I have a sanding table (Clarke CDS300) for which I need to organise some
dust extraction; at this stage I don't need anything more sophisticated
than my workshop vacuum cleaner (a Wickes-badged Earlex wet-and-dry model).

However I am really struggling to find anything to connect the two together
neatly (ie not involving bulking out the vaccuum cleaner hose by wrapping
it an old rag. I'm imagining a rubber using a rubber boss shoved
permanently into the sandere outlet, into which I can just plug and unplug
the vac hose at will. Can't find anything suitable anywhere (eg
ebay/Amazon/Google/Axminster) - any ideas?

The sander outlet is 52mm OD, 45mm ID, and the (tapered) tip of the vacuum
cleaner hose is 30mm OD.

[As an aside, I note that a wide-bore hose kit is available for my vac
(http://tinyurl.com/l9gt3zc or http://store.earlex.co.uk/wet-n-dry-
vacuums/wide-bore-hose-kit) - nozzle dimensions different but unknown - how
would that affect the dust collecting properties of my vac?]
