<p>Yes, I do. It is ridiculously short. I have no idea what connector to use with it, I was able to half-ass something together but I'm looking for a better solution. Way too flimsy and poorly thought out.</p>

<p>I'm having the same problem with the K5. I do have a small shop vac that fits, but I'm trying to get my dust collection system to fit. I need a 1 1/4" male to 1 1/2" male adapter. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>Good day, I just bought the K5 master system and the dust collection port works great. I have my ridgid shop vac hooked up and it leaves no shavings from the K5. I see some people must be having issues or this post would not exist, so I thought I could post a photo of the connector I use. I purchase the part at my local Home Depot, but I know that Lee Valley does carry the nozzle for the dust port in Canada for $3. My hose though is 2 1/2" that this fitting is intended for.

I purchase the part at my local Home Depot, but I know that Lee Valley does carry the nozzle for the dust port in Canada for $3. My hose though is 2 1/2" that this fitting is intended for. In the hose extension kit I purchased years ago, it had the "orange" fitting that allows you to connected it too the vac hose and the black adapter would attach to this male (orange) to female (black) adapter. <a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1582420281?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1582420281?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1582424635?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1582424635?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p> I use this.

<p>I am using a Sears canister vac at my basement workbench/Kreg station. I removed the extension from the nozzle and have a “gas pump” like handle that presses perfectly into the adapter. The handle gives me really good control of the jig when moving longer boards. Having said that, the Central vac unit in my garage mates to absolutely none of my power tools. ABS pipe and duct tape.</p>

<p>My DC setup for the K5. Like I mentioned before the smaller shop vac gets everything out on every hole every time. There's not enough vacuum to make moving the piece hard yet it does a fantastic job.</p>

<p>I started a big kitchen cabinet project and all joinery is made with kreg screws. I own the K5 and did try (struggle) to use the dust collection.In my opinion the attachment is poorly designed, too short and detaches easily at the slightest hose vibration or movement. There are 2 very small tabs on each side that holds the shroud in place on a groove but can't keep up with the vacuum hose no Mather the way you help hold the hose steady.</p>
