I bought this to replace my D26453 grinder and figured it would fit my 1-1/4 dust extraction hose as did the D26453. Why would DeWalt design a grinder that wouldn't work with a standard sized hose? I am ashamed that I do not understand what gives them the opportunity to get more money. DeWalt used to be synonymous with value and I didn't mind paying a little more for something made in North America. I think I'll have to look for another brand. Too bad I must have 30 DeWalt tools. I've heard that Milwaukee wirelessly cleans their watches - I think I'll start with that.
