Description

The Festool 576761 CT 48 AC HEPA Dust Extractor provides maximum volume, HEPA filtration and the versatility you need in the workshop or on the job site. It is designed so that you won't have any more clogged filters! The AUTOCLEAN (AC) automatic main filter cleaning keeps the filter clean and provides a continuously high suction power, and it is a OSHA Table 1 Silica dust control solution. The CT 48 AC HEPA is capable of supporting most common jobsite tasks such as sawing, routing, planing, sanding, cutting, and site clean up. Equipped with tool-triggered operation, variable suction control, parking brake, a hose storage, and more to make work easier and more efficient. Big jobs demand big volume and the CT 48 E HEPA AC delivers big time! Large capacity tank (48 liters or 12.7 gallons), with high volume suction (137 CFM with 96" static water lift) ensures you can keep working with fewer interruptions to empty the machine.

Germany Other Key Features: - OSHA Table 1 Silica dust control solution for the applications outlined as; iii, vii, viii, x, xi, xii (always check your local guidelines to ensure the proper equipment and PPE is being used for the given application) - HEPA Filtration helps to ensure compliance with best practices as directed by OSHA and the EPA (please check your local jurisdiction for compliance) - AC (AutoClean) Function automatically cycles the filter cleaning action to help ensure optimum airflow and suction performance - High volume capacity for big jobs with high dust volume reduces downtime for filter bag changes. The flat filter is fully integrated with the suction head, which ensures the full volume of the tank is utilized: This means that the gross and net container volumes are nearly identical. - The extremely compact high-performance turbine provides the right suction power. A 137 CFM volume flow means that virtually nothing remains except clean air. - The tapered 36-32mm hose ensures optimal airflow and keeps both the volume of air and velocity of the air at a high level, ensuring adequate dust extraction for nearly any application - Ready to work - the included Reducer allows for connection to all Festool products with both a 36mm and a 27mm port - Equipped with swiveling front casters and large rear wheels for optimum mobility.

  • Well designed
Except for the price, there is nothing to dislike. I am counting on their reputation for durability as I have only had it for a few months. It functions extremely well in terms of power with zero escape of particles. However, my prime reason for choosing it over the less expensive Makita, which probably would have performed equally well in the immediate (again trusting Festool's reputation for durability) was the incredibly well thought out design that keeps you from having a bulky hose wrapped awkwardly around the machine, as well as an electrical cord equally awkwardly stored. Festool smartly makes those typical inconveniences disappear. It also wheels about easily with it's large back wheels even when just pulling around by the hose. Finally, the green fabric wrapped smooth hose doesn't catch on everything like the typical ribbed hoses on most shop vacs or dust extractors. One recommendation for buyers: purchase the largest one, which has all the basic attachments already included. Plus, with the larger capacity you can go much longer before having to purchase an expensive replacement bag. I am looking forward to purchasing the Blue Tooth accessory that will alow me to turn it on and off from the business end of the hose. And any concern over the thumping of the automatic filter cleaning is nonsense as you can turn the function on and off at will. I am very happy about the splurge of buying the Festool despite my momentary buyers remorse right after ordering for not getting the less expensive but equally functional Makita. ... show more

  • Great dust collector
Acquired this primaraly for a drywall dust collection. I attached it to a Miraka hand sander for sanding joint compound. For this application it works great. Seems to collect just about ALL of the drywall dust. Pretty much eliminated the need to seal up the room to contain the dust. I saw no evidence of air born dust and nothing collected on any of the surfaces in the room. I recommend the bluetooth remote switch as it saves a lot of time. The collector also works well with Festool sanders. ... show more

  • Expensive but awesome
Just getting back into working with wood and thought I'd get some better tools and accessories. I can't believe I let go of this much loot for essentially a vacuum but I did. I don't regret it. Got the bluetooth switch and love it.

  • I'm so old I remember when Festo made quality tools
Festo earned a great reputation. Notice I used the word "earned" meaning past tense. They don't earn their reputation anymore. This vacuum doesn't have great suction. You could go to home depot and spend 200 bucks on a shop vac and get better suction. And the hose falls off the wand every 3 seconds because they never figured out how to attach it properly. You have to constantly stop, pick up the hose and reattach it. You get to the point where you're working the wand with one hand and holding the hose on with the other. You can spend more money to install a bluetooth module in this vacuum, which I was dumb enough to do, only to find that every time I release the trigger of the tool paired with the vacuum, the bluetooth connection ends and it takes 10 seconds or so to reconnect. I've found it's much more efficient to just plug the tool into the wall and turn the vacuum on and off manually. Though this vaccum has a larger bin that the other models, the turbine is exactly the same. All you're getting is a larger plastic body than the other models. If you think you're getting a bigger turbine and more suction then you are way off. All in all, there's nothing about this vacuum that justifies the price. ... show more

  • Meets the hype expectations
OK, so much hype about these things but now I get it. I have several vacuums. My wife actually picks on me about how many vacuums do you need? Hopefully this is the last one. I can’t imagine it being better at this point. I do have the Bluetooth remote on the end of the hosewhich is a game changer And it has self cleaning HEPA filters, which means maintain the same level of vacuum throughout projects that I may have. Festool has some amazing tools. I don’t think you’ll regret this one. ... show more

  • Watch the you tube videos before you buy !!!
So I purchased planex for home remodel and quickly realized I needed the correct vacuum a little frustrating but I have found it worth the money to have a system that works. The ease of use makes the Sheetrock sanding much easier and far better than the cheaper products added the hand sanders for corners and the beater head for floor clean up ... show more
