CMS GE mystery part

[Steve Bagi]

In setting up my new CMS router table I ended up with a part that I have no clue where it goes or what it does. I checked both the Festool manual and Rick's manual. Both have no mention of the part. I'm fairly sure it came in the box with the dust hoses. Any ideas?  ???

it looks like the v shaped parts clip onto the extrusion around the top
the circluar part is for your hose presumably

 

[mouppe]

Yes, correct.

It attaches to the side extrusion and holds the vac hose in place. The way I use the hoses are as follows. The 36mm hose is attached to my boom arm and goes to the fence above the table. The 27mm hose is attached below the table to the router. Both hoses meet at the Y-splitter which is plugged into the 50mm short hose attached to the boom arm.

Thanks guys!  [big grin]

Well that's a bummer. I specifically mentioned that in the unpublished video that I never got around to finishing [tongue], but then forgot to mention it in the manual that did get finished. Oops. I knew it would cause confusion. That's why I intended to point it out.

In case you're curious, when Festool asked me to do the video, they weren't planning a duplicate video, just a marketing video. By the time I had most of it shot, we realized that both videos were almost identical except mine has dialog and goes a little deeper. So I temporarily shelved it.

Come on Ron - its about time that you caught on - most of us would not give this a second thought - just watch the replies from those that know - do you think that anyone else knows about our secret? If you can't get through this test then UK immigration might not let you in!

This will be my SECOND TIME in the UK. I really enjoyed the first TIME. This TIME I will WATCH things a bit more intently.  I plan on spending HOURS touring. I will try my HAND driving there this TIME.
I have to go to Porta Bella Rd and see if the pirates got  festool WATCH for sale.

Does anyone know the part number for this support clip? I already had enough hoses and the y connector so didn't buy the hose set as such for my CMS. I can see value in using it and would like to get it.
