Can the dust port fit onto a Shop Vac?

Hose must be the size of the dust port. A reducer or expander could be coupled to the hose of the vac to make a good fit.

This question was asked once before. It's got a 7/8" OD exhaust port and even if you could adapt it up to shop vac size it's just not worth the hassle of having to deal with the hose and the problems that will cause always being in the way. I don't even use the little dust bag that comes with it, I toss them, I wear a dust mask and periodically I blow the dust out of it as everybody should regardless if you use the little dust collection bag or not. If you want your sander to last a long time blow clean dry air into all the ports on the sander whenever you see it's getting really dusty. I hope this helps because I like the sander, I had the old version of this sander and liked that too, even better but companies always figure they have to make their products look new and improved.

You're welcome, I like the old model too, you can take them to home depot and they'll fix them but probably about the same price as a new one. Didn't know about your lead paint problem, in that case get yourself a good respirator and you won't need the shop vac, not only that but a shop vac filter won't help much with lead dust but a respirator will, you can pick a good one up for about 25 dollars and a filter for a few bucks that will filter out everything.

Yes; it connects to most shop vac hoses, some may need the enclosed adapter.

The kit is made for a small vac. I have a small ash vac and I still had to add tape to the connector of this kit because the hose opening to the ash vac is to big. So if it is a full size shop vac it probably won't fit.

No it won't fit but you might take a look at this one: http://www.amazon.com/Shop-Vac-901-02-Shop-vac-Filter/dp/B00018ALGY/ref=pd_sim_hi_8

I only used it with my shop-vac and then only with a double filter. It would probably work with a regular vacuum but all that dust would probably destroy the vacuum motor. It works perfect with the shop-vac. Very little dust gets out of the sander.

Hey Joe, In short, yes. It depends on the exact size of your shop vac's house, obviously (higher powered shop vacs typically have larger diameter houses), but this does come with at least one adapter. If you have a really large hose, you may have to buy a cheap adapter, but this should fit into most hoses no problem. Hope this helps.

Yes. My sander has a 2" OD vacuum port in the back which works well with my shop vac.

I buy type U filters for an old Hoover canister that calls for that type, but I think you would need to see what type of filter your Shop Vac requires before buying any.

yes as long as your hooked to a shop vac and keep the filter clean, works good

Cathy, I have searched and tried to find this answer and have failed, but I would suggest going to https://www.shopvac.com/support/support.asp and submitting this question to Shop-Vac and then letting the world know. I am sorry that I only have another direction for you to meander in your search for truth. good luck - Baker

Yes it hss a dust port. I haven't checked the size, but it appears to not be a common o.d.. bosch sells a dust bag to with it. I haven't purchased it though.

Yes. You can buy a separate attachment for around $10. Looks like a funnel with different diameters. Insert one end into the sander and the other into your shop vac.

Yes, the end fits nicely in the 2-1/2" Shop Vac connection. The included coupling allows connecting the smaller hoses as well (or another large hose).

It has a reducer on it that looks like it will adapt to almost any shop vac.... but I can't guarantee that it will fit every shop vac... sorry.

The outside diameter is 1 7/16 inch, so maybe it would fit inside the shop vac tube. You could measure. If you wanted a more permanent connection, even if the fit were a little off, you might use duct tape.

I assume you mean shop-vac, and yes. But there are different shop-vac wand diameters - this one is 1-1/4. Make sure you have that size, or get an adapter.

There is a two sided dust port on my Bosch. You can hook a vacuum directly to it with a reducer. If you're planning on doing much planing, I'd highly recommend using a Vortex separator from Rockler and a bag in your shop vac. I have filled the vortex many times before needing to change bags in the vac.
