Dewalt DW718 + Dust collection... !!!

[phillamb168]

I love my DW718 because it's well-built and pretty capable for most of what I need to do. However, the dust collection is atrocious. Of course in general dust collection in my shop is bad as I've only got a crappy shopvac. That all will change soon, though, as the kind folk at The Woodworking Center are sending me a Jet DC1100A dust collector. However those ports are 10cm, and the DW718's port is a vacuum hose style connector. What would be the most efficient way to introduce them to each other?

You may hate this idea, but I use duct tape (Gorilla tape is good too), it's what holds Alaska together so it must be good!

If thats a mitre saw then the dust collection in general wont be fantastic. I have seen some interesting solutions on the net to help improve the collection (perforated saw tables with extraction under), might be worth looking round for some ideas.
