I have tools from a number of manufacturers and would like to buy dust port adapters
for each tool which would allow me to easily connect/disconnect them from
a Festool 36mm hose. Are the inside and outside
diameters (I.D. & O.D) of the connectors at the ends of the Festool hoses as well as that of the
Festool tool dust port adapters/connectors documented anywhere ?
I measured the I.D/O.D of the tools and found a large variety - any suggestions on what to
use as dust port adapters/connectors (eg. Festo oval dust port,
Makita 21mm/31.5mm, 67.5mm/74.5mm,30.2mm/38.5mm,
Bandsaw(95.5mm/100mm), Cyclone (48.4mm/54.7mm) ?

I know PVC pipe can be heated and then expanded or contracted to fit , what about the black plastic
adapters/connectors from Festool/Nilfisk/Makita etc. – can they also be heated/their diameter changed ?

 
I have made a few connections using Bosch parts. Quite honestly it is a little trial and error along with a bit of ingenuity and reverse engineering. Another source of miscellaneous adaptors may be found at Oneida.  Good luck!
