Dewalt Orbital Sander Adapter for Shop Vacuum (1.25") Hose

prusaprinters

<p>I needed to connect my Dewalt Random Orbit Sander (DWE6421) to my ShopVac (1.25") hose but while the manual stated it support this, it failed to mention requiring an adapter.</p> <p>Unlike Tailslide, the Dewalt "Universal" connector (DWV9000) would have worked for me but its $20 on Amazon and I am not spending a third of the price of the sander for an adapter.</p> <p>I found Tailside's 30mm adapter and decided to remix the hose end to the 1.25" ID.</p> <p>What was done in the remix:</p> <ul> <li>Increased hose end ID to 1.25".</li> <li>Increased the depth for a better fit and hold</li> <li>Smoothed out the middle so it is more contour</li> <li>Angled the overhang so it shouldn't require supports</li> </ul> <p>UPDATE:</p> <p>Created a longer version based on a make comment. This "Extended" version is 10mm longer on the hose side and 5mm longer on the sander side.</p> Category: Parts
