A new hose connector has appeared on the Rutland site, and as they looked just like the sort of thing I've been looking for recently I couldn't resist. They arrived yesterday and I had a chance to fit them and give them a go.
I also bought a rubber cuff connector so that I could mount the magnetic connector to my Camvac. I then connected one of the machine connectors to the hose to my bandsaw.
The two connected together simply and easily.
I then connected another machine connector to the 100-32 reduction hose I use to connect to most of my other devices (often via a Dust Commander cyclone unit).
And again that connected simply and easily.
All seems to work a treat. I think these units are cheaper than other similar units that I've seen because they only have magnets on one side of the connection. The other side just has a steel ring. That's simpler and easier to implement.
I now have a much simpler way of switching between dust hoses. I'm really pleased.
