I also asked the question as I was checking to see if the free shipping from Rockler might also apply to Canada. Not.
Dian,
I use a quick DC disconnect that fits fairly snug. Even with a wire tucked inside for a ground. The Dust Devil has a lot of vacuum leakage around the open ends that I plugged with custom made wooden blocks. Unless you have done something similar, it will leak a lot more than the crimped edges on the RingNeckBlues.

LOL, the DD has a lot of duct tape and window seal foam! But, since the DC adapter is the only thing that comes off, the seal is pretty good.
Window foam just doesn't work on the other, and taping is a pain when you want to be able to shift to another tool fairly frequently. The DC adapter leaves about 1.5 inches of the crimping exposed. Perhaps I can find one that is rubberized, like plumbing fittings.
Thanks for the quick response!
Dian,
I really think the leakage is minimal. However, you could use a pair of tin snips to trim off a little of the crimping. Then, put 2 or 3 cuts an inch or so past the crimping for adjustment. You could also use a short section of 4" hose and just put a strip of duct tape around the joint and a quick disconnect on the other end.
Maybe you are a candidate for the the new adapter. It is in two pieces and just snaps together so the inner section can be removed easily. I'll post more when its installed and tested.

In the early years 2007 I made a collector from copper circuit board material. I cut a slot in the bottom to rest over the knife edge of the frame and sealed it with weather seal. Over the years the effectiveness of the dust collection was cut by leaks in the slot I cut in the bottom to fit over the knife edge. I bought a RingNeck Collector and in my opinion I got a 75% improvement from my slotted version. Thumbs up for the RingNeck Version.

I got an email from Carvewright for the sale of the new dust collector. I have the Ring Neck Blues system on my machine which does a nice job. I like the new idea where it comes apart but would like to know how that is going to hold up over time. Keep us posted how this works out.

I've yet to install my RNB DC. Does anyone have any idea if the new hood would accommodate the RNB? I am loathe to cut my brandy new hood. Thanks, -Jim
