Festool 496187 Self-Clean Filter Bag for CT 26 – Pack of 5

Maximize CT 26 performance with a self-clean filter bag

When you run a Festool CT 26, suction stability is crucial for efficient cleanup. The 496187 Self-Clean Filter Bag uses a pliable three-layer polyester fleece that resists dust cake. As dust particles flex and move with your workflow, the bag remains resilient, helping your extractor keep a strong pull until it's near full. This design helps maintain intake power for longer, reducing the need for premature filter changes.

Crafted with care in Germany, these bags feature a soft, flexible interior that minimizes clumping and prolongs bag life. The result is steadier performance across longer sessions, even as you tackle dense dust and debris from various tasks.

Key benefits that matter in the workshop

• Three-layer polyester fleece material provides tear resistance and durability
• Self-cleaning action minimizes caking, helping maintain suction
• Filters down to 5 microns, capturing fine and large dust particles
• Acts as a pre-filter, helping protect the main HEPA filter and prolong life
• Reusable with FSC-certified materials, aligning with responsible packaging
• Integrated closure enables quick, mess-free bag disposal

Durable, practical, and ready for job sites

These bags are designed to be tear resistant and to withstand the rigors of shop use. They come in a carton containing five bags, so you can replace them in a tidy sequence as needed. The closure mechanism helps reduce spills when you consign the bag to waste.

In practice: ideal use cases

• Woodworking and carpentry tasks generating chips and fine sawdust
• Drywall sanding and plaster dust cleanup
• General workshop cleanup where a consistent suction and clean disposal are valued

Packaging and sustainability: The bag material is FSC-certified, reflecting Festool's commitment to responsible sourcing. Each box includes five filter bags, designed for quick storage and easy replacement after dusty tasks.

Note: While these bags are designed for optimal performance with the CT 26, actual results depend on your equipment setup and usage. This is not a guarantee of outcomes, but a set of tools designed to support your workflow.

In summary, the Festool 496187 Self-Clean Filter Bag pack provides a practical, high-value option for maintaining extraction performance, helping your CT 26 work efficiently over longer sessions. The 5-pack makes it easy to stock up and keep your system ready for ongoing projects.
