Can't remember if I or someone else has asked what kind of vacuum you may have attacked to a dillon case trimmer. Pics would be great I want to see how someone has rigged to keep the trimmings all over your reloading bench.
No pics but I found a small shop vac I believe it's a Dewalt corded/cordless that almost attached directly to the nozzle on the trimmer. Did have to use a little duct tape to keep it attached.

I like the looks of that. I have one small vac and it is too weak. Home vac is too large and gets in my way. That looks like it will fit on my bench as I trim cases.
The five gallon bucket topper vacs work ok. Find a smooth hose if you can.
Smooth hose, 2-3 gallon garage sale shop vac will work, as will a bucket topper. ACE carries smooth hose by the foot that you can adapt. I would also suggest you put it outside the shop, or in a cabinet with some foam on the door panels to cut the noise. The foam cover over a paper shop vac filter is also beneficial, especially if you have it dedicated for trimming only.

with a piece of solid tubing from vac to small flex hose connecting to trimmer. You need to check the flex hose for build up, along with the 90* fitting from hose to vac. You also need to remove hose, tap it a few times for the buildup .
Wallmart had those small shop vac for $20. I have one, but it's almost as loud as the big ones.
I wear ear pro when I trim and now when I reload. Had a primer go off while loading 308 and my ears didn't appreciate it, luckily nothing happened to the press.
