A hose that almost fits can turn a simple tool connection into a frustrating search. Workshop Dust Guide focuses on those practical questions: hose sizes, adapters, tool ports, shop vacuum connections, and the basics of dust extraction.
What this site covers
Our focus is workshop dust collection, especially the connections between tools and collection equipment. The aim is to make specifications easier to understand and help readers identify what to check before choosing a fitting or changing a setup.
How to use the guides
Start with the exact model of your tool or vacuum. Compare the guide with the current manual and the specifications for the parts you plan to use. Similar-looking connections may differ, and compatibility should be confirmed for the particular equipment.
A clear distinction between guidance and testing
An explanation based on documentation is not a hands-on test. Product coverage should make that distinction clear. We do not claim workshop experience, measurements, or product testing that we have not carried out.
Safety comes first
This site provides general information. It does not certify a dust collection system or replace equipment instructions, workplace requirements, or advice from a qualified professional. Follow the guidance supplied with your tools and collection equipment.
