I have modified several tools so they have DC fittings that fit a 1 1/2" hose. I adapted my Craftsman shop vac to suck the dust. Worked great for a week - then my shop vac died! But I'd like to stall buying a replacement - it's so noisy but quiet vacs cost so much. Which makes me ask...
I have a typical 2 HP Jet DC sitting in my shed - I haven't wired a 220V outlet yet. I had planned on using this just for the router table, planer, and maybe my Ryobi BT3000 table saw. But it would sure be convenient to hook the 1 1/2" hose into the DC...
Can I use it with reducers to suck on my hand tools (circular saw, hand-held router, belt sander, and RO sander?
Or will I toast the DC motor or some other terrible event if I try?
Would it help if I left another blast-gate open?
FYI - I use the EurekaZone saw table. The beam guides my circular saw and one of my routers (it's great for long dados). The hose collects 100% of sawdust from a dado and about 90% from the saw.
