I have a Bosch PEX 300 AE Random Orbit Sander and I wish to connect it to my
Henry vacuum cleaner. Any suggestions for a connector I can buy given the
different dimensions of the hose and the connection on the sander. Looked
on-line and can't find anything. Bosch were useless.

Are there any taper pipes anyone is aware of which could make "universal"
connections

Its pretty possible with a hot air gin to shape a pre-existing tube a bit.

What diameter is the sander takeoff?

I see from the page which Dave Lang posted you can buy exactly that:

A heat shrink sleeve available in three sizes that can simply be held in place
and shrunk to size with a heat gun. The perfect solution for odd sized dust
extraction outlets.

Thanks to both of you.

Google power tool vacuum pipes brings up 10s of suppliers of mainly
stepped pipe adapters

Have one. ~Found it a bit clumsy to use, beside standard vacuum hose is too big and heavy to work effectively. I bought a shop vacuum yonks ago whch came with two hoses and a power take off. The power tool hose is much lomger and narrower. I bought the Axminster attachment tp allow me use a standard vacuum in the work workshop but it was a p.i.t.a. Choked and coughed up the ransom money demanded bu Festool for one of their machines.

I found duct tape was better.
After burning out the green bosch sander and the earlex vac I bought a
blue bosch sander and a blue bosh vac and they don't need an adapter and
they haven't burnt out yet. There is also no dust even when sanding walls.

I've never had much luck using duct tape for this job. It soon falls off.

It used to last a couple of hours, but its cheap.

Perhaps it depends on the quality of the tape.
