Wall mount for TS60?
- Thread starter boasist
- Start date
Fastcap makes one for $25.00. Most of Fastcap’s stuff seems to work OK. But that is for the track, not the saw. I have not seen anything for hanging the saw.

Why on earth would anyone want to hang a TS60 on a wall?

I am absolutely terrified of wall mounting something like that, not that the mount would fail, but that I (or someone else) would bump into it and knock it off.
"Safe in the Systainer" for mine.....everything. None of my power tools are "out".
I put everything away at the end of the shift, every day. The only things I leave accessible are a few small hand tools like squares, levels, a magnetic strip of hex keys, and a hammer or two.
Ah, well, the miter saw is out too, but it is screwed down and I try to remember to take the batteries out over the weekend.
I had to attach a Dymo label near the keyhole of my toolbox, to remind myself to turn the laser off every night. It's just not a thing I am used to yet. I have never had one, in the first place, with an AC powered unit I wouldn't really care. That overnight draw on DC power can't be the best idea.
When I get my stuff all home to my own shop, I might change a few things, to make them more accessible, since I will have walls. I don't see leaving the Festool equipment out of the Systainers though, I'm just so used to working that way.
For me, the big expense of adding a longer hose and Plug-it cable might be a thing? I don't know if it would be worth it? I'm so used to a CT on each end of a 10' bench and a 4" dust port for the bigger tools.
My home shop plan is to have power, air, and dust collection coming up from the under the floor and into a leg on the bench. I will have access to all of those on somewhat of an "island", no clutter on the floor.
I suppose I could run one of the CTs from outside the bench and use a boom arm? I guess that depends on the CT VA-20. I'm still debating getting one of those.
If I could get it on the 30 days no questions asked refund, I would do it in a second, but those don't work that way.
Sorry for the ramble, still working it out in my head. Spring is coming and time for action is upon me.

So you don’t have to take out of the Systainer each time you use it.
I read that different people organize in different ways. Some like to put things away after each use, others (like me) likes things on the wall where I have a visual on it each time I walk by.
I have a lot of different screw drivers. I could put them in a dedicated screw driver drawer, but instead I made a wall rack with holes that can accommodate all the screw drivers. I can instantly see the shape and color of the handles and the tip configuration. On the other hand, my track saw goes in the Systainer.

I'm in the same camp as [member=58857]Crazyraceguy[/member] in that I like storing larger tools in their Systainer, but if I were to wall mount, I'd probably do something like this French cleat holder.
I've never seen a store-bought holder. Not much on Etsy either.

[member=75283]4nthony[/member] That's a fantastically useful saw wall mount! Very clever!
This appears to be the fabrication instructions for making the holder that Anthony found. If you decide to make it, this should prove helpful.0

Sounds good, think I'll make it! I'll then need to buy the TS60K for it of course! ;-)

Great stuff everyone, thank you.
The TS60 actually has three of those little slots he mentions in that video. I had the same idea to make some hooks for those and that'd be that.
For me, I don't store anything in the systainer, I have a tool wall by my bench and everything I need is within arms reach, as opposed to removing it from a box each time.
I'm going to go forward with the mount on the hooks I'd say. Will report back with the files.

I could see doing something like this for my Makita metal cutting circular saw. It doesn't have an ideal storage space now and I'm somewhat running out of space. (easy space anyway) I have lots of physical space, but no more cabinets or shelves. I'm trying to concentrate my efforts on the home shop, rather than building more that I will have to either move or leave for the next guy.
All set, a few prototypes later I've got it set for the TS60. I referenced the three slots in the bottom plate, and then rest and catch the lower lip to prevent any rocking. Works great, I'm happy
If you have access to a 3D printer, enjoy the file at the link below.
I printed mine in PLA-CF good and solid with a super smooth finish, I'm here for any questions.
I also made mounts this week for my delta, domino, and 125 and 150 sanders. Which are available on my profile in the link below.
One of the prototype shots below here as I dialed in the fitment.
