you may want to consider incorporating a cyclone type dust collector while you are considering that how to build a vac arrangement. If you go the shop vac route, you may wish that you would have sized up from the beginning.

I just got a HD4 and bought the Kent dust shoe for it. The first time I used it was to level my spoil board. There was no dust anywhere with the shoe.
I do have a question about how everyone that uses a 4" hose with a shoe.
How do you suspend the hose above the router?
I have my hose suspended from the ceiling in my garage, but I think I have too much slack in the hose.
Any ideas on how to do that would be appreciated.

Steve M,
This fix isn't for all but did work for some of us. We built a box around our sharks. The top of the box supports the 4 inch sucker.
Here is a link that may be helpful to see.

Or, you could take a 1/4 inch or better steel rod and make a Sheppard's hook to support the 4 inch hose.
