I've set up my mft workstation with a systainer cart under the table. The cart has a top shelf where I keep my ts55, domino, sander, and jigsaw out and ready to use. They are all plugged into a power strip which is plugged into a ct 26.
I also have a dust deputy connected. The idea is that I can walk over, crosscut, join, sand etc. without having to pull out and connect tools. It's a workstation ready made for instant dust "less" use.
The problem is I ended up with a horrible concoction of 3 Festool "Y" fittings hanging off of the dust deputy that ends up looking like the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree (it's a little bit better if 1 of them goes straight into the ct26 with the dust deputy on 1 port and say a sander on the other).
Has anyone created a dust collection manifold for this type of use? Maybe one with gates to alleviate the loss of suction with several tools concurrently attached.
Would love to find a ready to buy solution - or at least photos of something that has been created before (possibly with auto open gates).
Thoughts?
