Adapter For Dust Outlet For Sliding Compound Mitre Saw

[pollys13]

My Black & Decker SMS254 mitre saw has a dust port O/D of 4.2cm and my vacuum cleaner hose has an O/S diameter of 3.5cm. I've been trying to find an adapter to connect the two together. Found a lot of rigid plastic ones, not right sizes. Axminster do tapered rubber type step hose reducers. They do three different sizes. Axminster product codes, 102534,102538 and 102533.

Not one of them would connect at both ends, seems I would need to join two different sizes together to make the connections.Also in that case, not sure how would join rubber to rubber to join two adapters together.Using two brings it up to around £30 to connect the vacuum to the saw.

They do a heat shrink plastic sleeve but I used if a hot air gun. I think I could damage the plastic on the saw and vacuum hose.
Anyone know where I can get a suitable adapter I don't want to use duck tape?
I've searched through forum posts but none wiser.
Cheers.

One of these will do the job, you cut one or both ends to match the tubes you're joining.

Have you tried Yandles? They do loads of really great adaptors, I recently bought a load from them.

Yes, those are the Axminster ones I mentioned. Seems I would need to buy two sizes and join up to make the connections both ends. £30+ and not sure how would join rubber to rubber.

Medium reducer: 38mm/45mm to 55mm/60mm
This one will do you, wrap some tape around the 35mm coupling to make it up to 38 if necessary.

OK thanks, Axminster just came back to me and said I would only need one adapter. The 38mm/45mm to 55mm/60mm one you mentioned.
Sorted
Cheers.

Universal car steering rack gaiter will sort out these problems.

This is why I love this forum. Totally out of left field comes powertools with an idea I'd never have thought of in a millenia.

Nice one.
