Bluetooth Remote Suction Adjust

[onocoffee]

Festool:
I think it would be very helpful to add suction control to the Bluetooth remote. Many times I find myself wanting to see the current setting and make an adjustment. So I have to walk back to the MIDI, hit the button, see the scale, adjust the setting, turn it off, walk back to the tool and then get to work.

It would be very nice to hit the remote switch, see the LEDs from a distance, make an adjustment and then get to work.

Thank you.

Isn't this why some setups have a way to open up the hose at the tool connection? Cen-tec hose connections have a ring that you can easily rotate to cover or partially cover or completely open the hole to control suction, I'm sure other hoses have a similar manual control.

No the ring is just to annoy the user.

Tape is my fix for that.

The newer vacs are noisier and I'd rather slow it down than just rely on the ring.

Also the energy consumption stays high when just adding more leakage versus lowering the setting on the vac.
