Dust Right Universal Small Port Hose Kit-Rockler

[Mike Henderson]

Mike,
That's on a Kapex, right?

Here is the best I came up with. Ridgid Professional Hose is $37 from HD or $58 from Amazon:

The ends screw off the hose so you can easily shorten the hose to improve suction as much as possible. The hose is 1-7/8" so lots of suction. One of the ends supplied is perfect fit over the Kapex suction port. One of the other ends is perfect into a standard 2-1/4" shop vac port.
Big improvement over a full length Festool standard hose that comes with a Festool vac.

Oops, this is very late but I didn't see your question until today. Yes, it is on a Kapex.

got them today. all three ports for $24 including shipping. But as I was typing this I checked Rockler to verify the name/sku # of what we are discussing and I noted that they now have two of the three ports in the kit on their regular web site for $15 (plus shipping, of course (http://www.rockler.com/dust-right-auxiliary-hose-ports) But why it includes only 2 of the three ports makes no sense, but it's Rockler. I am happy though because now they want $50 for the whole kit and the last thing I need is another hose.

I use the Bosch 5M hose. It's 35mm in diameter. The end of the hose fits my DeWalt track saw fine. My DeWalt orbital sander needs the little adapter Bosch sells for the hose. It's a relatively inexpensive option and a pretty good copy of a Festool hose (the larger one).
