Hi all, I have a question about dust collection.
I have a makita ls1013 miter saw, and a fein turbo II vacuum, with the standard hose. This combination works OK as far as dust collection- I like that when I have the saw plugged into the vacuum, with the vacuum set to "auto", turning on the light on the saw will switch on the vac. It doesn't, however, get as much of the dust as I would like. The fein is also a lot quieter than other vacs that I have tried.
My question is this- if I use a larger hose, and step down right at the saw, will I see better results?
Thanks,
