Vacuum hose connector for blast cabinet

[Old Iron]

I picked up a HF Blast cabinet before Xmas and I already built the stand for it. I have 3 shop vacuums and neither one of the hoses fit 2 were to small and 1 was to big.

The ones with the smaller hoses are the ones I wanted to use because there set up with the cyclone.

So i had to make a adapter I had some 2 1/2" PVC round that I got to make the adapters for the cyclone so I used that.

Maybe the pictures will come up in order we'll see. picture one is turning the first end. Only let me get 2 pics in.

Way to go! I have done this many times using PVC or ABS Pipe to turn adaptors to fit between the various diameters of piping used for vacuums and dust collectors.

Nice work, Paul. I did the same thing today, Except I was able to turn down one of the hose fittings I had.
