| End A | DeWalt miter saw dust elbow (1-1/2 in outer) (1-1/2 in OD, 38 mm OD) |
|---|---|
| End B | Makita 38 mm hose (1-1/2 in ID) |
| Fit type | male port into hose cuff |
| Reducer needed | none, direct friction fit |
Shop notes
The port measures about 38 mm and the hose about 38 mm, the same, so the port seats inside the hose as a friction fit. No reducer is needed for this pairing, so the DeWalt miter saw dust elbow (1-1/2 in outer) and the Makita 38 mm 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.
