Ridgid Table Saw R4517 to 18V Ridgid Cordless Vac WD0319

thingiverse

Hi, this is my first ever creation + upload... so please go easy on me! I had a specific problem to solve: Ridgid 15A Compact Table saw (R4517) + corded Ridgid vacuum for dust collection on the same electrical circuit. = Tripped circuit a plenty! Unfortunately my work area doesn't have a separate circuit. So in the past I needed to use a long extension cord to run the vacuum. But it was always a huge pain to have to unravel and repack the extension cord before and after every use. I wanted a more permanent and flexible solution. Queue in the Ridgid 18v Cordless vacuum. model:WD0319 Since I already have several 18V Ridgid power tools and have a few 18V batteries, a cordless vacuum in the same battery platform made perfect sense. I however needed to use a different adapter to mate the vacuum hose (1 3/4") to the table saw (2 1/2"). And so I made this adapter in Sketch up and printed with Simplify3D. The dimensions are exact and therefore may need some manipulation (scaling and or sanding), in order to fit the hose end properly as I noticed the outside of the hose end is ever so slightly tapered.
