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

[Cannuck]

I just bought my first festool (Domino) in January, and got hooked - one of the key reasons being dust extraction.  I've since upgraded a number of tools to Festool (TS75, OF1400) as I just love the system.

Admittedly, I have a Porter-Cable Vacuum, with tool-switched operation.  I can't justify a CT extractor (yet), as the Porter-Cable seems to work well enough with the Festool tools, and frankly will suck the chrome off a tail-pipe.  Couple it with a Domino jointer, and you suddenly have

Having said that, I am now on a "dust extraction" mission for all of my tools.  I just bought the dust hood for my Bosch Colt routers,  and Bosch Jigsaws this week.  The Bosch colt router hood has a nice feature, similar to the OF1400 - a little chip catcher hood on the bottom, outside edge.

I've been using my vacuum with my Bosch 4410L SCMS and table saw for a year now, and a Bosch random-orbital sander with ok results.  I plan on building a "scoop" or "mud-flaps" for the back of my SCMS to enhance the dust collection.  Looking at pictures of the Kapex, it looks like that is one of the enhancements they have that must improve the collection.

I also have the Leigh dovetail jig with Vacuum Router Slide, which I am really pleased with.

Given that the Porter-Cable vacuum hose fits the Festool tools I have without an adapter, I figure anyone with a CT would have similar success with any of the tools I mentioned. 

Due to my immense satisfaction with the superior intelligence and dust-collection capabilities of the Festool tools, I have no doubt that within the next 12-18 months, a few more of their tools will find their way into my toolbox.  Less dust = happier wife!

Pleased to say that with the help of the Fein step adaptor, I have my Flowbee Hair Cutting system workin with my CT33.  I have to say,  I had to turn the speed all the way down as it was sucking the skin off my son's neck into the cutter head with the shortest hair spacer installed. http://www.flowbee.com/

The Multimaster dust extraction is a really clunky plastic after-thought, though; I tried mine once - then I threw it away Anyone know if the Supercut adapter above would fit a Multimaster? Looks like a much more workmanlike piece of kit.

I have an old Powershop radial arm saw that I hook up to my CT - not great,  but better than nothing - and an old Elu power planer (just won't die) that works well, and a Metabo sander - 6" random orbital with the dual orbit - that works really well.

Cheer, Pete.
