Hello all,
Anyone know where I can get a converter from the dust extractor outlet of a bosch sander (e.g. PDA180E Delta Sander) to a Dyson vacuum cleaner? I can't seem to find anywhere that sells them (preferably on the web, in the UK) - or is there a general purpose vacuum converter I can get?
Many thanks,
Simon

Gaffer tape.
Axminster do a general purpose stepped/tapered adaptor that you just cut off at the right sizes:
Heavy duty use like that will kill the Dyson.
True. There is one possibility. I've seen little adaptor 'kits' for vacuum cleaners, including a flexible plastic sleeve. They often come with those little one-way 'felt' heads for picking up hair. Try a 'bargain hardware' shop near you.
(mine came with a gadget for drilling holes in brick and vacuuming up the dust).
Thanks all for the help - much appreciated.
Cheers,

Obtain a small plastic clear bottle - made from PET - it's the most common plastic in drinks bottles and the like. Cut off top and bottom, and heat-shrink it down using a hot-air-gun, or a blowtorch carefully, onto the fittings.
