Makita Sander Shop Vac Adapter

thingiverse

This adapter lets you connect any Makita sander with a 1.25" hose to a Shopvac using the connector section of the dust bag. It fits perfectly and provides a snug seal. I've been using it with my BO5041 5" random orbit sander, but their other orbital and random orbit sanders seem to have the same square dust bag that this part requires. To use: Simply remove the original bag from your sander's bag connector and insert this adapter in its place. The locking tab on this adapter is an exact replica of the original component, so it works just as designed. The designers were thoughtful enough to use straightforward numbers for ease of use. I've had about 10 hours of use with a print made from PETG material, but one printed from flexible filament might be even more suitable.
