Does anyone know where I can obtain such a critter? The nearest Rockler
and Woodcraft store deny that it exists.

My bandsaw came with a dust port meant for use with a shop vac and having
a 2" OD. I need to get from that to a 2 1/2" DC hose.

TIA, Bill

Bridging between the dust collection world and the vacuum world is pretty
frustrating. The "wand" fitting that comes with many shop vacs is typically
2 1/2" O.D. on one end and 2 1/4" O.D. (2" I.D.) on the other. It can be
used as an adapter, perhaps even cut in half and still work. You would have
a lot easier time if you were using 4" hose, as adaptors for shop vac hose
are readily available.
