Does anyone know what size & model of standard shop vac will fit the fitting for this? Can't (don't want to) afford the Makita one. Thanks!

A cheap vac will do, but whatever you get you'll probably still need a rubber step-down adapter to the 1-1/2 ID you need for the planer. They're cheap, e.g. at Woodworkers Supply.

Go to Lowes and get a 3 step adapter for your vac and it will have one that attaches to your Makita.

I have several brands of vacuums including a shop vac and this attachment has fit all of them. Hope this helps.

I have no idea what exact vac you have. This attachment fits every one that is the standard home style vacuum cleaner of all sorts. If you have a pipe end with an OD of 1.25" it will fit.

Both are standard sizes for shop vacs. A "mini" or small shop vac will have a narrower hose. If you have a fairly standard sized one, like a 16 gallon capacity then you'll most likely have the larger 2 1/2 inch hose attached. Hope that helps.

Hey William. I have it on my Rigid Shop Vac and really like it. At the time I got it I also had an old Craftsman Vac that I no longer have. So I am not totally sure if I robbed a part from the Craftsman or if it fit without any other connectors. Either way it will be well worth the effort. Hope this helped.

Accessory kits are universally sized and hence fit any vac that uses 2.5" fittings and hoses. I have never owned a Rigid vac, but it appear to use 2-1/2" fittings and hoses. If so, this kit will work fine.

Personally, I won't use anything but a shop vac simply because of the amount of dust that will clog up most expensive filters. The shop vac filters are easily washed and can be reused several times, are inexpensive, and I've never had any damage done to my shop vac motor that I'm sure I'd have encountered had I used my other vacs. The shop vac I have I purchased at Menards for under $40 and I've worked the poor thing to what would have been death for a 'normal' vac. As long as you take care of it, and make sure to keep the filters cleaned when they need it, I suppose you could use any type you wanted, but...as I stated...shop vacs, in my opinion, are much better suited for the 'tough' jobs.

the 2 1/4 hose from a shop vac fits right into the slots perfect. for the 2.5 inch stuff i put about 4 wraps of thick duct tape around the dust deputy slot and the 2.5 hose fits just right over that . It all works under vacuum so it all stays in place very well

I have 2 different shop-vacs and they fit in both. I'm guessing they're universal.

Frankly, it took me a few trys (and maybe a couple of dirty words!) to figure this out. The larger attachment with the smaller end fits on the wand of my vac. I then take the clear rubber hose and put the end w/o the black adapter on the small end of that. Then any of the little tools will fit on the black adapter of the clear hose. I got this to vac my sewing machine out after a big project and really like it. I think it does a great job! (with and without dirty words!)

I just got my part the other day, and I hadn't tried it until you asked the question. Seconds ago, I tried it on the 1 1/4" hose attached to my 5-gallon Shop Vac and, YES, it fits perfectly. It is made for standard 1 1/4" vac hose.

I think a small shop vac hose should fit, like a Stinger vac or such. I am unsure if this lines up with the Festool vacuum system that the Festool track saw uses. I put a little duct tape on the end of the hose so it fit snug in the saw's hose hole.

I have a standard shop vac and have a hose attachment that has a stepped graduated nozzle. It fits perfectly. Search for "Shop-Vac 906-87-00 universal tool adapter."

It's about 6 maybe 6 1/2 inches in diameter. Don't know about the shop vac. I never owned one.

Nothing that I can see. I have the 314w. Makita had a deal when I bought mine and I received a cordless vac for free. Hope this helps.

Carol, I can't answer your question. It fits my particular Shop Vac beautifully, but it came with the vac and I ordered extra for that model. Why don't you check with the manufacturer to be sure.

I'm not home to look at the vac but I did use one in the pack for my 1 gal shop vac and it was the exact same size. Used another in the pack on my larger vac. They were the same.
