Loc-Line - 81209 Vacuum Hose Component, Blue Acetal Copolymer, Shop Vacuum Adapter with Mounting Tab, 170°F Upper Temperature Range

I purchased the Loc-Line Hose kit and a few extra of these Hose End Adapters with Mounting Tabs to attach to my drill press, band saw and bench top circular/belt sander to supply primary or secondary dust collection by connecting my Ridgid 2.5" shop vac. and hose. The hose and accessories are versatile, and using existing features on my power equipment, all three worked out great. This Loc-Line kit provides the basic dust collection components, but most consumers will need to design some type of interface, bracket, or fitting to connect the Loc-Line pieces to their equipment. I was able to design and 3-D print various adapter pieces that worked for my different machines. If you have access to a 3-D printer, the 3-D object files to these adapters can be downloaded for free. Just search: "Drill Press Clamp/Bracket, 3" Post - for Loc-Line 2.5" Vac. Adapter" , "Clamping Right Angle Bracket, 1/2" Dia. Rod/Shaft, for Loc-Line Vac. Adapt." and "Clamping Straight Bracket, 1/2" Dia. Rod/Shaft, for Loc-Line Vac. Adapt." All in all, I am pleased with this Loc-Line Shop Vacuum kit and these adapters. I have used all three of the machines and the dust collection works great. I did a considerable quantity of drilling (Forstner bit - lots of wood & Styrofoam shavings) and band saw cutting (wood and Styrofoam). The clean up was minimal. The Loc-Line products are a little expensive (for plastic pieces, but they work and they saved me a lot of time making my own pieces. Two thumbs up.

Worked out perfectly as an adapter, just the right size to integrate Loc-Line with standard 1.75 lincoln extraction vacuum hose.

Works Great
