I have a Fein Turbo 1. I ordered a second hose to cut the existing vacuum house down to length so that the distance between the Dust Deputy and the Vacuum are less, while still having a hose with all end connectors for other purposes (accessories).
I have carefully disassembled one end of the vacuum hose and inspected it. Then I reassembled it. What I found was that there is some type of sealant at the end of the hose that connects the end to a plastic part. I am not sure that I could easily and cleanly remove the sealant material and then cut to length leaving a clean /perpendicular hose end for re-sealing. I am hesitant to just cut off one end and then mash it together with the dust deputy somehow. The issue is that the hose O.D. is quite a bit smaller than the exhaust port on the Dust Deputy. So the gap would have to be dealt with somehow and, because I will need to disconnect it often, It can’t be a permanent connection. I suppose, I could just have the connection from the Dust Deputy exhaust port to the hose be permanent but then am I compromising the use of the Dust Deputy? Thoughts? Thanks.
