dust port on Ridgid ts3650

[roundman81]

Does anyone know how to change the 2.5" dust port on the 3650 to 4 or 6"?
Thank you.

You can always add an adaptor that goes from 2-1/2" to 4", or you can add a bottom pan with a 4" port, but it'd be pretty tough to actually replace the 2-1/2" port altogether.

I was told that I should have at least a 4'' and a 6" would be better for a dust port. Going from 6" down to 4" and then to a 2.5" at the saw would not be a good thing. I thought with all the 3650s out there someone would have changed that out by now. Just hoping for a short cut. I'm gonna work on it, but will still take any advice anyone might have. Thanks!
