large yellow one (Dewalt?) in the metal shop needs one as well.  The Tormach has a dedicated vacuum, Larry probably would know if a filter is due.
Also, once again the metal shop's crevice tool for the large vacuum is MIA, so maybe grab one.  I get them for the metal shop occasionally, and engrave "MMS Metal Shop" on them, but tend to drift away somewhere (why I keep a personal one with my tools so I know I have it when I need it to clean things like T-Slots in mills).

I will need to know what brand and model for the "yellow one"  The big ridgid vacs take a common filter, and the smaller ridgid takes a smaller fairly common one.

Yup, the vac by the Tormach needs a filter.

I was remember wrong, it is a rigid vac, and probably the one you had in mind (Model WD12450/Filter VF4000, "Bill**2 written on it).
So never mind, you had it covered looks like.  We use Dewalt at work probably why I was thinking that.
And it does lack a crevice tool.  Where those go is beyond me.
