Festool XS-AS FastFix Angle Attachment for CXS and TXS

At a Glance: Ultra-compact 90° FastFix attachment with a direct 1/4-inch bit holder, approximately 68 mm working length and 16 installation positions for drilling and screwdriving in confined spaces.

Reach fasteners and drilling positions that would normally be inaccessible with the Festool XS-AS angle attachment. Developed for the original Festool CXS and TXS cordless drills, this exceptionally compact FastFix accessory redirects the drive through 90° for controlled drilling and screwdriving inside cabinets, between structural components and in other confined spaces. A direct 1/4-inch bit holder keeps the working length exceptionally short, while the attachment can also accept compatible FastFix accessories such as the WH-CE CENTROTEC tool chuck and BF-FX 10 keyless chuck. The XS-AS rotates through 360° with 16 installation positions, allowing the attachment to be positioned around surrounding obstacles for maximum flexibility.

Screwdriving and drilling around corners

The XS-AS expands the capabilities of compatible compact Festool drills without requiring a separate right-angle machine. Its FastFix interface allows rapid, tool-free fitting, while the multiple installation positions help create a comfortable and practical working angle. With an inserted bit, the working construction length is approximately 68 mm, making it particularly effective in restricted cabinet, furniture and assembly applications.

Product highlights

Ultra-compact right-angle drive: Enables drilling and screwdriving where a conventional drill body cannot be positioned.
Approximately 68 mm working length: The direct bit holder creates a remarkably short setup when used with an inserted bit.
Sixteen installation positions: Rotate and lock the attachment around the tool to avoid nearby panels and obstructions.
Full 360° positioning: Provides excellent flexibility when working in awkward spaces.
Direct 1/4-inch bit holder: Accepts compatible hex-shank bits without requiring an additional chuck.
FastFix convenience: Attaches quickly and securely to compatible CXS and TXS cordless drills.
Expandable tool interface: Supports compatible FastFix accessories including CENTROTEC and keyless chucks.
Ideal for installation work: Excellent for cabinetmaking, kitchen fitting, furniture assembly and interior finishing.

Features

90° angle transmission: Redirects the tool drive for access to fasteners and holes in narrow spaces.
FastFix machine connection: Allows quick, tool-free installation on compatible Festool drills.
Direct 1/4-inch hex holder: Provides a short setup for compatible screwdriver and drilling bits.
Sixteen indexed positions: The attachment can be locked in multiple orientations around the machine.
360° adjustment range: Allows the attachment body to be positioned around surrounding obstacles.
Accessory compatibility: Accepts compatible FastFix accessories such as the WH-CE CENTROTEC and BF-FX 10 chucks.
Compact construction: Approximately 68 mm long when configured with a directly inserted bit.
Professional drive capacity: Suitable for screws up to 5 x 40 mm in softwood.

Benefits

Reach confined spaces: The right-angle drive accesses positions that cannot accommodate the complete drill body.
Work closer to edges: The compact output allows drilling and screwdriving near cabinet sides and internal corners.
Reduce tool changes: The attachment adds right-angle capability to an existing compatible CXS or TXS drill.
Choose the best orientation: Sixteen positions make it easier to avoid obstructions and maintain a comfortable grip.
Save setup time: The FastFix connection allows the attachment to be fitted and removed quickly.
Keep the setup compact: Bits can be inserted directly into the integrated holder without an additional chuck.
Expand application options: Compatible FastFix chucks allow both CENTROTEC accessories and conventional drill bits to be used.

Pro Tips

Use the direct 1/4-inch bit holder whenever possible to achieve the shortest and most manoeuvrable setup.
Rotate the attachment before inserting the machine into a confined space so that the drill handle remains comfortable to hold.
Begin fastening at a low speed to prevent the bit from slipping when visibility is limited.
Use shorter bits for maximum access and longer bits only when additional reach is required.
Pre-drill hardwood or dense materials to reduce torque loading on the angle attachment.
Support the attachment with your free hand where safe and practical to improve control during starting.
Use the machine&s torque setting when driving smaller screws near delicate cabinet surfaces.
Check that the FastFix connection remains clean and free from chips to ensure smooth fitting and secure locking.

How to Use

Confirm that the cordless drill is an original compatible Festool CXS or TXS model.
Switch off the drill and remove the battery before fitting the attachment.
Remove the existing chuck or accessory from the drill&s FastFix interface.
Align the XS-AS with the FastFix connection and secure it according to the machine operating instructions.
Rotate the angle attachment to the most suitable indexed position for the available working space.
Insert a compatible 1/4-inch bit directly into the holder, or fit a compatible FastFix chuck if required.
Check that the attachment, chuck and bit are all securely locked.
Refit the battery and select the appropriate speed and torque setting for the application.
Position the bit squarely against the fastener or drilling point and operate the machine with controlled pressure.
After use, remove the battery before releasing the bit, chuck or angle attachment.
