Festool CTL SYS

It's interesting that no one from Festool has piped in yet. It must be true. Hopefully it will be released world wide at the same time.
keeping my fingers crossed.
 
This would be great if it had the option of battery power. The problem I see with the battery 55 saw is that in order to get good waste disposal is to connect a vacuum hose, and if you connect a vacuum hose then you may as well connect a power lead as you need mains power for the vacuum. If it were battery powered then it would make the waste extraction and all connected tools truly portable.
While I am on, why not make a systainer that accepts batteries and power the tools and vacuum from that?

Just a thought

That' got to be the most interesting release I've seen from Festool since the TSC 55 was released, hope it makes it to our shores.
 
I will verify that this a real product, it's not an April Fool's joke. It is the same size as standard Systainers. I'll admit that the photo with the guy going up the stairs makes it look out of proportion, but its a standard Systainer footprint.

I think it will be a great, small, portable dust extraction system for on-site work, particularly when paired with the Sys-Roll or SysCart.

No ETA for introduction in the US/Canada.

I don't have any other details to share right now.

OK Shane, now I believe it. 

April 1 is a very unfortunate date for Festool to pick as a product release.
 
This looks awesome.  The CT36 and CT Mini I currently have are probably already redundant for my casual hobby usage, but I'd still be  tempted to pick one up!
 
Thank you for translating Garry.  Does "Suction power thanks to integrated automatic on/off" mean tool-activated?

Great question mate. I never thought of that. Surely it's got to be. It'll be going back if it's not tool operated.
 
Yes, you can rest assured it has the tool-activation function.

I'm a bit concerned I haven't read anything about variable suction yet. It wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, but not having it sounds so Middle Ages. It has its usefulness sometimes.
 
I'm guessing that the green switch above the power switch with writing on probably says "On" and "Auto". Green things in Festool world are switches/adjustments, so I can't think of anything else it would be.
 
I am so getting one of these - should be fantastic for all those little 'running around' jobs where a bigger vac is overkill.
 
Great then.  Sorry if I missed it, but for my pre-order cabinet build (or one of Tim's MFTC's) to make room for this, is the height the same as a Sys-4 or a Sys-5? 

Sort of like building a crib after learning that my wife and I were expecting...  Now if she read this, I'd surely have to start building my own box. This is surely getting to be a sickness. I thought I was good for awhile, but now a whole new plateau.

One problem though, since it's coming out on Apr.1 somewhere, it's sure to have that price increase applied to it (ha, just had to throw that one in there).

    It is the height of a Sys - I (4" ) combined with a Sys - II (6"). About 10" tall when connected. So it is 2" shorter than a Sys - IV. I am guessing from the pictures that the top and bottom unit need to be connected in order to use the vac.

Idk this one isn't doing it for me. The Midi is plenty small enough for me.

When i purchased all my Milwakee tools i got their small toolbox sized vacuum. Why i don't know. I guess like many looking at this new offering it looked convenient and like something i would use. I  never use it being my Midi and or a shop vac are always on sight as i heed actual dust collection and something capable of a real cleanup at days end. End up being dust another tool to carry in that probably is not going to get used.

I suppose i can see people buying this. For me i would rather purchase another actual tool or lumber to build something with.

 
Wow, I need one of those  [eek] So now we have to beg them for a sys-5 dust cyclone as well?

And after looking at the design I'm also considering changing my other systainer lids. Do anyone know if black lids are available from festool? [embarassed]
