I have a JET JWBS-18 Bandsaw and It's a nice machine. I have one problem --
the dust collector port. I find it very difficult to attach my JET D-650
dust collector to it. I have one of those attachments that allow you to
hook up to a 4" port and while it works fine on my other machines, it barely
makes a connection with the bandsaw port and slips off at the slightest
touch. Have tried a few things, but no success so far. Any suggestions?
Put some masking tape around the outer edge of the dust port on the bandsaw
to make the fit more snug.

There are no stupid questions.
There are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.

I have the same saw, and a 4" quick connect/disconnect coupler from Rockler
works great. Just a tapered slip fitting and it stays nice a snug.
