How to join a Scroll saw dust port to a Festool D27 antistatic hose, and what stops it leaking dust.
Not a direct fit. Joining the Scroll saw dust port to a Festool D27 antistatic hose needs a 1-1/4 in to 27 mm step reducer.
Rings drawn to scale from the measured diameters in the table below.

Shop notes
Measured across the joint between the Scroll saw dust port and the Festool D27 antistatic hose, the hose tip (35 mm) is 3 mm larger than the port socket (32 mm), so it will not seat. A 1-1/4 in to 27 mm step reducer closes that 3 mm step so the two hold together instead of leaking at the gap.
A 3 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.
