On the point of adapting to fit most tool suppliers have a range of modifications if you cannot do it yourself or conversly turn the required joiners on a lathe or have someone do it for you.

Cheers John,

No worries with it sucking chips, it's trying to prevent the belt sander dissappearing up its own orrifice that's the issue!!!

You are correct, it owes me nothing (and is in very good shape), some of the adaptors may be a bit tricky on a lathe though.... the ROS connection is oval, the Plane is almost triangular. I am thinking of building a styrene mould and glassing over to suit each particular tool...will post any results if I get around to it.

I'll just keep wearing earplugs I guess.

Cheers,
