Tools and Hardware Reviews of Jet JW1044 4-to-2-1/2-Inch Reducer
Customer Review: Perfect for the dewalt table saw
Summary: 4 Stars
Inially I was upset with this, it didn't fit. Well, my mistake, I didn't see the OD part. Anyway, I found the perfect spot. It fits the 2 1/2 inch port for the Dewalt table saw perfectly. I have now replaced the elbow fitting that came with the saw that for some reason is set to point at the saw leg, making it useless. Now my saw is easy to connect to my 4 inch collection system.Customer Review: Read the features carefully - or be disappointed...
Summary: 4 Stars
This connector is female on both ends. I didn't pay close enough attention to the description while shopping and ordered it expecting to be able to connect my 2 1/2" shop-vac hose to the 4" dust collection port on my table saw. Needless to say, I was dismayed to discover the diameter of this adapter and the port on my table saw were the exact same OD - meaning it doesn't fit without a 4" hose between the two.
If you do end up in the same situation as me - don't give up hope. I aligned the adapter and DC collection and wrapped a length of duct tape around both. A solid connection that converts my tablesaw from 4" to 2 1/2" and works great! Hope that helps those who were in the same situation as I. For those who have yet to purchase, just make sure this is really the product you are looking for.
In case anyone is really concerned, the actual construction of this adapter is solid and accurate.
Customer Review: Recommended but doesn't fit Woodstock Dust Collector
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this because it was recommended by Amazon as an adaptor to smaller hose size, but in fact it does not fit. The diameter of the Woodstock Dust Collector is 4"; the adaptor is 3-7/8" actual, so it won't slide into or over the housing. Now I have to find yet another tube to connect the two parts. Dumb solution!!Customer Review: Reduce Hose Size, Increase Air Suction
Summary: 4 Stars
If you need to step down in the DC system, which is recommended, this works great. The ends are to size stated, the hose fit easily and the wire clamps put it all together snuggly. The fitting allows you to step down from a larger main line to smaller branch lines near the machine, thus increasing the air suction, where it's needed most, by the machine.Customer Review: Reducer

What can I say. It does the job it was intended for. Nice heavy plastic.
