FWIW, my Craftsman Track Saw has a dust hose which has the same outside diameter (~35mm), so there seems to be some support for this size domestically.
Someone should make a YouTube video where in CC they draw a few circles, then cut it out on their Shapeoko. Name it something like the YouTuber Sweepy Adapter. I think it will be wildly popular.
After reading this thread a few weeks ago I bought a “WORKSHOP Wet Dry Vacuum Adapter WS25007A 2-1/2-Inch Universal Wet Dry Shop Vacuum Adapter Is An Ideal Shop Vacuum Accessory” (Amazon description) at the depot and cut it to fit. Works great.
Have you tried it with the “new” Sweepy? (see @Todd photo above) It takes a male 35mm ID fitting - and the port has a boss/gusset (whatever) on the back preventing a female fitting.
Correct. My concern is the fitting for the dust pick up. I know Shapeoko has recommended one from Bosch, and it works, but it is anconcentric reducer - and it needs to be eccentric. I don’t have a 3D printer so this would be a great opportunity for Shapeoko to make one to fit their Sweepy. (hint, hint)
I will be happy to share the model for free or I can print with standard 3d print pricing, (Web calculator) and actual shipping cost.
I have a Sweepy and also the adapter you listed, And since it just so happens I had this on my list of things to do, and I just got done modelling a adapter for the Suckit, I don’t mind doing this at all.
It will be measured to fit on my HDZ.
Also I highly recommend switching to a hose with a metal wire to attach a ground to prevent static dust buildup. It is a hazard.
I will make two adapters, one with my dust sleeve design for the 2-1/2" Peachtree hose and one with the simple slide on hose you shared the link for.
Could you share a pic of your hose end for me please?
Here is what I came up with. It is setup for maximum flow and should fit much better then the adapter listed which was flopping around in the Sweepy port on mine anyway.
Doing a test print now, I will adjust the bottom for a perfect Sweepy fit.
If you show me a picture of the hose you are using I can customize the top for you. This model has 2-1/2" outside diameter.
If anyone needs the model, it is free to forum users just ask. My 3d printer is not the greatest though, always with the random minor blemishes…
I need a Carbide3DPrinter. One that prints aluminum.
