Can't afford a Festool boom arm, so I made one for the workshop. I can plug either of my extractors in (I've got a ct22 as well as the numatic one shown).
The hose is 2"dia water hose from a local fish aquarium shop - about ?2 a metre. The boom arm itself is the track from an old sliding door. I made a hinge bracket from some bits of scrap aluminium, and hung the hose off the runners with cable ties.
The bracket is screwed to one of the rafters (the thing above it is an old fluorescent light fitting waiting to go to the tip!)
There's just enough hose each end to reach the floor. The hose is so cheap I might get another longer piece to give me a bit more to play with, but as it is it reaches the floor and is long enough to cut up 8x4 sheets.
