Festool SELFCLEAN Filter Bag CT 26 Dust Control

Festool SELFCLEAN filter bag CT 26 gives the CT 26 dust extractor a filter bag that sheds caked dust from the inside as it fills, so the extractor maintains maximum suction efficiency through the workday. The self-cleaning design means dust on the bag interior breaks away instead of forming a hard layer, so airflow stays open while you sand, rout, or cut. By acting as a pre-filter inside the CT 26, this bag captures particles down to five microns in size before they ever reach the main filter, supporting consistent dust control performance. The bag volume is used efficiently, because the SELFCLEAN action helps the bag expand and refill instead of plugging up early. An integrated flap seals the bag when it is removed from the CT 26, which helps keep fine dust contained during disposal and keeps the extractor body cleaner between bag changes.

Key Dust Collection Details For CT 26 Users

• The self-cleaning filter bag design eliminates dust from caking inside the bag, so suction performance remains high as the CT 26 fills during extended sanding or cutting tasks.
• By capturing particles down to five microns in size, the bag removes fine dust from the airflow, which supports a cleaner work environment and helps protect the CT 26 main filter from loading.
• The filter bag acts as a pre-filter in the CT 26 dust extractor, so most debris is trapped in the bag first, which simplifies routine maintenance on the primary filter element.
• Optimum usage of the filter bag volume is supported by the SELFCLEAN action, so more of the internal space is available for dust collection before airflow begins to drop noticeably.
• The integrated flap is used to seal the bag for disposal, so collected dust stays in the bag when it is removed from the CT 26 canister and carried away from the work area.
• Packing and sold in a pack of 5 each, so multiple bag changes are covered on longer jobs before a new supply is needed.

Filter Bag Fit, Sealing, And CT 26 Workflow

This SELFCLEAN filter bag is specified for the CT 26 dust extractor, so it fits the CT 26 internal chamber and connection layout for normal extraction use. When the bag is installed and the CT 26 is operating, the self-cleaning behavior keeps internal bag surfaces from building up a rigid dust layer, which supports a predictable pressure drop as the bag loads. The integrated flap is part of the bag itself, so once the CT 26 is powered down and the bag is removed, the opening can be sealed to retain dust. Capturing particles down to five microns means the bag handles a wide range of typical sanding and cutting dust in woodworking environments, and the pre-filter role helps the CT 26 maintain suction consistency between main filter service intervals.

Using SELFCLEAN Filter Bags With CT 26 Extractors

Where This SELFCLEAN Filter Bag Is Applied

The SELFCLEAN filter bag for CT 26 is used inside the Festool CT 26 dust extractor as the primary collection point for dust and debris. In operation, the CT 26 draws dust-laden air into this bag, where the self-cleaning design prevents material from caking on the interior surface. Because the bag captures particles down to five microns in size, it is suited to typical woodworking dust from sanding, routing, and general power tool extraction on shop or site work. Acting as a pre-filter inside the CT 26 means the bag takes on the bulk of material load before air reaches the main filter, so the extractor continues operating with stable suction across multiple tasks. Optimum usage of bag volume allows the CT 26 to run longer between bag changes, which supports uninterrupted work on larger runs.

Why These SELFCLEAN Details Support Consistent Results

The self-cleaning behavior inside the SELFCLEAN filter bag means dust is knocked free from the bag walls as airflow cycles, so the interior surface stays more open for air movement. This directly supports constantly high suction power in the CT 26, which matters when consistent extraction is needed for sanding quality and tool performance. The bag functioning as a pre-filter also means fine particles down to five microns are removed before reaching the primary filter, so the CT 26 maintains airflow characteristics closer to a clean-filter condition for a longer period. When work pauses for a bag change, the integrated flap can be closed to seal the opening, which keeps collected dust contained as the bag is handled and removed from the area. Because the bags are provided in a pack of 5 each, CT 26 users can schedule multiple bag changes across projects while maintaining the same SELFCLEAN performance characteristics on every replacement.
