Festool wcr tool holder aluminium type question

[Tobiasz]

Hi there internet people. I was thinking about adding that wcr to my dust extractor, but price is to big for me, so i thought about buying only the base part, and rest build out of aluminium extrusion (i dont need that regulation of height there) Can any of you provide info about aluminium extrusion size and profile shape used there? So i could take a look at what could fit inside plastic base. Hope that make sense thanks

Hi [member=78383]Tobiasz[/member]

Outer dimensions of the extrusion is 58,10 x 43,50mm (Edit: The columns have an curve both inside/outside of the widest side, the measures given is at the outermost of the curve)
Beware of that the receptor hole in the base is made to fit the original extrusion (It’s an inverted cross profile)
So I would advise to get the base first and then look at extrusions.. Or you could make a profile out of plywood strips glued together.
There’s 4 mounting holes in the base that secures the column with screws.
