This is an overhead boom arm accessory built to route a dust extractor's hose and power cord above the work area instead of across it. It mounts to the extractor via T-LOC and swivels for extra clearance, letting you move freely around the tool without the hose fighting you for space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe arm itself is built from modular, lightweight chain links, which is what makes it adjustable rather than a fixed-length rod. If the full reach is more than your setup needs, you pull links out and shorten it; if you need more room, you add them back. A telescoping tube measuring 24.8 in. (630mm) handles the height side of the equation, letting you dial in exactly how high the arm sits above your bench or workstation. Hose and power cord route along the arm and secure to the chain links with hook-and-loop straps, so nothing dangles loose or swings into your line of sight while you work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \"plug it\" cable system is built into the design specifically so you can swap tools quickly without disconnecting or rerouting the whole setup — useful if you're moving between a sander, a track saw, and a router on the same dust extractor over the course of a job. The SYS-MFT Systainer that houses the arm isn't just a storage case, either: its lid has an MFT-style perforated top, so it doubles as a surface for clamping and workholding once it's unpacked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the practicality side, this is an accessory built around actually breaking down and moving. The chain-link construction lets the whole arm collapse and store inside the SYS-MFT Systainer for transport, and setup on site is fast — mount it to the dust extractor, extend the telescoping tube to height, and route your hose and cord along the arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility is straightforward: this boom arm is built for Festool CT 26 through CT 48 dust extractors, and it also mounts to Festool MFT multifunction tables and the MW 1000 mobile workshop, so it fits into a stationary bench setup or a jobsite cart equally well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy this if you run a CT dust extractor at a semi-permanent station — a shop bench, an MFT table, or a mobile workshop cart — and you're tired of managing a loose hose every time you switch tools. It's a strong fit for woodworkers, cabinet installers, and finish carpenters doing repeated sanding, sawing, or routing at one location. If your dust extractor moves from room to room on every job with no fixed station, the setup and breakdown time may not pay off compared to just managing the hose by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-whats-included\" class=\"acc\" open\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tnincluded-wrapper\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystainer SYS-MFT 187 (1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelescopic tube with fixing screw (1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook-and-loop fastener (1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"included-note\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dust extractor itself is sold separately — this arm is an accessory for an existing Festool CT 26 to CT 48 unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-key-specifications\" class=\"acc\" open\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\u003ctable class=\"aplusspecs\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/length.svg\" alt=\"length\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Telescopic Tube Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24.8-in (630 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/size.svg\" alt=\"size\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Flexible Arm Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.28 ft (1.00 m), shortenable by removing chain links\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/depth.svg\" alt=\"depth\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Overall Height (incl.
