Did you ever try to connect your Dust Stopper to the Wen 3401 as a two stage collector like you have on your shop vac?

No I’ve never thought of that maybe I will give it a try.

You need to redo this test using the same diameter hose for both.

Why? The shop vac is made to use a 2.5" hose. The wen is made for 4" plus. He should redo the test without the dustopper.

@@regibson23 Because a 4” hose is going to move more mass faster than a 2.5” hose. Lol

A dust collector isn't a vacuum.

Very scientific comparison. Looking at the rigid vacuum the specs say 161 cfm 2 1/2 " hose wen has 660cfm. 4" hose Maybe compare similar cfm's Not something you had around the house

This is actually a great comparison, because a lot of small shop people start with a Rigid, or similarly sized shop vac, and eventually want to upgrade. The smaller WEN DCs are one of the first things people look at, as they are the lower end of the next step up. There are a lot of people who want to know about these two.
