I've got a Delta bs with a 1½" port and a 1¼" hose on the vac. I made a
bushing of wood consisting of, you guessed it a 1½" outside dia. and a 1¼"
inside dia. It aint pretty, but it works. I'd use ducttape only if I wanted
a semi-permanent setup.
Have fun.

I had the same problem, or similar. PC sander and my shop vac with a 1 1/2"
hose on it. I put the hose on the sander outlet, and then drilled a hole
thru it all. Stuck a screw in it with a nut on the other side. Holds fine.
Not a tight fit at all, but I don't care. Sucks all of the sanded material
that I need it to suck. And comes off by simply undoing the nut and
removing the screw. Goes back on just as easily. Simple.

of PVC and shimed the PVC with duct tape, used a old soup can or the like 1
time.

I've got an adaptor out there. If I ain.t mistaken, I got it at Lowe's. I
can't remember exactly, it's been a long time since I got it, and don't know
why I even got it. The mind is a terrible thing to waste.
