Auto Triggering (older Ct22) Vacuum with TS55 KEB?

[Hotwheels]

It isn't clear to me if there is some auto vacuum triggering mechanism when using the Ts55 KEB battery operated saw. Also, my vacs are CT22's so I am assuming these might not be compatible with any current type of auto triggering with newer tools?  So, is there some way to auto trigger the Ct22 when using the TS55 KEB?

The CT22 is not Bluetooth compatible. So you will have to manually turn on the CT.

Ya [member=2912]Don T[/member] nailed it, however a number of years ago [member=945]Rick Christopherson[/member] offered a Maxsys remote control kit that was designed for the CT 22/33 vacuums. If you can find one of those that's still available it works well. Just a touch of the remote and the CT 22 will cycle on for however long you need it.

Now, it'd be really nice if the current Festool switches were able to activate the Maxsys system.  [smile]

I found the old thread about Rick's module and it looks as if it he might still have some. I'm going to contact him and see if there is an option there.  Thanks
