I could not get any of my many hoses to fit the nozzle of the Kreg jig dust shroud, so I made an adapter from a section of PVC electrical conduit purchased from HD or Lowe's. I don't remember which, but I started with a 90 degree bend section.
I had to enlarge the ID of the conduit slightly which I did using a drill fitted with a ~one inch diameter drum sander. The tool end fitting of Festool's 27mm AS hose (supplied with Festool's vacuum machines) fits tightly into the conduit section. The slight curve of the adapter helps relieve the strain on the Kreg shroud that would otherwise occur due to the hose being held straight out horizontally from the Kreg jig.
