Festool to Packout Adapter Plate (JP-FPA) - Jonah Pope Design

NOTE: THIS PRODUCT REQUIRES ASSEMBLY BY THE END USER.  A PARTS LIST AT THE END OF THIS DESCRIPTION

From the designer:

My custom design allows you to mount and stack your Packout on top of your Festool Vacuum Cleaner Dust Extractors! The print is designed to mount and interlock to the Vac using the pre-existing Systainer clips. Then simply bolt on the Compact Packout Mounting plate to the top of the print for stacking your Packout!

This custom design specifically mounts the PACKOUT Compact Wall Plate 48-22-8486 (AUS 48228486)https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/48-22-8486

The printed portion is compatible with a wide array of the current lineup of Festool Vacuums and Systainer 3 boxes. I have a comprehensive visual guide at the bottom of this page so you can confirm it will work for you!

Features - Super Flexible Design

• Perfect Adaptor - You can finally combine your gear! If like me you run Milwaukee but have Festool for your Vac, It's frustrating not being able to store your gear on top. That's what led to me developing this design!

• Quick Access - The front has been left open, allowing for storing or retrieval of your vacuum hose without having to remove any boxes.

• Easy Mount - No need for any permanent mods to Festool or Packout gear! I've designed this to use the existing Systainer clips and latches. It will attach just like any other Systainer!

• Strong and Durable - With the T-Lock and 4 latches engaged, your Packout stack will be very well secured. I could lift my Vacuum by the clipped on Packout, shake it, and it remained safely attached.

• Off the shelf parts - Uses the Packout Compact Wall Plate and four M6 30mm Bolts. The provided mounting holes in the print are 8mm to allow for ease of mounting. They also include space for washers.

Festool and Systainer Compatibility:

I drove down to my local tool Shop to test the compatibility of the adapter design on the available Vacuum and Systainer boxes. Below details the compatible models complete with pictures.

Semi Compatible:

The design of these Vacuums were different, which meant the fit wasn't as perfect. All the latches clipped closed, although the fit was still slightly loose. So the mount will work, it just slide around slightly.
