Festool adaptor for makita dust extractor

[badger99]

Hello,

i have the Makita vc4210mx dust extractor. And am planning on getting a festool mitre saw, probably the Festool 561729 Kapex sliding mitre saw. My question is about connecting the makita dust extractor to the festool. Is this possible? i can only find adaptors for Makita mitre saws to festool extraction, and nothing the other way around. Does anyone have any experience with this, and do i need any specific adaptor?

Thanks,

The Kapex has a 36mm hose connector if you push the hose on the outside (best option) or 27mm if you push the hose in to the connector.

You will need a 32mm outside to 36mm inside adaptor.
Edit. Or measure the outer diameter of the Makita hose and get and adaptor for that dimension to 36mm inside diameter.
