Hey Slowcutter, if you are looking for just plain clear tubbing, you can find it in the plumbing section of any hardware store. If you are looking for the sectional tubing like on DeWalt and Excalibur saws, Mike at mikes workshop sells one that can probably be adapted to your saw.

I used Aquarium Clear Air Line.  Not sure how the price compares, but I had it laying around anyhow, so it fit the bill..

Nice site! Been looking for a place to get that stuff, on my craftsman its too short for my liking, and wanting to try a different nozzle rather the round hole thats on there now.

walmart in the fish section.

I bought about 10 feet of the stuff for a couple bucks.

Also picked up an aquarium air pump that works way better then the pump on my saw because it is on 100% of the time.

I bought a replacement tube for my Craftsman and added to the length of the original. Then I ran the tubeing from the aquarium pump inside it. See the air tubeing going in the hole I drilled where the bellows used to be. It works really well, blows the dust right into the vac hose behind the blade.
