So I broke down and bought a domino 500. I get it next week. I got the "emerald edition" (whatever that means).

I did not buy the dust extractor. I have a fein dust extractor I use with my orbital sander that works nicely. The auto-start with the fein is rated for 6 amps and if I did the math correctly the festool only draws about 3.5, so I am assuming that feature will work.

Does anyone know about the compatibility of the two hoses? Will I need some sort of adapter? The internets are offering no conclusive answer.
