A new hose connector has appeared on the Rutland site, and as they looked just like the sort of thing I've been looking for recently I couldn't resist. They arrived yesterday and I had a chance to fit them and give them a go.

I also bought a rubber cuff connector so that I could mount the magnetic connector to my Camvac. I then connected one of the machine connectors to the hose to my bandsaw.

The two connected together simply and easily.

I then connected another machine connector to the 100-32 reduction hose I use to connect to most of my other devices (often via a Dust Commander cyclone unit).

And again that connected simply and easily.

All seems to work a treat. I think these units are cheaper than other similar units that I've seen because they only have magnets on one side of the connection. The other side just has a steel ring. That's simpler and easier to implement.

I now have a much simpler way of switching between dust hoses. I'm really pleased.
 
Have you ever tried these ?
Less than half the price, nothing to wear out or come unglued and work well.

At first I thought "why has he added the magnet when he already has something just as good ?" but realised you have the screw version twin wire hose clip.

I have seen those, but I find actually getting the tubes and connectors onto the 100mm housings to be a bit of a pain. It's a tight fit on the Camvac. So securing them quickly once they are on doesn't particularly gain me much. Thanks for the suggestion though.

The plastic dust outlet collar on my bench planer broke. I will look at these to replace next time my glueing repair fails.
