<p>OK. Finally got a pic of my setup. I hope this helps.</p>

<p>That small shop vac is <strong>WAY</strong> more vac than you really need for the K5 port. I can feel the pull when I set the piece in place to be drilled.</p>

<p>BTW---if you have/find an adapter, that may be a little loose, </p>
<p>you can simply make a fix by adding a wrap or two of masking tape, (blue or green), around the male end, to make a tigher fight.</p>
<p>You want to the fit to be "snug"---just so it doesn't vibrate loose, or easily come off.</p>
<p>Use a slight twisting motion to tighten/loosen.</p>
