npcnj8 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I have a Ridgid shop vac that I am trying to hook up to the 20v saw. Does anybody know what Dewalt adapters are needed? All of Ridgid step down adapters don't fit Dewalt and there is nothing referenced in the 20v product manual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Duct tape is a universal adapter. If you need to disconnect it frequently just stretch some pvc to size with a heat gun and duct tape that on. I refuse to buy overpriced shop vac adapters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chadlanthier Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Lowes sells an adapter u can cut to size. This is an old chart from dewalt that u may be able to get an adapter from even though it's not on there. Wish I could be more help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Glassey Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I thought I remember seeing in one of the surveys someone did a nice side by side comparison on cordless miter saws and the one thing I remember that stood out was the difference in exhaust port size. All were 2 1/4 and one was 2 1/2. I thought that one was dewault. Still trying to find that. John, Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
