Festool hose solutions for Dewalt table saw

[Boski]

I have purchased a Dewalt flexivolt table saw because after getting the CSC50, I have realised that table saws make life so much easier.

I roughly rip down using the TSC55 and move to the table saw. I'm in a small garage but make it work.

The issue I have is the Dewalt 745 table saw has two dust ports. The connector hose for both ports is about £100, whereas for that money I would rather buy one of the bigger width hoses.

Is there any workaround for using a Festool extraction system for this, maybe a 3D printed solution or some kind of hose splitter?

Would this work?

If you can’t find anything specifically made for this, suggest you take a look at plumbing connections. You should be able cobble something together. Over here the main supplier of the rubber adapters is Fernco. I use one on my bandsaw

Here’s an example.

I just got one of these, and love it. Already had a couple hoses so the ability to connect both at once is great. I'm using it on a router table.

I have the Dewalt 7491. If the ports are the same, I don't think that will work.
The lower port is 2 1/3 inches/57?mm.
The large hose on that is the 36mm, which is too small.
Ironically, the large Y single end should fit the lower port perfectly. But that's backwards.
And neither of the 27 or 36mm ends fit the port above the saw blade.

There is a Dewalt adapter that attaches to the upper port (and other Dewalt tools) that allows the 36mm hose to very tightly fit inside. The collar slides onto the port and rotates to lock/unlock.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B6K4VKS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

Festool does have a large hose that will fit into the lower port.
It may only come in this kit?
The hose is labeled 50mm, which is 8mm less than 2 1/4, but it fits just fine.
The other end (both ends are identical, unlike most Festool hoses) should fit most shop vacs with 2 1/4 slip ports. At least in the US.
Personally, because I have multiple vacuums if I run this inside I use my CT48 up top and one of my barrel shaped vacuums for the bottom port.
Nothing wrong with using a Y adapter and one vacuum.https://www.festoolusa.com/accessor...es/cleaning-sets/577260---rs-gs-d-50#Overview

Assuming this fits the same as the 50 hose (I don't see why it wouldn't) you could use this with the 36 hose up top, and 2 2 1/4 slip hoses/Festool 50 hoses.

I use this adapter with my Rigid OSS which is designed to take a shopvac hose.  It fits into the back/bottom dust port of my Dewalt corded jobsite saw, but is not very tight.

When I hooked up my Festool saw to my shop’s dust collection system.  Festool’s hoses seemed pricey.  I discovered that Bosch hoses fit.

I assume they also mate with Festool’s vac.

You will have to do some research. I will note that the Bosch hose and fittings seem very well made, and no problems for the 3 - 4 years it has been in service.

I use the Festool 50mm hose on the rear port to a Festool CT26. For the blade guard dust collection I just hook it up to my small CT-SYS.

I have the DeWALT 7491 (measurements up a few posts) and I use the silicone adapter below. It slips over the outlet port and my 36mm hose goes into the silicone adapter. That particular adapter isn't available, but it'll give you an idea.

edit: Of course you'd need to rig up a Y connector if you're wanting to capture from the blade guard, too.
