What type of vacuum connection does it have? Can I use it with non-Festool vacuums?

It has a 36mm hose connection. The hose Festool makes for it is antistatic, lightweight, quite flexible. It also has protrusions around the perimeter where it attaches to the tool and the tool has a mechanism to grab those protrusions and keep the hose attached.This sander produces so much dust that it fairly quickly clogs any vacuum I've seen that doesn't have an auto-clean feature. I've used it with the normal Festool vacuums that have a "self-cleaning" filter bag and it works but clogs the filter bag fairly quickly.

It has a universal port to hook up a vacuum hose to. I use a cheap craftsman, and other than the filter clogging up, it works fine.

Bosch sells a 35mm-to-ShopVac hose that works great with Festool tools. Bosch VAC005 5-Meter Vacuum Hose 35mm

You use this with any small hand vacuum cleaner. The big part that you see on the right in the picture is a male to male connector to plug into the inlet opening on your hand vacuum. Then the large part you see on the left is a female connector to hook onto the end of the aforementioned male connector that you just put in your hand vac. The other end of the female connector is reduced down to fit the pictured hose. Then the fitting on the end of the hose will fit into any of the other small accessories that are pictured in the center of the picture. I hope that answers your question.

I have a 4870 Type F-1. Turn the vacuum around so you are facing the back of the unit. Follow the hose to the lower right hand side to where it connects to the clear hard plastic cylinder. There is a quick connect from the hose to the cylinder. Grab the quick connect, turn it right-to-left (clockwise, looking from the top). Hose and connect will slip free. Unwind old hose, install new hose and re-attach the quick connect.-it will take some pushing because of the new gasket on the hose.

Hi, I do have the hose that you need, but it is not this one listed on this email. The hose that you need is Eureka part number 60289-1. I sure hope this helps you out. Vacuum Cleaner Market

I don't know, but if I were you I wouldn't waste my money on it. I bought it to go with my vacuum, but I didn't think it worked worth a darn and don't use it.

Hi. You use the larger black attachment in the kit that has a large opening and a small opening. You fit the larger opening to the hose of you vacuum cleaner, attach the small hose to the smaller opening then attach whichever attachment you will need to that. Hope I answered this correctly for you.

It fits Festool perfectly. The vac end is an exact match to the Fest fitting. It comes with a tool end that exactly matches Fest's 27mm end. It fits over the sanders, Domino"s ect dust port. It fits in the larger ports of the saws. I took a tool end Festool fitting off of a Fest 36mm hose. It attached perfectly, making this a perfect, and much cheaper substitute for a Fest 36mm hose. So long as you dont need anti static of course.

I use a shop vac from Sears and it works fine. I have to clean the filter every so often but it still works. So if my cheap vac works I am sure that Festool should work great.

I'm not sure it comes with the vacuum, but I can connect mine to the hose on my vacuum cleaner. There are fittings that let you use any vacuum that has a hose. My upright Hoover has a hose on the side and I can use that. You should probably turn off the beater bar on the vacuum, though.

No, but have found that standard pool vacuum hose works fine with this unit.

It will work with any vacuum that has a standard hose connection. We have an upright vacuum with a hose attachment and it works fine. The kit comes with two adapters for the hose connection.

Not sure about the end that connects to the vacuum, but the loose end that connects to attachments has an inside diameter of 1" (outside diameter is 1 1/8")

This hose is not the one in the picture. the one you get has the sure lock connector to the vacuum cleaner if your vacuum cleaner uses the sure lock system it may work. what is pictured is the friction connector system. (just pushes in not having a locking button)

Yes, you can use this on a regular vacuum. Easily attaches to the hose. I have tried it with the vacuum & my regular vacuum and found no difference with results. The advantage to the portable one is just that it is portable. Hope this helps you with your decision.

Mine came with an adapter, but I found it more trouble than it's worth. It's just a tube that allows you to connect the vacuum hose to it. With the vacuum hose connected, I found it awkward to control the sander. The hose always seemed to catch on the edge of the piece I was sanding and wouldn't allow me to move it in the direction I wanted until I freed the hose again. I much prefer the filtered dust catcher setup. Yeah, it fills up rather quickly, but it pulls off and cleans out easily.

I was just sent an ad stating that there was a vacuum kit adapter which may help. I personally have not tried it but it might be worth a try for you. I think it is listed as intex vacuum tube adapter.
