I am so excited I may get to help answer a question in /r/woodworking!!!
Tl;Dr: If your dust port is the same size as the linked adapter, you'll want one of these to connect the two.
I have a Jet bandsaw, and first tried the adapter linked to in /u/dstutz's post. But the Jet's dust port was the same diameter as the adapter, so I had to duct tape the heck out of it to keep it on and sealed. That worked, but the weight of the hose pulled it off every once in a while and it was a PITA to move.
Enter this. It's a simple sleeve that coupled the adapter to the dust port and tightened down easily.
I used one of these on my bandsaw before I got my HF dust collector.
