Attaching Festool 27mm hose to a Skil SR211601 Orbit Sander

[cjkuske]

Hi,
Newbie here!  I recently purchased the Festool CT15 mini and discovered the hose size is the exact same size as the port on my Skil Orbit Sander, so they won't fit together.  Has anyone found a good solution for this?

Thanks!

There are a few options for this.
Rockler sells an adapter kit that is somewhat universal, many have found a solution there.
There is also the 3D printing route. A company called Tool Curve makes quite a selection of adapters, that are specifically designed for many models of tools.
The have an Etsy store, as well as Amazon, but you might not find the whole line there.

I've found this adapter by Fein,https://www.amazon.com/Fein-Hose-Co...3cbkNHUVmkqqgWwX4CEg&dib_tag=se&keywords=fein+hose+connection&qid=1739826504&sprefix=fein+hose+connection%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-4, work well for these situations.
