Connect a Bosch GTS 10 table saw port to a Fein Turbo 35 mm hose

How to join a Bosch GTS 10 table saw port to a Fein Turbo 35 mm hose, and what stops it leaking dust.

Not compatible

Not compatible without stepping down. A Fein Turbo 35 mm hose is far larger than the Bosch GTS 10 table saw port, so it needs a 63 mm to 35 mm step reducer.

Shop notes

The hose is about 35 mm and the port about 63 mm, a gap of 28 mm, so the port simply swallows the hose with no contact. A 63 mm to 35 mm step reducer is needed, and even reduced the airflow is mismatched between the Bosch GTS 10 table saw port and the Fein Turbo 35 mm hose.

Wrapping tape to close a 28 mm gap never seals cleanly and chokes the airflow further. Step the sizes properly, or pair each end with a fitting closer to its own size.
