re: Dust collection connections

Checkout the Rockler Flex Port Click Connect fittings.  I think that they are all on sale right now.  Just do not buy the kit that has the super flexible "expandable" hose.  It is a total pain because the suction from the vac causes it to try to totally collapse the hose to its 3' minimum length so that it is constantly pulling you towards the vac or the vac towards you. (Unless you want to buy mine, then definitely get that one, LOL)  If you want a dedicated hose kit, select the fix length one.  But the cheapest approach may be to get the shop vac hose adapter and just the tool adapter that you need.  (That is, unless you want to buy my flexible hose kit,  which I highly recommend. 😉.)  You will have to research which of the connectors you need for the tools you have but if you have a Rockler near you, the sales staff can probably tell you which one you need for those tools.   You may be able to simply call the nearest one and ask them on the phone? 

BTW, I have a Makita ROS and it requires the 3/4" tool adapter.
