Peter Millard | £5 Fix for the Festool Droop [video 448] @10MinuteWorkshop | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
You know how it’s the little things that drive you nuts? Well in this video I find a £5 / $5 fix for the 'extractile dysfunction' droop on Festool’s TS55R. Enjoy!

I asked in the video if anyone was interested in 3D printing these, and I'm happy to say Mike at novicewoodworker.com has a version available for sale here:-

novicewoodworker.com/shop/festool-track-saw-hose-adapter

And Nic Gibbens has plans for them for sale (for the folks who want to 3D print their own) on his etsy here:-

I've seen photos of the adapter mounted on the saw and they look excellent - go and check them out, and thanks so much guys for putting this together so fast!

For anyone into their 3D printing, there's a diagram of what's needed here - dropbox.com/s/d8z2njfphvyc1f3/Vac%20adapter.png?dl=0
