I have the TS55 and also a CT22, but there are a few times I’ve used the saw and not needed a lot of dust collection, like outside.
I also have a Bosch cordless planer and it comes with a square fabric – metal reenforced dust bag with a round plastic dust port and it fits on the TS55 no adapters or tape necessary.
The saw directs the sawdust so efficiently that the dust bag will fill up very quickly. It fits perfect and can be rotated around to the perfect position and because it has an internal metal “frame”, it does not hang in the way much like other small dust bags would.
A perfect compliment to your saw kit – helps to eliminate a lot of cleanup outside and eliminate a lot of dust and cleanup inside if you want to do a few quick cuts without the vac attached. easy to empty as well.
Well worth the $10 or so they cost from Bosch.
You’ll have to call or look in a catalog to find the part number – it is not listed on the website.

I assume that is what you are talking about.

A-holes. Hey every group has to have one. And I have been elected to be the one. I should make that my tagline.
That would be it - Last time I bought mine, it cost me about $10-15 I think.JT
Julian, you missed a good fest.
Here's an bass ackwards use for a defunct (broken wire frame) Hitachi slider. I use it on my corded Bosch planer. Catches all the chips, fills fast and does hang there since it's crammed on. I might have to get the cordless bag-see if it fits on the corded and definitely use it when I don't want to vac the Festool.

All the bosch planers (except for the older models) have the same dust bag port.Because of it's square wire frame shape - it's handy for a lot of tools.JT
good tip
make sure you blow the dust from the housing every few cuts
keeps the plunge spring clean
