I have a Ridgid shop vac that I am trying to hook up to the 20v saw. Does anybody know what Dewalt adapters are needed? All of Ridgid step down adapters don’t fit Dewalt and there is nothing referenced in the 20v product manual.
Duct tape is a universal adapter.
If you need to disconnect it frequently just stretch some pvc to size with a heat gun and duct tape that on. I refuse to buy overpriced shop vac adapters.
You can make one with some rubber hose and a heat gun

2016 and manufacturers still can’t find the universal bandwagon…

Have you looked at the universal small port kit from Rockler.

Lowes sells an adapter u can cut to size. This is an old chart from dewalt that u may be able to get an adapter from even though it’s not on there. Wish I could be more help.
I thought I remember seeing in one of the surveys someone did a nice side by side comparison on cordless miter saws and the one thing I remember that stood out was the difference in exhaust port size. All were 2 1/4 and one was 2 1/2. I thought that one was dewault. Still trying to find that.

I use the DWV9000 for my shop vac. I believes its 1 1/4″ adaptor.
