Replacement dust collector for older Porter Cable orbital sander?

[texasdiver]

I have an older Porter Cable orbital sander that is missing the dust collector. The dust port is a round 1" diameter OD fitting so I can easily adapt it to my shop vac or dust collection system in the garage. But I can'd find a portable little bag that will fit for when I want to use it outside where connecting to a vac is inconvenient.

Some years ago Porter Cable switched its dust collection design and the new ones are more rectangular shape so they won't work. And I can't find anything in the big box stores that look like it will fit.

Suggestions?

Try etoolparts. I think you're referring to the PC 333 sander. They should have the part available.

Best place to find a lot of those discontinued parts is EBAY.

Yeah, it's this piece here that I need:

No one seems to have it. The old one is all hard and cracked.

But any sort of dust collector that will fit is fine with me. Seems like it shouldn't be that hard to find but it is.

I understand you perfectly, because I also have an old orbital sander which does not have a bag for collecting dust, but luckily or unluckily for me, it broke down on a recent project and I had to buy a new one from Bob Smith Tools which had several accessories, but I think you can find it separately if you are looking for the model you have now.
