How to attach Festool CT to Kreg Benchtop Router Table?

[Slider613]

Just picked up the Kreg Router table (Using a Triton Router), I also recently got a Festool CT, as an upgrade to my old Rigid shop vac.

Is there an adapter that I can by to attach the CT to the Kreg Benchtop Router table dust collection?

I would prefer something that is easy for my to remove the Festool CT from, because I use it on a few other festool items.

It's probably a 2" port, time to break out the roller sleeve photos again [big grin]

interesting, is that just a regular paint roller?

Not a bad solution, not as ellegant as I was hoping for, is there no commercially available simple plastic or rubber adapter?

Yep, just a plan old roller sleeve. Discovered it worked on the table saw one day when out in the field.

I've never looked for any other solution.

The official Festool way would be to use the 50mm hose, and an adaptor sleeve if necessary. With the 50mm hose from your vac to the table you will end up with great dust collection. I recognize it is an expensive accessory however if you have a boom arm set, it comes with it. Or if you have a portable table saw it will most likely fit for that too, so more justifiable.  452888 is the Festool catalog number and the sleeve if necessary is: 493047. I am sure with 2.5" hose and some other adaptors you can rig up something decent too.
