Clean Up With These !!!

[@jodys9307]

Hey Sedge, Loved this one. This will be so helpful in my little shop where I've been struggling with dust collection. Can't wait to implement these ideas. Keep 'em coming! 🙏

[@sedgetool]

cool...glad to help !!

[@joebeaton1101]

Good Morning Sedge > Happy Sunday!!

[@sedgetool]

Morning!

[@boomvader]

Sedge, thanks for the call out on the live show this week! All good for us, but will take time for parts of the area to rebuild. Grab the other green splinters and come to Asheville! Beers on me! We can even go harass Paolini! -Richie

[@sedgetool]

Sounds great Richie, I'll be sure to bring the splinters!

[@AkronCraftRealtor]

Good way to start a Sunday thabks Sedge!

[@sedgetool]

Have a great Sunday!

[@kruhrupenstein]

Hi Sedge what is the part number of the 50mm anti static hose upgrade?

[@tc9148]

Excellent. I have cobbled together something similar using a WAP commercial vacuum, a dust separator and Rockler dust fittings making my own cart with casters. Works so well.

[@sedgetool]

Sounds like a great setup!

[@davidhull2060]

Very nice set up. I like the way it follows you around the shop like a faithful dog🤣. All that's really missing is the boom arm attachment, although that would make it much less mobile.

[@sedgetool]

Thanks David !!!

[@coolbugfacts1234]

I love the metal floor sweep attachment in the 577259 cleaning set, it has little wheels that let you adjust the bristle height so it works on concrete or even carpet, it works great for carpeted stairs. Also I wish they would make a shorter D36 hose, specifically for the Kapex. Most of the time the extractor is right under the saw anyways, so a shorter hose is neater, has better airflow and costs less

[@sedgetool]

I agree, it's a great tool.

[@ronboe6325]

The Cyclone was on my wish list; but the Workcenter Organizer was not even on my radar! I'm going to have to buy one of them to keep the wish list from growing...... :^P

[@sedgetool]

I hear you...hard to stop the list from growing!!!

[@coreydavoll7622]

Great info!

[@sedgetool]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Woods-BC]

Sedge this was a good one

[@sedgetool]

Thanks !!!

[@stephenwallbank9090]

Hey Sedge I keep all the various nozzles and brushes inside my cyclone and just leave the floor sweep permanently attached to the vac handle/tube leaning in a convenient corner. That way I don't need a systainer. My set came loose with my CT36 AC

[@sedgetool]

That's a great way to save space!

[@GrahamWhelan]

Another great video, thanks Sedge! I have a newer model ct midi and a ct-va20 and this pairing works great for me. I am interested in checking out the improvements in the 50mm short hose, thanks for the tip, I have to admit though my set up is no slouch as it is. As with all my Festool tools, not one day did I ever regret buying either of these…and you can’t say that about many tools.

[@sedgetool]

Great to hear!

[@w2ttsy670]

Interestingly we get the 50mm stubby hose as part of the cyclone kit here in Australia. Even has a right angle connector on one end to make it easier to hook into the vac. One question though, how do you install the waste bags into the cyclone so that it doesn’t cripple your extraction efficiency? When I go bag less it is high performance. When I put a bag in I get a lot of pressure drop. Bagless is fine for work with big chips like the planer or saws, but not so great for dusty work like track saws and sanding.

[@sedgetool]

i do not use the liner bag

[@Vancleave79]

If you need a 36mm hose, the cleaning kit is a no brainer. Free Systainer!

[@sedgetool]

Yep, it’s a winner

[@mattmartin9755]

Great video Sedge! Does the work center work with the newer midi? Keep up the great content!

[@sedgetool]

Yes it does!

[@LeoDodier]

Thank you, thank you thank you! I’ve been waiting for this to come out. I am trying to put mine together and was wondering how you did yours. I also need to hook up my Dewalt planer so I’ll be ordering everything I need to do it. Just to confirm, I have the CT Midi II. Will that work with everything you’ve shown?

[@sedgetool]

The CT Midi I will not work well with the 50mm hose...sorry......will not be able to fit on top

[@billmellon3517]

Thanks Sedge for the great review and your upgrades. I have the separator for my cleantec 48 and as you said it comes with the 27mm hose. I would like to upgrade to the 50 mm hose; my question is how difficult is it to remove the fitting that attaches to the hose that attaches to the separator and cut the hose to length and re-thread? The hose is expensive ($169) and I don’t want to screw it up. Thanks, Bill Mellon

[@sedgetool]

wicked easy !!!

[@geraldlalonde5992]

Festool should put the same plug with the quarter turn on each end so that it does not come out of the dust collector

[@sedgetool]

ok

[@nateknyfd5405]

Love the video! I have been gradually upgrading my CT dust extractor to be the exact same thing- my shop cart for efficiency. Do you have the link for the additional hooks? You said in the video you would put the links in the description and I would love to check it out!

[@sedgetool]

Glad it was helpful! here is the link www.zoro.com/zoro-select-pegboard-hook-assortment-kit-63-pc-5tpp1/i/G1499461/

[@bartholomewgreatpants3425]

I wouldve liked to see how good the setup works with that planer.

[@brianroberts4539]

This is an excellent setup, I have the same one but not your custom tray holder, guess I know what I’m doing today! Maybe I’m missing the link but where can I get the other hooks you show?

[@sedgetool]

here is where I got them 10 years ago .... www.zoro.com/zoro-select-pegboard-hook-assortment-kit-46-pc-5tpp0/i/G0754747/

[@gogomarago]

Nomaaaaaar!!! Nice shirt Sedge. Would you recommend using the ct cyclone only for a MIDI dust extractor or do you only recommend with the larger dust extractor? Thanks!

[@sedgetool]

I use it on the 26 and up...but if you have one of the newer midis it will work on top...Older midis I have used it but put it on the side..I hope this makes sense.....

[@GrahamWhelan]

Only speaking for myself but I use the CT midi (edit: newer model)with a CT-VA-20 here. Works great for me and everything connected up perfectly out of the box but definitely curious about upgrading the short hose to 50mm.

[@Toolguydk]

Great video, doesn’t the workstation come with a shelf in the US? 💚

[@sedgetool]

yes it does !!! i just do not utilize it !!!

[@pctatc66]

does the ct cyclone work with an overarm dust boom on top of a ct48?

[@sedgetool]

yes

[@Kevin-t5x7i]

Hey sedge I like my festool cyclone because it plays well with the other accessories but I think it’s time for festool to revamp their cyclone it is just to restrictive on air flow I have a another ct with another cyclone I get far more air flow and better separation hope you can put a bug in festools ear that it’s time for a new design keep up the good work thnx 👋

[@sedgetool]

ok

[@Kevin-t5x7i]

@ 👍🥳

[@charlesgoff6429]

Does the workstation work on the ct midi?

[@bartholomewgreatpants3425]

Unfortunately it does not.

[@sedgetool]

newer Midi yes ...older midi no...but it can work beside it !!

[@mehulpgajjar4901]

Hi dear sedge

[@sedgetool]

Hi!

[@AaronGeller]

Good morning Sedge! Another great video, but I was curious about how you swapped out the provided hose with the 50mm hose for the cyclone. Did you do anything to the cyclone itself because where the hose attaches, it becomes significantly more narrow?

[@sedgetool]

I didn't....it was plug and play and works great !!!

[@MattLitkeRacing]

I recently broke the hose garage on my CT26 ☹️

[@sedgetool]

whooops !!

[@cyppe]

Hey sedge - does your setup keep the earth intact for the anti static to work? Have issue with other cyclones where its hard to get contact through all connection points and some festool machines will zap you pretty good :)

[@sedgetool]

Yes it does

[@davecable3104]

Not understanding why clamps on a vac center

[@sedgetool]

close at hand when i need them

[@davecable3104]

@ can’t say I ever needed clamps nearby whilst vacuuming

[@BuckRogers2491]

@@davecable3104 Sanding, Domino, routing, miter saw. There's all kinds of tools you'll use dust extraction on and need to clamp down material. Putting it on the workcenter gets it off your work surface, which equals less clutter. Less clutter means you're not moving crap around to...work.

[@MrSO625]

Great setup but you’re missing one more addition. Added a boom arm to the set up your showing. It’s been fantastic to have all of this in one small footprint.

[@sedgetool]

Cool, thanks

[@RobyWanKenobi]

Will the boom arm work with this set up?

[@MrSO625]

@@RobyWanKenobi Yes have it set up for about 3 years now and it’s really efficient. I have an older ct model so the work center doesn’t clip into all the fasteners. It will block using one side of the tower by the boom but you can still hang things on it. It’s very important to keep the boom arm legs down so it doesn’t tip over. Not saying this ever happened to me LOL.

[@murphyrp01]

Pity Festool sells the CT Cyclone here in Australia for $685. Such a rip off for some bits of plastic

[@sedgetool]

ok

[@geraldlalonde5992]

That does not fit on the large dust collector.

[@sedgetool]

yes it does

[@BuckRogers2491]

The WCR-1000 on a CT 48? Yep, it sure does. I have that combo.

[@Abrewdog]

The price of that separator at $449. 🤮

[@sedgetool]

wow......

[@Abrewdog]

@@sedgetool love the Festool line a ton. The quality is great but emptying a long life bag more often seems more cost efficient for use with a track saw, sander, my Lamello or Domino. I do not fear paying a good price on a tool that will pay me back in time saved. It’s just difficult to see how I’ll save in time. I would need to dump it over 800 times to just to save a minute at that price point. Talk to you people. lol a glorified dust holder shouldn’t be in that cost range at all. But this is all my opinion.

[@Mike--K]

@@Abrewdog I use the Oneida Ultimate Dust Deputy, less expensive at $300, attached to my CT26. I am less concerned about cost than I am about fine dust. When the inexpensive plastic bag in the Oneida is full, or nearly full, I close it up and take it out to the trash. I don't empty bags and risk exposing my family or me to the dust.
