Reducer 60mm to 100mm

Here's the place to talk about all your table saws, bandsaws, routers and dust extractors. In fact anything that makes noise and uses electrickery.

Reducer 60mm to 100mm

Postby Andyp » 25 Feb 2016, 17:26

I hinted elsewhere that a recent visit to England resulted in me coming back with a new toy, photos of which will have to wait until I can get out of the house.
Anyway before I can use it I need a way to attach it's dust port to my 100mm extractor. The dust port is a non standard size and has a slightly conical outside diameter starting at 59mm rising to 60mm with an internal diameter of 53mm.

I am not having much luck finding an adapter or reducer to fit over the exiting port and allow attachment of my 100mm hose.

Anyone have any bright ideas or bodges that would help?
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Is the 60 mm part male?

Even if it is not, a trivial turning of a lump of laminated MDF makes dead easy adaptors.

In the case of a male 60mm spigot, bore the block of mdf, ply or hardwood to fit then turn the OD to 100mm

Oh yes - don't forget to put a hole through the middle. :lol:

:oops: I am spending too much time indoors looking for the most complicated solution and overlooking the obvious.
I have 2 solutions now Bob's way or take 2 pieces of wood make a 100mm hole in the centre of one and a 60mm hole in the centre of the other than glue than together.
