Default buying a dust collector

"move suction" OK. If you have a shop vac and you are sweeping up dust
just by using the end of the hose and no tools on the end, then you can
"move the suction" to the end of the wands or another hose by adding it
to the existing hose you are using.

If, however, you attach your hose to a large box and expect the
"suction" to pick up dust at the opposing end of a larger opening,
then the suction from the small hose (shop vac) will decrease and will
not be enough to pick up dust.

Read the book "Connecting Woodworking Tools To A Dust Collector For
Dummys" and you'll understand how to move the suction so it picks up the
dust at the point where it is made.
