    Default Makita BO5021KX1 ROS to 4" Dust extraction

    I have recently acquired a makita BO5021KX1. Which although not as good as a Festool, is actually avoidible to me. I also have a 4" dust extraction system.

    What I don't have is a way to attach my sander which has a strange rectangalar dust bag to my system. (I can send pics later if people interested.)

    Any pointers on how to go about this?

    You should be able to get that bag and mount back to the round so you can fit a plain vacuum cleaner sized pipe to it....the guff on the Mak site seems to suggest you can.
    Ours is not to reason why.....only to point and giggle.

    I can't find my makita catalogue, but there's almost certainly a spare part for what you want to do

    otherwise you can get creative with a plastic milk bottle, a stanly knife and gaffer tape

    Milk bottle is sounding good.
    I looked online and can't find an attachment... probably quite expensive if makita part.

    Is the rectangular peice removable? I don't want to snap it off.

    And connect it to a vacuum cleaner not your 4" Dust Collector, D/C are designed to moved volume not fine stuff
