New-ish Cleantec Dust Port

[lucienlasocki]

I first saw the cleantec locking dust port on my Pro 5 sander. I recently added an ETS EC 125/3 sander to my collection and noticed it came with the new port.

Also, I just picked up a copy of the 2017 catalog and noticed some of the tools have the new port and some don't. Just curious, what Festool tools have the new port? Is it only 27mm?

I know very little about the new port, I did receive my Pro in the last couple of weeks but not have had a chance to break it out. Can the old hose connector still work with the new tool connection?  I certainly don't want to have to swap the end end of the hose each time as that totally defeats the value of the set up.

There is a thread around here somewhere  that lists the part number for the new connectors to convert a bunch of different tools to the new Cleantec connector. I thought I saved the link but cant find it right now. Tr searching for it, as it lists all the tools that have the new port available.

They are backwards and forward compatible.
Old hose connection works with old and new ports.
New hose connection works with old and new ports.

The new hose connector should have been included with the pro5,
unless they stopped doing that.  Any tool with a new dust port I've seen has come
with a free hose connector.  Not sure how long they'll be doing that.

Anyway, I'm not a fan of the locking hose.  However, the new ports seem to work even better (attachs and detaches quicker, and only when intended) with the old hose connector that I prefer, so, it works out just fine.

Good to hear, I am hoping to get into the shop this weekend to try it out.
