Festool boom Arm for Cl extractors

[LyNx]

Has anyone had experience using the boom arm with the festool extractors? Is it worth the £180 :?

I can't find any info if this will fit the CL Mini and the total height of this boom when fitted.

I've not used it, but there's a piece about it on WoodshopDemos:

I have

My furniture making teacher is sponsored by Festool, and he has one, it's a dream. I have the CL33 extracor but have not forked out the reddies for the arm - I have a various pieces of bungie tied around the beams in the workshop (at each place I'm likely to use the extrator). The hose ( a 5 meter one) then has a hook I attach to the bungy. Certainly not as good but does the job.

But like all Festool things they just work so well and have thought of all options. You get what you pay for in this world, just wish I had more disposanble income to add to my Festool collection
