Dust Extraction Question

[custard]

I've got a disc sander with a 63mm dust extraction port. I need to connect this to either a Festool vac with a 36mm hose, or to my main workshop dust extraction system which has 120mm and 80mm hoses.

I can't find any suitable adapters on the Axminster web site. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

If you have a lathe you could make one

I bought a couple of reducers from Ebay but cant remember the seller. Search 'hose reducer' and you will come up with plenty.

For this sort of problem I use a universal stretchy car cv boot. The small end will fit over your vac hose and roll back the large end until it has a diameter slightly smaller than the outlet of the sander and stretch it on. This arrangement works for all my small machines for my hand held powertools with different size outlets I use a car steering boot in a similar way.

Thanks for the Ebay reminder, there's a couple of things there that may do the trick.
