Has anybody paired this vac to the Makita SP6000J1 track saw?

I used this vac on palm sanders, belt sanders and planners it is a great vac I can't see why it would not work on the track saw. They do have a lot of different ends for it. I like the universal ones.

Never have tried it.....the makita blade lasted a long time...I abused it and it kept on going...100s of cuts...

I use my Pole Saw attachment with my Ryobi trimmer (with a standard EZlink coupling system).

DeWALT makes a "universal connector" to connect a shop vac hose, but it's hard to find. I simply taped a 1 1/2 shop vac hose to the shroud using heavy-duty duct tape. It worked fine, and was hanging on tight after I ground 580 sq ft of concrete. Probably would have stayed connected forever if I hadn't cut it off when I was done. I wouldn't bother with the special DeWALT connector, since its so hard to get and costs another $20 or so. Next time I have to use the dust shroud with a vacuum, I will just use some more duct tape!

HI, Festool has engineered all of their tools to accept one size hose (the hose goes over the dustport on small tools and inside the dustport on the larger tools). I checked and the dust port on the Makita is much smaller. Dennis Big Tool Store

Everything I've read says you can join the 2 tracks, but I only have one myself. I have the Makita track, but use the DeWalt clamps and they work great together. I believe you can use the other joining devices to join any of the tracks. I would rate the quality of the cut as outstanding. I have cut 3/4" ply, lots of Corian, and metal-skinned OSB panels (screen doors), and in every instance the cut is better than I would expect- no splintering, ready to use finished edges. I always lusted after a panel saw, but no more- the versatility and portability can't be beat.

Unknown, I sent mine back because the standard Makita 18vdc batteries I have would not fit on the saw.

Hello, sorry for the late response, but yes, this toolbox notes that it is compatible with all Vac-U-Lock attachments.

My understanding is that Makita and Festool track interchange. I have a Makita track and join the two pieces together with the Festool adapter. I don't know about the DeWalt track. I use the DeWalt clamps to hold my track in pleace. Hope this is of some help.

Hi Leon, Yes I do. The attachments that come with the vac are a little big for small area but Amazon has a set of micro attachments that has an adaptor that works very well with the Metro Vac

My experience with attachments for any tool, they almost never connect 100% correctly or not at all. My advice, spend the money and take the time to purchase the attachment designed for the tool. In the long run you will get longer life and spend less money. Cheers

It's only an issue if you want the autostart feature. Otherwise plug the tool into a separate outlet. You will have the same problem with other vacuums that offer the autostart feature. It's amazing to me a sound level of only 59 dBA is produced from a vacuum drawing as much amps as the Makita.

Yes. You can buy a separate attachment for around $10. Looks like a funnel with different diameters. Insert one end into the sander and the other into your shop vac.

To answer the question asked: yes. most likely if the equipment has a 1-1/4" hose connection. My miter saw has such a connection on the power head. Will it act like a large shop-vac/dust-collection-system? No. It has pretty good suction for its size but it is no where near a full sized shop-vac in power.

Honestly I haven't tested this spec. However, since the saw is designed/meant to be used in the track, I would assume that is on the track.

I'm using this with the 12" Dewalt Sliding Mitre Saw. As long as the mounting points on your Makita are in the same plane with each other front to back it will work. The two mounting brackets are completely adjustable side to side.

It does on my vac. Not a Festool vac but why wouldn't a Festool vac be designed not to work with othe equipment. That would seriously limit its usability. Most of these auto start up vacs simply sense the current draw. The vac does not know what brand of equipment your using.
