Electric Sanders

David Burke asks
I am looking for a hose adaptor which will fit on the exhaust of a 550x Deros electric sander. I already have a hose and vacuum (Fein) which I would like to use with my new Mirka tool without a large outlay for a new hose or vac system.

Hello!
The Fein dust extractors do not fit very well on the Mirka sanders. They fit a bit loose and the tool-end of the Fein suction hose tends to be a bit big for the sander. The portion of the sander that the power cord comes from is a bit tight, and doesn't like to hold onto the Fein Hose end. Mirka only sells an adaptor for their specific hoses, as does Fien. We do not sell any kind of adapter that i can guarantee will work between the two brands. Most of the products, consumables, accessories, etc are proprietary. They wont want to make anything that allows you to use competitive brand products. However the festool hose fits perfectly into the Mirka sander dust port, as well as the Mirka dust extractor and the Fein dust extractor as well. I hope this helps!
Thank you for your inquiry!
