I brought a small piece of vacuum hose like I use for my shop vac system and left it on the top of the cabinet behind the Bridgeport. It fits on the outside of the inlet on the blue vac, is flexible and doesn’t seem to kink. There is a plastic spiral going through it. The plastic is a bit thin on it so metal shavings might tear it up. Here’s a local link for woodcraft. They also have one with a metal spiral inside that’s a bit more heavy duty. It can probably be found cheaper on Amazon.

Thank you Mike. That hose was a bit hosed
What size hose is our large vacuums? 2" or 2.5"?
Looking for something like this, we seem to kink at the vacuum.
The hose piece I brought up is 2.5 ID and it fit over the white inlet on the vac. The current hose has a plastic fitting that fits the inside of the white inlet. I’ve got two 4 ft pieces of that hose I brought up that the shop is welcome to. They would need to be joined. The fitting from the current hose might work. I should be there Thursday and I try to remember to throw them in the car.
