Festool 496187 Selfclean Filter Bag for CT 26 – 5 Bags

Meet the Festool 496187 Selfclean Filter Bag, a reusable, three-layer polyester fleece bag designed for the CT 26 dust extractor. By preventing the inner lining from cake buildup, it helps maintain strong suction and reliable performance throughout long tasks.

The self-cleaning design uses a pliable fleece that stays flexible during operation, reducing the tendency of dust to cling to the bag walls. This means the extractor can sustain airflow closer to peak capacity, even as particles accumulate during extended use.

Key benefits

• Self-cleaning fleece reduces cake buildup, helping maintain suction power as the bag fills.
• Three-layer polyester fleece delivers tear resistance and durable filtration for busy environments.
• Particles down to 5 microns are trapped, protecting the main HEPA filter and extending filter life.
• Integrated closure enables quick, mess-free bag disposal without spills.

Designed for CT 26 and dust classes

• Specifically compatible with Festool CT 26 dust extractors for consistent performance.
• Optimizes bag volume use and sustains high, steady suction; the bag is reusable for longer jobs.
• Certified FSC materials emphasize responsible sourcing and durability in demanding workshop settings.

Real-world use and scenarios

Whether you’re sanding wood, cutting composites, or filtering dry dust from workshops, these bags help you work with fewer interruptions. The bag also acts as a pre-filter, catching large chips and fine dust before it reaches the main filter, contributing to smoother operation.

In daily use, you’ll appreciate a quick, clean bag change. The material is tear resistant and designed to resist blowouts, so you can focus on your task rather than cleanup.

What you gain

• Consistent extraction performance across a full bag cycle.
• Lower wear on the main filter and reduced maintenance costs.
• Cleaner disposal and less mess in the workshop.

Boxed in a carton and sourced from Germany, these bags reinforce Festool’s approach to reliable, user-friendly dust extraction.
