A:  You can connect any tool with a dust bag to your collection system. As for the outlet size this one is smaller than larger woodworking tools. It would be simple to make a conversion section for size compatibility. I recommend using either PVC fittings or components found in the shopvac bins at HomeDepot. Either of these will work to upsize the fitting to meet your size requirements.
