A suggestion: for those plastic adaptors that come close but don't quite
fit, use a heat gun to melt the plastic to the point it becomes pliable. It
does not take much heat, and with some judicius shaping, you can custom fit
most any tool receptacle.

making hose adapters is one of those stupid waste of time activities
that you'd better just get used to doing. there are a few decent ones
on the market, and when it's convenient to buy one, great. but the
vacuum cleaner manufasturers and the tool manufacturers can't ever
seem to agree on a standard, although they get pretty close. if you
have a lathe you're in good shape, otherwise a sanding drum is helpful
for adjusting and tapering pvc plumbing fittings....

I use my Fein Turbo II which fits directly into the (Metabo) Ridgid 6"
ROSander.

Silly you.
The fein folks at Fein offer all kinds of adaptoring rubberettes.
I have my Fein II suck on my 3x21 PC beltsander...with some success.
Take another close look at Fein's exquisiye catalogue and find that you
can get ANYTHING from them.
