After many years of development, I am very excited to announce that my direct-mount Suction Controller is now available. You can order yours here.
Though designed for use with Festool CT 26, 36, and 48 dust extractors, it works just as well with workshop vacuums from brands like Ridgid and DeWalt… it just doesn’t look as slick when installed on those round-bodied tools.
It plugs into the front of a dust extractor or workshop vacuum and allows you to connect one or two hoses. This is useful for one person switching between two tools, or using a tool like a router with two dust extraction ports. It also allows two people to work simultaneously with different tools, such as sanders, using just one dust extractor.
It’s different from a Y splitter in that the suction to each hose can be completely controlled, so you can regulate how much suction goes to each hose. You can have a 50/50 split, a 60/40 split, suction to only the left, or right, or any other ratio.
There are two versions available – the CT SWITCHER-D which is anti-static, and the VAC SWITCHER-D which is not. You can order yours here.
