Overview

Festool CT-ASA FLX W Flexible Boom Arm - 578518 At a Glance: Flexible Festool CT-ASA FLX W extraction boom arm designed for use with Festool CT 26 to CT 48 mobile dust extractors. Features a 1.5m modular, swivelling arm with 13 lightweight, robust plastic chain links, integrated hose and cable routing, and a wall-mounting bracket. Designed to guide the extraction hose and power cable overhead, helping keep the work area clear and reducing the risk of snagging and tripping during sanding, sawing and routing operations. The arm can be shortened by removing links and swivelled out of the way when not in use. Improve workshop organisation, comfort and dust extraction hose management with the Festool CT-ASA FLX W flexible boom arm (578518) . Designed for use with compatible Festool CT 26 to CT 48 dust extractors, this practical workshop accessory guides the extraction hose and tool power cable from above, helping maintain a clear working area during demanding sanding, sawing and routing tasks. When working with powered tools connected to a dust extractor, extraction hoses and power cables can become obstacles around the workpiece. They may catch on benches, interfere with tool movement or create trip hazards, particularly during extended operations or when moving around a large workpiece. The CT-ASA FLX W addresses these challenges by suspending and guiding the hose and cable overhead rather than allowing them to trail across the working area. The 1.5m flexible arm consists of 13 robust, lightweight plastic chain links that can be separated and reconnected to adjust the overall length. This modular construction allows the arm to be configured to suit the available workshop space and the position of the work station. The swivelling design also makes it possible to move the arm aside when access to the work area is required or when the system is not in use. A dedicated wall-mounting bracket secures the extraction arm to a suitable workshop wall. Its lightweight construction supports installation on a wide range of wall types, provided the mounting surface, fasteners and installation method are appropriate for the wall and the intended loads. The bracket allows the arm to swivel, providing flexibility when working at a fixed sanding or assembly station. The integrated hose and cable routing helps keep the extraction hose and power cable organised along the arm. Hook-and-loop fasteners secure the cable and hose arrangement to the chain links, helping prevent loose sections from interfering with the operator or workpiece. This overhead arrangement supports more comfortable working during extended sanding, sawing and routing applications. The CT-ASA FLX W is particularly useful for dedicated workshop workstations where tools are frequently connected to a dust extractor. It helps create a more organised working environment, improves access around the workpiece and makes it easier to position the extraction hose as the tool moves through its working range. For workshops handling substantial quantities of dust, the extraction arm can form part of a broader dust management arrangement when combined with a compatible dust extractor and suitable accessories, such as an appropriate pre-separator. Correct selection of the extraction equipment and accessories remains important for the material being processed and the required dust control. Supplied as the Festool CT-ASA FLX W, product number 578518 , this wall-mounted boom arm is a practical addition to professional woodworking shops, joinery workshops, cabinetmaking facilities and other workstations using compatible Festool dust extraction equipment. CT-ASA FLX W - Flexible Overhead Extraction for the Workshop The Festool CT-ASA FLX W is a flexible extraction arm designed to improve the routing and management of extraction hoses and power cables at workshop workstations. By guiding these connections from above, the system helps prevent them from trailing across the floor or catching on the workpiece and surrounding equipment. The modular arm is constructed from 13 lightweight plastic links. The links can be removed and reconnected to adjust the arm to a shorter length when the full 1.5m configuration is not required. Its swivelling construction allows the arm to be positioned around the working area and moved aside when necessary. Integrated cable routing and hook-and-loop fasteners help maintain an orderly hose and cable arrangement. Together with the wall-mounted bracket, these features provide a convenient solution for workshops seeking improved ergonomics, reduced clutter and easier access around fixed workstations. Designed for Festool CT 26 to CT 48 dust extractors, the CT-ASA FLX W provides a dedicated overhead hose management solution for compatible Festool extraction setups.
