Question about dust hoses

[Goldberg Arts]

I currently have a Domino 500 and TS55 Track Saw and am looking to purchase a hose to work with both. I believe the Domino has a port to use with the 27 hose connector and the Track Saw has a connector that can fit either the 27 or 36 hose connectors? Is the 27 hose sufficient to use with the track saw or do I really need to use the 36? I know I can buy 27 to 36 adapter to allow the 36 hose to be used on the Domino but with hose that's $70 more than just getting a 27 hose, as well as being bulkier. Any insights from people that have both machines and one or the other hoses? Thanks.

The 27mm hose is good enough for both the TS55 (TS75 in my case) and DF500. In use, it's pretty much 100% dust collection for the DF500, but less for the TS. Depending on the cuts, it won't be dustless even if you use a 36mm hose on the track saw.

My track saw is an HK55, for me, the 27mm hose does fine with both the saw and a  Domino.  I have a 36mm hose that I use mostly with my miter saw. Most videos I've seen showing the rack saws in use are using 27mm hoses.

I have both hoses, I've used bother with my 55s, there is a reducer for the 36 to go to 27.  Be sure to get the new hoses.  I probably have 6-7 hoses but the new ones are the best for flexibility.

In my experience, the smaller 27mm hose is the best for all but the biggest chip producing tools/cuts.
The smaller hose is lighter and more flexible, so it has less effect on you as you use the tool.  The TS 55/75, DF 500/700, PS420, OF1010, MFK 700, etc and all of the sanders are fine with it.
Some smaller bits/cuts with the OF1400 are ok too, but this is the tool that I do get the bigger hose out for. Big bits, deep cuts can overwhelm the smaller fitting and clog it up.
The big dust producers (OF2200, Kapex) are the ones I would consider the 36mm hose a requirement. I don't have either of these and use a large dust collection system for my mitersaw anyway.

Thanks all! Great insights, made my selection easy.
