I use 3/4" pine. It has just a little bit of 'give'

Glue the two halves together and you have a customized adapter.

All the blades on the fan appear to be sheared off. I assume that fan helped to propel the chips out of the duct system. It  still ejects some chips but a lot of chips are not ejected and seem to be clogging up around a belt inside the machine. 

Your mentioning about putting a dust collection system to the chute was something I had thought about. I think my 5 gal garage vacuum would possibly help with the problem but I would need to find some type of connection that would bridge the gap. The vacuum has about a 3” hose but the dust chute on the planer is rectangular in shape, about 2 by 3 “.
