The short coupling hose? It fits my midi with the VA on top - all be it snuggly.Don Ware said:The hose is not long enough to work on the Mini or the Midi.

Windsor Plywood Calgary West said:The Cyclone will work with the SYS, MIDI and MINI but Festool does not know if prolonged use could have negative effects on the smaller units.
infer said:Received the CT cyclone today. As others have posted it does reduce suction but that was expected. A few personal complaints. The short hose connecting the cyclone to the CT is 27mm and with two 90 bends reduces air flow. Why not a 50mm hose? The top part of the cyclone is not secure in it’s location and installing or removing the hose moves the outlet out of position. On a positive note the unit works well and after 1 hour of mdf vcarving only a few specs of mdf are in the bag. Also if you place the unit next to the CT it fits under the cms.

If you have a brand new bag I'd suggest swapping it in and see if that makes any odds. I noticed a similar drop in suckage when using the CT-SYS and a new bag all but eliminated it.Scorpion said:...Hand test shows significant reduction in suck (maybe 25-30%)...
It still matters, but not much. The cyclone might be a bottleneck, but loads are additive.bwehman said:Upon closer inspection, I don't think adding a larger diameter inlet hose will matter since the inlet to the cyclone itself is 27mm.
