I just purchased a recon midy and dx 93. These are my first two festools. The dust port on the dx is an oval but the hose is round. Do I need an adapter or is the hose just supposed to be pushed around it? It doesn't seem like it would be very secure that way.

Just shove it on there. [big grin]
The hose connector will conform to the oval port. There are a couple of tools with oval ports and no adapter is necessary.

Because of the rubber connector of the hose it will fit the oval dust port of the DX 93. Just push it!
Some other (older) Festool machines also use the oval dust port, like the OF1010, RS300, RS200, RS100, RAP80 and RAS115.
They don't have such a snug fit as the round ports but it will do.
When you use the hose for some years the rubber will get a little weaker and not fit the oval ports so snug any more.
