Hello all,
I have specific need for an 80 mm dust collection hose. At one time there was never a problem purchasing metric sizes for hoses now I find it difficult. Some of the places I tried advertised they sell metric size hoses but when I’m on the sites they only offer inch size hoses. All my shop collection hoses are metric, I never thought it would have been hard to find with all the euro machines being sold in the USA.
In this particular instance I can not use tape or whatever to wrap on the mating connector to make up the extra room of using an inch size hose. I need an 80mm hose. I had extra in the rafters but yrs of heat made them a bit sticky and useless. So much for looking ahead for the day I needed this hose.
I’ll post a picture of what was left of the one inside the machine. This was an auxiliary pick up hose for the shaper hood inside the machine. Lately I was wondering why there was so much dust inside the machine so I decided to explore and found the remains of what was an 80 mm hose.
