Is the hose compatible with makita track saw? Would be shocked if not but you never know. Am considering both. Thanks.

Yes, the hose is compatible with the saw. I have both. You'll need an adapter for just about everything else.

Yes, very. As other reviews have noted, the exhaust port swivels a little too freely. Also, the hose is heavy and the corrugations like to catch on things. When I have a lot of cutting I rig an overhead boom to free my hands from the hose. Have used Festool track saw in past too, this equates very well. Lastly, buy a pair of Dewalt clamps for the track.

HI, Festool has engineered all of their tools to accept one size hose (the hose goes over the dustport on small tools and inside the dustport on the larger tools). I checked and the dust port on the Makita is much smaller. Dennis Big Tool Store

First I do not have your saw but I feel it should work. The tracks are very similar. My gauge worked great to tune up my Saw Stop. Best of luck.

It's a standard hose thread, I've used it on a number of different attachments and connectors. I don't know that one specifically, but if it's standard hose thread, you're fine.

Yes it is compatible with all shop vac brands. The hose in this kit is very cheaply made it tore up on me after the first time I used it. I had to go to lowes and buy the actual shop vac brand hose and spend another $25. The atachments are the only thing that are worth the money.

I don't use the Makita as a primary tool. It is a circle saw that I bought for installing concrete board siding. I can say that the fitting does stay tight and has not loosened over the past 12 to 18 months.

I wish I had more information with your question. I imagine you could connect any sort of wand to the end of the hose provided the wand iis the right diameter. If your intent is to attach a carpet rake to the end of the wand, I do not see why this would not work. It all boild down to whether you can get the wand to mate with the end of the hose. Now, all that said, I can't imagine this vacuum being all that ergonomic used in this configuration. I hope that helps.

There are several 'standard' hose connectors. I'm not sure if this comes with the standard compressor connector like those compressor hoses purchased at Lowes or Home Depot. BUT.. it is an Inside dia. threaded grip. And the proper attachment (if it is not present... since I don;t remember) can be purchased at HD or Lowes for under 5$ in any case and threaded into the grip handle. Hope that helps.

This hose does not attach to the current hose on the vac. You have to remove the shorter hose and then attach the longer one. It is a heavier hose and noticeably so when doing regular floor vacuuming. So you'll probably only want to attach it when you need a longer reach. Hope this helps.

Don't know, but these have pretty standard fittings and all work on the same principle, so, at worst, it could likely be adapted. But best to go to Makita site and find the direct replacement part.

Sorry, Ido not know the answer to this. I would suggest the person contact Makita directly through their web site.

I can't speak for the DeWalt track, but this definitely does not work with the Festool track. If you have any doubts about this do a search on YouTube for the Wood whisperer, and his review of the Grizzly track saw ( identical to the shop Fox except for color), and he specifically shows the incompatibility of the saw and track.

It would work fine after some adaptation. You would want to replace the hose that comes on the unit with one that you can put an interchangeable quick disconnect. After that you can use a "blow gun" adapter. I fill mine to around 135 lbs and you would be able to do a couple units at a time...about a minute of non-stop blowing at highest pressure. I fill mine with a Makita MAC5200-Big-Bore-Compressor. Fill 'er up to about 135LBS and you're good to go!

You can use this saw without the track, however keep in mind that this saw is only a 6 1/2" saw and doesn't have the depth of cut of a full 7 1/4" saw. The real beauty of this saw is the very clean and straight cuts you get from using as a track saw. I recommend you use the track whenever possible.

No, it has a standard 5/16 x 24 thread the your makita uses a metric M8-1.25 thread.

My experience with attachments for any tool, they almost never connect 100% correctly or not at all. My advice, spend the money and take the time to purchase the attachment designed for the tool. In the long run you will get longer life and spend less money. Cheers

Here is the list of compatible routers from the owner's manual - it would have been nice to have this when I was shopping: Bosch Models 1613 series, 1617 series (fixed base only), 1619EVS; Craftsman listed as "most Craftsman 1/2" collet routers"; DeWalt DW616, DW618 (Fixed base only); Hitachi M12VC; Makita RF1100, RF1101; Milwaukee 5615, 5616; Porter Cable 690 Series, 7529 plunge router and 892-895 series (fixed base only); Ryobi R161, R162, RE170, RE180 PL; Skil 1810, 1815, 1820, 1825. I used this table with my Craftsman and tried to use it with the Makita RF1101. The problem there lay with the Makita design, however, not this table. The router mounted beautifully to the table and bit replacement and cutting depth was a dream from the top, but the motor base would not stay locked in place in an undermount setup due to Makita's deficient lock lever design. (If you're curious about the particulars, please see my review of the Makita RF1101). This was a crying shame IMO, since the Makita is supposed to be a real workhorse, unlike my burned out Craftsman. I have now been using it with the Milwaukee 5616 for the past 3 years and it works satisfactorily.
