Connect a Makita 24 mm tool cuff to a Fein Turbo 35 mm hose

How to join a Makita 24 mm tool cuff to a Fein Turbo 35 mm hose, and what stops it leaking dust.

Reducer required

Not a direct fit. Joining the Makita 24 mm tool cuff to a Fein Turbo 35 mm hose needs a 24 mm to 35 mm step reducer.

Shop notes

Measured across the joint between the Makita 24 mm tool cuff and the Fein Turbo 35 mm hose, the hose (35 mm) is 11 mm larger than the port (24 mm), so the port rattles inside without gripping. A 24 mm to 35 mm step reducer closes that 11 mm step so the two hold together instead of leaking at the gap.

A 11 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.
