Kreg Jig Connector

[Birdhunter]

I'm building a dresser and using the Kreg pocket hole jig plus Dominos. The jig has an attachment for a vac hose but it certainly doesn't fit my Festool Mini hose.

Any ideas for an adaptor?

If you happen to have the 440404 "suction brush" you can use it as an adapter by putting the hose into the brush end and fitting Kreg adapter into the other side. The combination works well, though looks really odd.

Otherwise, Rockler has an "anything to anything" adaptor kit that might work, I've never tried it though.

Not sure which model Kreg Jig you have. On mine I have been using this Fernco Drain connector for a few years and it's help up well. Less than $5 at HD or Lowes. I think this is a model TC-150 but don't quote me on that. Comes with two hose clamps. I only used one to secure it to the jig and the other end is a fairly snug fit on the hose end. It hasn't dropped out during use.

I know it's a hack but it worked when I needed it in a pinch and haven't seen the need to replace it.

Hi, kreg say the fitting is 1 1/4=32mm approx. I bought the reducer from festool for the wessel tk 286 vaccum nozzel most shop vac have 1 1/4 attachments.

One thing I found that works well is the Leigh Jig #5040 Small Hose Adapter (part of the VRS kit).  It fits the dust port on the Kreg jig very nicely.  The 27mm hose just plugs right in.  Leigh will sell the adapter separately.  [smile]

[member=15289]Birdhunter[/member] I use this one and it works great with the 27mm hose:

I use the Bosch VAC 003 like Richard suggested. I bought two for grins and the other one found a home on another shop tool of mine.

Thanks to all who chimed in. I'll order the Bosch.
