Small vacuum dedicated to Kapex

[suds]

I'm thinking of dedicating a small vacuum to my Kapex.  Wondered if anyone had done this and how small can I go.  I have a extra Dust Deputy that will work so I was thinking of the real small Rigid Vacuum.

A lot of us Festool users go with the CT MIDI especially if it is used with the UG stand as the MIDI will fit quite comfortably underneath the KAPEX/UG setup. I like it because I do not have to worry about switching the hose between using the different tools the are used.[attachimg=#1]
Here is a picture of my setup.
I also opted for the extension wings.

I tried a small (it hangs on the wall) shop vac.  It sorta worked, but when I hooked up a CT22 it was much better.

If you go with a non-Festool vac, get a plug adapter that will automatically turn the vac on/off as the saw is used.  Lee Valley, Rockler, etc sell them.

I have had several vacs including the small "toolbox" rigid, the rigid is ridiculously loud, I replaced it with a midi which is a pleasure to use.

I have the MIDI hooked up full time to the Kapex using the larger hose. It fits well under the Festool Kapex stand.

Works great!
