TS55 to shop vac for job site

[redline9k]

I am trying to sort out all of the adapters to figure out what i need -

I have a TS55, but i havent gotten a Festool extractor (or hose) yet, so i would like to connect it directly to my shop vac when on job sites.

I guess that would be a female CleanTec to male 1 7/8 or 2 1/4 adapter....any ideas where to source that?

I use one of thesehttps://www.festoolusa.com/accessory/768135---dc-d-3627-as
and duct tape to attach my shop vacuum (Dyson vacuum cleaner) to my tools.

Regards
bob

Do yourself a BIG favor and order this:

You’ll thank me , and yourself , later.  It will allow you compatibility going forward with a variety of tools with vacuum hookups and it’s a good hose.  And not just those from festool. 

Sure , you can rig up a cheaper solution (not necessarily better) but if that’s all your concerned about you should return or sell on your TS55 and get a cheaper track saw - one that’s more fitting of a duct tape adapter on a stiff hose that’s too big.

This is also a good alternative though it lacks the interchangeable ends :
