I have an orbital sander with dust bag. The nipple fitting is 7/8 dia. Id
like to hook that up to the shop vac as that fine dust is the worst of all.
Where can one find or jury rig small hose and adapter for such a thing? The
sander hose would have to have a long length of the small dia for ease of
movement.


A 1 1/4" flex hose (Porter Cable sells one), duct tape, and a toilet
paper or paper towel tube will adapt anything. Slit the tube, wrap the
"nipple", and tape it to a thickness that matches the inside of the
hose. Change the tool, not the hose, and you'll only do this once.

My sanders, biscuit joiners, router fences, etc... all work great with
this method.
