Circular saw to Henry vac adapter

danrv

Hi
I’m cutting some PVC shower panels for my bathroom and found the circular saw the best way.
Problem is the debris from the cutting goes everywhere and not easy to collect up. I need to connect my Henry vac to the DeWalt saw dust extraction spout but can’t find anything. Maybe some auto hose would do.
There’s some universal adapters on Ebay. Just wondering if anyone has used them?
Any help appreciated.

This is a right pain for me as I have to use extraction but I’ve found even the same brand sometimes have different sized outlets.
 You can get stepped adapters which you can cut to size which are pretty good, I don’t know if they will fit a Henry though!

I've used duct tape before now when I don't have an adaptor to hand.

Haven't we all, duct tape is quick, easy and removable.

Probably the quickest and cheapest solution to ops problem.

I’ll give that a go. I used some wide tape before but wasn’t sticky enough and hose kept coming off.
Duct tape would be better.
I did contact a Henry adapter seller but would’ve needed a custom made one.

Reminds of something my ex (an engineer) taught me. If it moves and it shouldn't - duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should - WD40.  Oh and your teeth are the best wire strippers in the world.

Served me quite well so far.

Some suitable sized rubber o rings on hover nozzle to give better fit.

Failing that some neoprene tape on nozzle to build up to good fit.

These are fairly universal.

Thanks for the replies.
What would fit properly is DeWalt’s DWV9000 adapter. Pricey though for what it is:

It interlocks and swivels on the saw dust spout and the other end connects to standard 38mm outside diameter vacuum hose.
I’d need to buy another bit of hose though as the Henry connection for the Hoover attachments doesn’t come off.

I have a load of the cheap (£4-5 for a set of 4-5various) adapters for various tool. i've actually glued them onto the tools, some are not a perfect fit for the henry but a wrap of insulation tape seals them. all the ones I use regularly I put a proper adapter on which fits my hoover, all the others are just from what's leftover and it's better than it was before
