Whatever kind of woodworking you’re undertaking, there’s one constant…

The troublesome menace of sawdust. Not only is this irritating for your eyes and nose, it can cause you problems with breathing, wreak havoc if you have allergies and even lead to serious diseases. A first-class dust extraction system is crucial and Festool offer some great solutions.

In today’s Festool M0114 CT boom arm bundle set, you can explore an innovative way to keep the hose and cord of your dust collector out of harm’s way as you work.

We’ll outline the chief advantages and drawbacks then get down to business so you can see if this is the right tool for your workshop…
Pros
* Focus fully on your woodworking without worrying about a bird’s nest of cords and hoses endangering you and obscuring your line of sight
* Heavy-duty steel tubes for maximum durability and lifespan
* Perfect if you are sanding or planing, sawing or routing so highly flexible solution
* Absolutely rigid thanks to stabilizer bars across the base
* Combination of 5 foot extension cord and lengthy 5 foot hose ensure you get more than enough room for maneuver
* Hose is antistatic so no annoying shocks when you are working
* Fits seamlessly into Festool extractors with hose provided so you’re good to go straight out the box
Cons
* Only compatible with Festool CT 26 and CT 36 dust extractors
* Can be rather awkward moving from stationary to mobile use with support riggings in place so think about your intended use
* An expensive luxury although, if you have a commercial workshop, you should consider this a worthwhile investment

While the casual home woodworker on a budget will not be remotely interested in this nifty rig, any serious craftsman or professional workshop set-up will benefit strongly from the safety and convenience delivered by this boom arm.

If you have a dust extraction system in place, you’ll be only too aware of the trip hazard and nuisance caused by all the trailing cables and hoses. Throw in your power tools and, unless you take action, it’s an accident waiting to happen.

For owners of Festool’s CT 26 or CT 36 dust extractors, there is great news in the form of the M0114 boom arm bundle set. This handy contraption will ensure that everything is kept well clear of your workspace so you can concentrate on your woodworking without worrying about either dust and debris or tripping over cords.

There’s a 5-foot extension cable provided along with a 5-foot hose. Overall height of the unit when assembled is an impressive 7 foot. You’ll enjoy a 140-degree range of motion for complete flexibility as you press your power tools into commission.

The rugged steel tubes are built to stay the distance. Their antistatic nature means you won’t get any of those pricking static shocks. The boom itself has stabilizer bars making sure you’ve got a rock solid platform to operate from.

There are a couple of minor niggles aside from the usual eye-watering price of any Festool equipment…

Be well aware in advance that this set is only of any use if you already have – or intend to buy – the Festool CT 26 or CT 36 dust extractor. It is not a generic boom arm that fits other extractors.

Also, if you have the kind of workshop where you might want to move the boom arm around, this is fairly tricky once everything is set up. For fixed workstations it works very well, though.
Final Words
If you have the money to spare and you want to make sure that your workshop is not just dust-free but also the safest possible place to carry out your woodworking, this Festool boom arm set would make a fine addition to your Festool arsenal.

This range of power tools and equipment is designed to work in complete harmony so give some serious thought to upgrading your kit and going Festool all the way!
