Sounds a bit like a wall-mounted shop vac? Got any links to what you are looking at?

Yeah - 2 1/2" won't generate the airflow and velocity that you need.

I REALLY hate to admit it, but Chris is right:D.

Is this the system you are referring to: Craftsman Wall Mount Dust Collector (http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00922314000P?vName=Tools&cName=Bench+Power+Tools&sName=Dust+Collection+Systems+%26+Attachments)?
