What non-Festool items have you got to work with your CT?

Only thing I've found to attach to hose is my Porter Cable (model 333) sander

Would like to attach my Dyson turbo-brush to it but looks like I need a male to male adapter.  Was wondering if anyone has any ideas how to do this.  My Dyson came with tons of accessories, be nice to put them to good use.

Post any other uses you've found that are non-Festool related.

Here's a review of using a Makita belt sander with the CT:http://www.burrellcustomcarpentry.com/subpage36.html.  You need a Fein hose adaptor (see second page of the review).

I use my Festool shop vac with both my Triton router (in a home-made table and cabinet) and with my Kreg pocket hole jig (using a home-made chip trap).

Frank,  I'd like to see a picture of your Kreg jig adapter.

The Festool vac hose fits several Porter Cable tools, not just the sander.

Which ones?

The dust shroud shown here (hanging off to the right) is made by Bosch to fit the 1613 router.  D27 hose fits nicely in it.

Works fine on a DeWalt biscuit joiner here.

And, yes, even with the Domino there are reasons I still use biscuits for some things.

I use mine with my Porter Cable Saw Boss, my big Dewalt router, my Dewalt 12" chop saw and especially my Ridgid 6" sander. None of these tools require an adaptor. I can also just squeeze it onto my Makita belt sander (It's a different model than Brice's.

OK, here is a picture:

I run a triton 3 1/4 HP router table with Incra Positioner.  The ct 22 has a y blanking piece which runs a d27 hose to the routers already awesome dust extraction housing and the d36 or 50(not sure but its the big daddy) runs to the end of the Incra Positioner fence.  Works like a champ.  I use it for Kreg Pocket hole machine with adapter and d27 hose.  I use it with Dewalt miter saw as I feel its better then the bag.  Dust Deputy or clearview cyclone is high atop my wish list.

Plugs right in to the Dewalt CMS and SCMS series saws (like it was made for it and actually has decent dust collection).

Which ones?

Porter Cable biscuit joiner for sure, in addition to the 5" ROS.  The outside diemeter of the PC dust port is the same size as the inside diameter of the Festool hose that comes with the vac.

This is only a guess, but Festool's 36 mm hose may fit directly over that Dyson nipple.  Do you have any other Festools besides the vacuum with 27 mm hose?  The tool end fitting of Festool's 36 mm hose is elastomeric and fits OVER the dust collection outlet of Festool's TS 55 saw so if you can determine that your Dyson turbo brush and the TS 55 outlets are the same OD size, you will know.  Can you take your Dyson brush to a Festool dealer or someone whi has a Festool 36 mm hose?  The Fein adapter mentioned by others is also an excellent solution.

Freud JS102 biscuit cutter
Leigh dust extraction attachment for routers
Bosch 1274 3"x21" belt sander

All with the 27mm hose that came with my CT22. The Bosch belt sander required a little build up of the very small port to hold onto the rubber end of the hose. The other two were a slip fit with no adaptation required. I have not tried the hose with my Dewalt DW618 plunge base, but I suspect it would work fine there. (I pretty much have that base dedicated to shelf hole drilling and there is minimal waste anyway--I use my OF1010 and OF1400 routers for edge work with the CT)

Hi,

      Here are my non Festools tool s that I hook to the CT.  Kreg K3 bench set up . PC bisquit joiner, and DeWalt Planar.  The fit on the planar is not real good I just squish it in.  The drop down fitting on the Kreg keeps the hose lower and out of the way when swapping pieces and working the flip stops.
