Default Tried a DC to empty a shop vac bin?

Have a 4" Y fitting built in so
that one branch picks up at the bottom of the router enclosure (build
something of a slope into the sides to help funnel chips down to the
opening) and the other branch cobbled into the bottom of the shop vac's bin
to empty it.


Wondering if someone on the wreck has tried something like this. How would
it actually work in practice? Would the DC flow starve the shop vac blower
for air?


I suspect that the shop-vac will end up sucking the air out of the DC
hose rather than the other way round. It's got way more suction power
than the DC does.
