Designed and released in partnership with SteveI.Design the Festool CSC SYS 50 Dust Extractor Adapter to address the friction Steve felt as soon as he started using the amazing CSC SYS 50... In his own words...
'When the Festool CSC SYS 50 Table Saw was released, I picked one up on launch day. When I got it home and started to use it, I quickly realized the hose on my Festool CT 48 Dust Extractor did not fit the CSC SYS 50’s dust port. I had an older version of the 36mm hose for my CT 48 dust extractor which was smooth on the inside and did not lock onto the dust ports on many of the Festool tools.
Due to the tight tolerances around the dust port on the CSC SYS 50 Table Saw, I was also unable to put the hose over the CSC SYS 50’s dust port. My only option for dust extraction was to use the Festool Reducing Sleeve. While the Festool Sleeve did work, it had to be friction fit into the CSC SYS 50’s dust port. With the shape and locking lugs molded into the the CSC SYS 50’s dust port, it was hard to get a tight seal on the connection between the Festool Reducing Sleeve and the CSC SYS 50 dust port causing the hose to fall off easily.
In order to fix this issue, I reached out to Forged 3D to jointly develop an adapter which fits inside the CSC SYS 50’s Dust port and locks into it utitizes the locking lugs molded into the CSC SYS 50’s dust port and many other Festool tools ( like the CSC SYS 50 Table Saw, Kapex KS 120, Kapex KSC 60 and Festool Cleaning Sets)'
Tested to work with Festool Extractor Hoses with 36mm opening:
- Festool CSC SYS 50 Table Saw
- Festool Kapex KS 120
- Festool Kapex KSC 60
- Festool Cleaning Sets
Produced out of high temperature glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic for use in the workshop or the job site.

it fits the dust port on the saw perfectly! It does lock in place but not as tightly as a Festool hose does! It can twist and come loose. All in all it’s the best adaptor I have seen for extending the port. I was able to use a Rockler quick connector on the adaptor to connect to my dust collector. Very pleased with the product. Highly recommend this company.
Finding items specific to the CSC SYS 50 has been problematic. One of the items I have been looking for is a way to extend the output port going to my extractor. The SYS-DST- Festool CSC SYS 50 / Kapex Extractor Adapter suits the purpose. The item appears to be well constructed and works will in my environment. That said, there would be two things I would enhance to be more ideal (at least for me). 1) extend the area that connects into the extractor hose a bit. Probably no more than half of an inch longer. 2) rather than the adapter connecting to the inside of the CSC 50 extractor port, I would prefer it connect to the outside of the port. To be clear, these things to not change the fact the adapter works and seems to be of good quality. If you need an adapter for your CSC 50, consider this one.
Mike, Thanks for the review and the patronage! We love getting feedback from customers on how they are using our products in their workshop, jobsite on in their workflows... And we especially love hearing improvements we can make to further refine and perfect our products. We will definetly look at the if extending the adapter makes sense. We now have a CSC SYS 50 in the shop to play with on a long term basis, so refinements are a definite possiblity.
On inside or outside of the dust port... Due to the tight window the dust port travels during angled operations nailing the fitment and getting ample material to support the dust hose is troublesome. We tried to strike the best balance of being able to use a larger extractor hose and minimally restrict the air flow for dust capture while at the same time provide a product that will last in the less than gentile environments we expect it to be used in.
Again, thanks for your purchase and your feedback!
