Shop notes
Measured across the joint between the DeWalt miter saw dust elbow (1-1/2 in outer) and the Festool D50 antistatic hose, the hose (50 mm) is 12 mm larger than the port (38 mm), so the port rattles inside without gripping. A 1-1/2 in to 50 mm step reducer closes that 12 mm step so the two hold together instead of leaking at the gap.
A 12 mm mismatch feels close enough to force, and it will hold for a minute before it works loose under airflow. Fit the step ring rather than trusting friction on a gap this size.
