The benefit of all this is to allow one to connect the metric sized Festool product to a standard sized Shop Vac, a lower cost alternative to going the extra expense of purchasing the Festool dust extractor and assessories. Stop complaining, guys. Since I currently own 3 different size Shop Vacs, why buy another vac just for the saw. I don't know if the VAC002 adapter fits any of the Bosch tools mentioned, but it does fit the 36mm dust port on my Festool TS 55 plunge cut saw. This allows you to connect a standard Shop Vac 1-1/4 inch hose to the inside of the adapter's outlet or, as I did, connect a Mr Nozzle 15 ft hose to the 1-1/2 inch outside of the adapter's outlet. I am not aware of any other adapters with these dimensions, so this one is worth 5 stars from me. I hope this little tip might be useful to others in a similar situation.
Does not work as an adaptor for Bosch vacuum hoses to smaller commonly sold household vacuum attachments.
I read the review and ordered it anyway. S. Yee "Screw It" from NY was absolutely correct. IT DOES NOT FIT. How could Bosch do this.
I bought a Bosch 1250DEVS sander. One end slips on the tool loosely, but the hose won't fit on other end. I tried forcing it on, then decided to shave a little off the adapter and tool port. I called Bosch and desribed to them I had a 1 1/4" standard hose. Thought about returning but postage costs as much as adapter. They told me it would fit. I read review of it by EvilTwin and he stated this VAC002 didn't fit. I reversed it, hose fitting on other end but adapter is too small to fit on the dust port.
Took the chance, now regret it. EvilTwin was correct, IT DOESN'T FIT. It is usable but does not stay on. You have been warned, don't buy this.
