As im progressing on building my new workshop Im now installing my central woodworking station.
This is a hydraulic operated height adjusted work station that in lowest position is concealed in the floor. (this of topic, just so proud of my inspector gadget table [bite tongue] [embarassed])

For the central station i wanted to install an overhead vacuum hose on a rotating boom.
The hose has to be 10meters long, so on my search for hoses I found these diameters(mm):

28ID/34OD  32ID/38OD  38ID/45OD

Now i was wondering which Festool tool and vac side connections would fit to this hoses.

My countless hours of google search on this subject left me with more questions than answers.
I hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks,

MVH

Hi,

  Welcome to the forum!  [smile]

        Are those diameters from other hoses? The ones that will work with the arm?  From some Festool info? 

        I don't know what the arm set up is like but I think it would be easiest to use a Festool hose if possible

    Also, I would love to see a topic on your hydraulic table!

Yes, those are hose diameters from other hoses.
The connectors i would like to buy from Festool, so that they are a perfect fit with the CTL and my tools.
The boom will be an aluminium pipe where te hose is fed trough, the pipe wil be welded to a swivel hinge on the ceiling.

I will start an other topic on my hydraulic work station [embarassed]

Question: When using an aluminium pipe and you can weld that... why feed a hose through it in the first place instead of simply connecting two shorter ones to both ends?
 
Ok so, I measured my D27/32 hose and found that the 32 side of the hose has 32MM ID // 39MM OD
and the 27 side of the hose is 27MM ID // 34mm OD.
So for the smaller size hoses i found i can use the festool connectors (except for 32mm hose Festool is not making tool adaptors).
If someone would be so kind to measure the OD of there D36 hose? then I think my question is solved.

[member=53905]Gregor[/member] [member=3192]rvieceli[/member] the boom will only be 1.5M long (+-5ft) and only has a turning angle of 180° so I think the extra connections for this shorter length will bring more problems then just feeding some extra hose trough.
But your idea made me start thinking again, and maybe if I reposition the boom and use some swivel connections to attach the hose to the aluminium pipe i can use the boom for a turning angle of 360° (you never know when it will come in handy)
For that idea i will have to check that my light fixtures aren't gonna get destroyed by the boom  [big grin]
 
Regarding extra connections: a sealed ball bearing is airtight enough to not reduce suction through bleeding in air, one like this one (
 
Great idea Gregor the block solution is much easier then the way i was thinking.
And the 50mm hose is probably best, worth investigating which couplings are needed.
thx for the ideas and comments.

Festool 50mm hoses have identical connectors on both ends, to connect these to themselves you can use #493047 (D50/D50 VM-AS) - or a block of wood and a quick treatment with a fostner (plus two 1€ antistatic arm straps to connect the two sleeves joined in the block).
