Dust Extraction from 2.5" port with CT-36

I'm looking for a way to hook up my CT to an existing router table with a shop-vac port.  If I can get the adapter to work out, willing to buy a 36mm hose.  Thanks.

50mm hose will work or even a standard shop vac hose will work. 36mm hose had a Festool tool end on one side of the hose so it will not work as with out a custom adapter.

Can you hook the standard shop vac hose straight to the CT36 without an adapter?  That would be great.

Yes. I have had no trouble hooking standard USA type shop vac hoses into a CT. Should fit right in.

Seth is right, here are some of the brands that I know will work, Craftsman, Ridgid, ShopVac.  I'm sure there are others.

It never even occurred to me, but I tried with my old shop-vac hose, same result.  Thanks.  Will make the router table much more useful.
