Shop notes
Measured across the joint between the DeWalt DWE7491RS blade-guard port and the DeWalt DWV012 32 mm hose, the port (38 mm) is 6 mm larger than the hose (32 mm), so it will not seat. A 1-1/2 in to 32 mm step reducer closes that 6 mm step so the two hold together instead of leaking at the gap.
A 6 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.
