Shop notes

The port measures about 51 mm and the hose about 50 mm, only 1 mm apart, so the port seats inside the hose as a friction fit. No reducer is needed for this pairing, so the Bosch GTS1031 table saw port and the Festool D50 antistatic hose connect directly.

It is a push fit, not a lock. Seat it fully and check it has not crept loose after a few minutes of vibration before you trust it on fine dust.
