Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fein 921072K13 Step Adaptor
Customer Review: Small accessory, big help
Summary: 5 Stars
The small accessory is reasonably priced compared to some other Fein accessories, and it's really useful -- much more so than the cylindrical rubber connector that comes with the vacuum.
Put the large diameter end over the end of the vacuum hose and you can securely push the other end into the dust port of a miter saw, orbital sander or other dust-generating tool that has a 1" to 1-1/4" diameter dust port (25 to 31 mm). For example it matches the Fein hose to the dust port of a Bosch sliding compound miter saw securely enough so that the hose stays in place when the saw goes back and forth on the sliders.
You really don't need to trim it for the particular tool you're attaching it to. Just leave it untrimmed and you can use for many tools.
Customer Review: The only workable adaptor for diverse tools
Summary: 5 Stars
I use several of these Fein step adaptors (drawing into either the 4" shop system or to one of my Porter-Cable vacuums). They provide a reliable friction fit into the dust tubes of every Bosch and Makita tool I own, and plenty of others as well. I have found that the Jet and other brands of step adaptor just aren't worth the effort: Poor fit means I have to tape them into place, which means that I've just dedicated a crummy little adaptor to one machine or portable tool. Nuts.
Until there's a law that all light machines and portable tools must have the same size TAPERED dust portal, I'll happily go on settling for this tapered fitting and skip the rest of the plastic.
Oh yeah. The Fein is also better made and more durable than its competitors -- vital for a piece of plastic that's always getting pulled out of one fit-up and jambed into another.
Customer Review: Useful piece of rubber
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this stepped rubber tube often between a Ridgid 6" R/O sander and the hose from my venerable Fein Turbo Two shop vac. Once inserted firmly in the vacuum adaptor provided by Ridgid the resulting tight seal makes for a very efficient dustless vacuum setup.
Unfortunately at times it seems a bit too efficient with the sander motion being constrained by the powerful suction of the Fein vac. I modified the step adaptor by drilling a half-inch hole in the exposed part that is between the sander and vac hose and the resulting "air leak" allows for a good balance of suction and sander mobility. The result is WAY better than sanding without a vacuum set-up. Would recommend.
Customer Review: adaptor
Summary: 3 Stars
I expected it to be a larger diamater, but it will work fine on my sander port. I must have missed the noted size when I ordered it.Customer Review: works with Festool CT vacs
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this to connect my Festool CT Mini vac standard hose to my Makita and Bosch tools. It fits well after trimming the tapered end of this connector. I am glad that Amazon sells this simple and useful item that my local big name hardware stores failed to provide.
