My 25+ year old shop vac had the cheap plastic dolly go bye-bye so I cut a circle and square of particle board and glued them together. Casters on the bottom of the square and two HD magnets set flush with the top of the circle which fits inside the welded seam on the canister. Of course this won't help the newer all plastic units but it does the job on my antique. Gerry :-)} London, Canada

That would explain the Operations section of the U.S. Army manual of the Burke #4 horizontal mill:
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
" The operation of the Burke #4 Milling Machine is so simple that no specific instructions are required "
The machine was simple and the guys that were expected to operate it were expected not to be as simple as the machine.
I was referring to the large number of explosives "manuals" that are reprinted an distributed widely about the web.
