I needed to connect my Dewalt Random Orbit Sander (DWE6421) to my ShopVac (1.25") hose but while the manual stated it support this, it failed to mention requiring an adapter.

Unlike Tailslide, the Dewalt "Universal" connector (DWV9000) would have worked for me but its $20 on Amazon and I am not spending a third of the price of the sander for an adapter.

I found Tailside's 30mm adapter and decided to remix the hose end to the 1.25" ID.

What was done in the remix:

  • Increased hose end ID to 1.25".
  • Increased the depth for a better fit and hold
  • Smoothed out the middle so it is more contour
  • Angled the overhang so it shouldn't require supports

UPDATE:

Created a longer version based on a make comment. This "Extended" version is 10mm longer on the hose side and 5mm longer on the sander side.
