Does anyone know the name of those snaky plastic extractor nozzles that just suck dust out the air from sanding operations or often from chopsaws? I want one for lathe work (sanding only) so I can position it when power sanding to grab the majority of the airborn dust. The other end just plugs into a regular extractor. Its the add on Im after...not the actual extractor.
 
I can just imagine them sat around a table somewhere:

"look lads, we have got to name this product... it is a hose that bends"

"hold on boss, think i have a suggestion..."
 
Extractor needs to be powerful. We have one on the wood lathe and it'll collect dust from below but struggles with anything above the centre line. Maybe the mouth on ours is too large (about 12" going into a 3" hose).
