Remote controlled CTM26 and home made carrier

[omega7]

This is an électronical modification but with no modification of the inside électronic to keep the original festool warranty  [wink]

Just unplugged my electronic module inside the CTM 26 and you get it in original condition  [smile]

In direct position (Switch on I) the tool remote control plug is working fine.

In radio remote control position (Switch on II) the plug is working but only like a normal plug (permanently on power)

I also built a home made carrier with copper plumbing tube and green paint  [wink]

What do you think about this improvement...

So, except for the lights, what exactly is the benefit of this modification? How do you control it remotely and is it worth it?

Why I modify this CTM26:
I'm using two 4m hoses (8m on total lenght) and I thinks its useful to turn on and off the CTM26 where I'm working. For exemple when I'm cleanning something on a ladder, it's not necessary to go down to turn off the CTM. I just using the remote control on my belt [wink]

Very cool!

I'm trying to do the same thing.

What connections did you make inside?
