Rotex RO 90 with Mirka hose

[avrs22]

I'm looking to get a Rotex RO 90 DX Multi-Mode Sander.
I currently have a Mirka sander hooked up to a Mirka vacuum with a 24 ft. hose.
Will the Mirka hose fit on the RO 90?
Or will I need some other parts?

Do you have a measurement for the inside and outside dimensions of the hose end?  I suspect that Mirka vacuums are not well known to the members here.

I think it has a 1.25 In. outside diameter

I am sorry, I don't have the RO90 and after your post I took a look at images.  The inside diameter of your hose would be the key measurement.

Sorry.

Peter

I just now tried mine -- the Mirka hose will just "start" onto the RO90 but would take considerable force to get it on, I'm not sure I could force it enough without splitting the hose.

Something like the Fein step adapter could be used to mate the two with a reasonable fit.
