on February 24, 2013

Attaching smaller hoses to your shop vacuum is useful for cleaning in tight places and hooking up dust collection for portable tools. With this in mind, Club member Charles E.

If you don’t have a lathe, you can use PVC plumbing fittings and sheet plastic to adapt any size hose to your vacuum.
