Q:Can I use a dust bag instead of a vacuum for the dust. I would like to be total free to handle the saw any way I like and not worry about limitations with a vacuum attached to it. And if so. What size nozzle dust bag should I get? Thank you

Answer This Question

A:  I haven't used a dust bag on mine but the hose attachment fits perfectly with my 1-7/8" shop vac hose. So if you can find something with those measurements you should be good.

              A:  Hello JR, thank you for your interest in the RIDGID 18-Volt OCTANE Cordless Brushless 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw model number R8654B. I am sorry, we do not make the Kreg Rip Cut and there for do not have a comprehensive list of compatible tools with that product. The R8654B is a typical Circular Saw so if the Kreg Rip Cut works with most Circular Saws than it it likely they can be used together.
