Many people asked in the past if a Festool CT-Mini/Midi would be strong enough to handle the Kapex.

I say, yes. No problem. But because I'm always trying to improve things, I upgraded to the bigger hose for the Kapex. Yes, there is a difference to the smaller one, but not much.

As many of you know, the CT's loose suction as soon as the dust bag is getting near half full. In a real world situation that is exactly how it would be while working on a job site. Therefore, I shoot this video with a almost full bag.

Cheers,

I can't see any dust how about reshooting it from a better angle ?

Different set up, better lighting...

Comparing the smaller hose with the bigger one while doing sliding and plunge cuts...

Hi,

Very nice. The D36 hose is the first one right? The dust does appear to be removed faster. The dust cloud looks thinner on the first two cuts which would indicate a faster removal rate. Both certainly do a great job.

Yes, the first one is done with the bigger hose.
I was actually quite surprised with the amount of dust that was kicked up! Usually I don't cut birch plywood with the Kapex, most times it's bamboo or solid stock. And for some reason they create a different type of dust... Go figure.
Anyhow, I'm sure it will give people a better idea now how much dust is collected with this set up.
