I have a Makita B05021 random orbital sander with a rectangular shaped dust bag connection. Anybody know how to retrofit this to attach a vacuum hose? I can’t find any accessories available from Makita?

I’ve just forced the round hose over the square connector and let the air leak. Your going to be pulling better than the bag would have. I do this on Biscuit jointers also.

On your sander you might see if you can get a piece of flex hose that you could form over the rectangle connector.
