Erbauer Orbital Sander Dust Extraction Adapter

[SawdustDreams]

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone knows of an adapter I can use on my Erbauer sander to connect it up to my dust extraction vacuum. I need one that goes from oval to round but can't find any such thing online.

Any ideas?

Had a similar issue with an old hitachi palm sander - nothing exists. Short of 3d printing your own, I doubt you will find one to buy. The way I got around it was to get some waste pipe, applied heat to one end to soften the plastic, which allowed me to mould the pipe to the shape of the dust port, by working it onto the dust port whilst it was soft. Once it cools it retains its shape. You then also have a round outlet at the other that will hopefully accept a dust hose. Took a few goes to get right but did the job. Good luck.

Nice roll of sellotape. Bought this highly recommended thing the other day and found this ridiculous little spout on the end of it.
