Bosch GCM 8 SJL Dust Connector

[Windows]

For future searchers for this information:

The Bosch GCM 8 SJL dust extractor port looks like this:



This is directly pluggable with a Cen-Tec Quick Click hose end that looks like this:



No adapter for the tool end is necessary.

Here you can see the hose connected to the mitre saw.



The specific hose in this example is from a Nilfisk Buddy, but it’s just a standard shop vac hose with the Cen-Tec Quick Click part screwed on to it. (I cut the Nilfisk attachment off the hose).

If you have a Cen-Tec Quick Click hose that you want to add to your Festool TSC 55, you can use one of the standard attachments, but it’s a bit large without customisation. Instead, get one of those universal dust collector adaptors and cut out the 2nd largest ring:

Remove the rubber from the Quick Click adapter and jam the ring on to the plastic bit:

Then jam the whole thing into the Festool attachment:

It looks large in the photo, but it’s considerably smaller than the standard Cen-Tec adapter that fits the saw.

Don't hold your breath waiting for a reply! It's a very old thread and also Windows hasn't been seen on the forum for a very long time.

If you are asking about the adapter in the first image of the second post, they are available through Amazon. Here is a random link for one offer of three adapters for £6.49 plus shipping.
