Fein Turbo II to Porter-Cable Quicksand 334

I gather that the problem is that the fein hose is a nonstandard
(metric?) hose compared to the fitting on the american-made tools. Am
I correct in this assumption?

Don't know about metric but it is non-standard -- at least it's not
compatible with anything else in my shop. Otherwise the vacuum is great.

That's what I use also. However, the sander has a nib molded in that
retains the stock canister and it is in the way of the adapter, so some tape
is still needed.

I use black electrical tape instead of duct tape. I still have SOME class
:-)

The Fein step adapter does not fit snug on the PC 333/334. I even cut a
slit in the adapter for the raised rib on the 334, yet the adapter slips off
easily. I raised hell about this at the Atlanta show last August with PC
and Fein. They both told me to go see "the other vendor" for an adapter.

So, duct tape/electrical tape is the solution.....

Porter Cable makes an adaptor. I bought mine when Wordworkers went out of
business; before that I used duct tape also. The adaptor is much much
better, but is probably a little pricy when not 70% off.
