What is best to hook up to the BT3100 dust port?
I realize that a real dust collector can move a lot more air than a shop vac, but hooking up to the small dust port on the BT3100 (2.5 inch), it seems that a shop vac would be better since most of them can pull a much higher vacuum on a such a small diameter. In other words, a shop vac can pull a lot more air through a 2.5 inch port than a real dust collector, because they can pull a higher vacuum. This would be reversed on a much larger port such as a 4 - 6 inch port - a shop vac just can't move that much air through a larger port.
Any comments?
