Description
I needed a vacuum hose adapter for my Dewalt orbital sander when working overhead. Since the weight of the vacuum hose can add additional strain to your arm when working overhead, I created a 90° adapter that will keep the hose more in-line with your arm minimizing the strain. This adapter works with a 6gal Shop Vac since that was the model of vacuum I had to work with. The vacuum nozzle has about 1° of draft, so I reflected that on the adapter so the nozzle has a snug fit and stays secure well working. The adapter also has a snug fit to the orbital sander discharge nozzle. I included two build plates one with a straight adapter and a second with the 90° adapter.
