Max power tool take off

[Mrs C]

Does anyone understand the maximum power take off on dust extractors? Festool give a maximum takeoff of 1800w on the ctl26 which isn't enough for their 2200 table router (or my trusty triton tra001)

Do you give this a stiff ignoring or accept that you can't plug a table router into a dust extractor?

Thanks

I run my triton TRA001 from my Titan vac with no problems. In fact, I've never had anything not run from it..

I don't know about the different CTL26 variants but, on their website, Festool quote 2400W for both the 220V and 110V models: https://www.festool.co.uk/products/dust ... v#Overview

Let axminster know theres a mistake. They will change it. I know this for sure!

yes the 2200 runs fine from a midi power take off

The power limit of all the auto-switching extractors I've seen is essentially governed by the 13A limit of a mains plug, so you only get more power for the switching socket if you have less power draw on the extractor motors. You can get a bit more power if you use a separate switching unit, like this one:

If you wire the above to a 16A socket, you can then wire a 13A socket on both the master and the slave - tool to the master, vacuum switched in the on position to the slave. For a 1400W extractor, this gives you about 2500W for the power tool.

For even more power, I'm thinking of wiring the slave off one of those units into a power relay - thus getting the 15A limit for the power tool and a separate mains connection for the slave, switched by the relay. I can finally go to auto-switching on my machines then.

I think the sticker on my ctl midi says do not exceed 500 or 800W, never had a problem running my 2.3 kW saw off it.

I used to run a 3.25HP (2500w) Freud router powered by the socket on a Nilfisk Alto shop vac without any problems. I can't remember what the stated maximum was, probably about 1600W.
