Cheese said:Steven Owen said:Here’s an idea for another video. It would be interesting to see a quick video of the MIDI interfaced with the new Festool cyclone. It would be interesting to see what accessories might be required to make the Festool Cyclone work with the Midi.
My guess would be a longer hose with a 90º end connection.

Don Ware said:I'm a Festool dealer. If Festool said CT Cyclone only works with CT 26/36/48. I can't make a video showing you how to do something Festool is telling you not to do. And if you do it and do it wrong and you break the ground between your CT and the CT Cyclone you could kill your Mini or Midi. And I don't want to be any part of that either.
A very reasonably priced triple tap solves the issue. Personally I see no advantage to buying that expensive extension cord, and I often have multiple tools plugged into my dust extractor. What I want is automatic blast gates.ben_r_ said:Man... So now with the Plug-It accessory its a $415 setup. Wow... Makes me glad I bought the Oneida back with it was $199.
Could also just weigh the bag and the container, then go to work and weigh them again after. Difference in weight can be figured as a percentage.tallgrass said:A simple test of how well it separates would be to fill the bucket up half way and weigh it. Vacuum the the contents of the bucket and weigh the bucket in the separator. the difference will give a good idea. I know you have vast amounts of saw dust in the accumulators you guys run at Anderson. I would expect it would do a very good job. Not trying to ruin your day Don.![]()
grainhaus said:Its a bummer the Midi/Mini are never included in the big accessory upgrades like this, very annoying. Why Sell something to limit it out of the gate from new accessories, no bluetooth, etc. All it needs to work on the midi is a little longer hose. Why say it isn't compatible unless theres another reason they aren't saying?

My guess of why Festool does not want it used on the MINI & MIDI is a weight issue. The MINI & MIDI have a much smaller footprint than the full CT 26, 36 & 48. The MINI & MIDI would not be very stable with 50+ lbs of drywall dust setting on top of them.
Michael Kellough said:I’ll add to the ‘Why not” speculation, how about putting the CT CYCLONE on top of a SysRoll dolly powered by a CT SYS on top. Don’t have firsthand knowledge of either CTs but I agree with Steven that a Mini/Midi ought to be functional with the CYCLONE.
