Connect TS 60 KEBQ to non-Festool dust extractor/shopvac

[adamchatko]

I just bought my very first Festool ever, and I went for the TS 60 KEBQ plunge saw with the 1400 guide rail. I previously used a Kärcher shopvac with my other tools (I know that's not very flashy, it was one of the first purchases I made when I decided to start tinkering with woodworking in my garage), and when I tried to connect the vac hose to the saw, it wouldn't fit.

Is there a good way to bridge that, is there an accessory (ideally an adapter, not a full hose, but if that's the only way, I am open to it as well) I can buy from Festool (or someone else) that would help me connect these 2 pieces?

You should be able to find an adapter that can work at a hardware store that sells shopvacs or a woodworking store that sells dust collection components.  Or a combination of an adapter that fits your hose and is close enough and use a second adapter or even a rubber plumbing boot.

If you have a 3d printer you can lookup and see if any of the OSVac models would work.

Per above.

In addition, this may sound smug, but having only that Karcher, your best best is to get the CT 15 (if on a budget) and be done with it. Your lungs will thank you for that.
