CT Midi and the CMS Router table "Y" hose.

[iamnothim]

The "Y" hose from the CMS Router router table does not fit into the top rear corner input port on the CT-Midi.

Is there a Festool adapter that will fix this?  I can use an old hose from a Rigid Vac but that's a kludge and I want to get rid of the hose.

Thanks

You need Festool 499196 AD-D36/CS50/CS70/CMS Adapter Hose

If the 'Y' is the same as the regular Festool 'Y' 452898 I was able to fit it wedged in at a slight angle. Not sure if it was sealed well enough though. But I think a simple extension made with a  connecting sleeve 493047 and short piece of tubing would make an easy and non- "kludgy" connection.

499196 does not show up in a FestoolUSA search.
Perhaps it's a UK part

Pretty good idea (493047) Seth.  I think I'd need at least 2 to clear the top of the Midi.  Perhaps I should just get a Home Depot Rigid vac wand section and use it as a smokestack.
The idea of going to a box store to make my Festool work bugs me.

The smoke stack idea would work but maybe kind of tall with a bunch of leverage.  It think one connector would be enough. I only needed about another inch to be able to put the 'Y' straight in.  I also had it so that one leg of the 'Y' was in the curved cutout shape at the back of the hose garage.

Hello all. I am having the same problem. I cannot connect the "Y" hose part of my CS70 to my CT Midi vacuum.

I see the solution here on the page. I live in Athens, Greece. I have no idea where to get a chunk of rigid tubing. I could order it from another country but i would need to know the specific part number. If any can please help with that, I would be very appreciative. It would  [eek] to order a part, pay for shipping, receive it weeks later and it be the wrong part.

Or if there is another solution that would better fit my situation, please let me know. thanks

Hi,

   I am pretty sure that the "rigid" tubing in the post above is the brand Rigid which is Home Depot's brand. But You could use any brand of  shop vac hose / tuning that will do the job. So maybe that is something you could get in Greece?

Michael, Garry gave the right answer in the 2nd post of this thread:

If you're ordering it from abroad, I can recommend the German company Gerschwitz, very big and good Festool dealer, great service, well stocked and cheaper than the rest. Link to 499196

Hi

If you need a "quick fix" take off the hose garage on your MIDI. Lift the top off, turn it upside down, undo the four torx screws, remove the garage.  [smile]
