Key Features & Benefits
- Bluetooth Auto-Start — permanently installed Bluetooth interface triggers the extractor automatically when paired with a Festool 18V cordless tool, eliminating the need for a wired connection.
- Five-Stage Suction Control — adjust suction power across five levels via touch controls to match the application, from fine sanding to heavy routing.
- M Class Filtration — certified to capture 99.9% of hazardous wood and mineral dust with particle limit values above 0.1 mg/m3, meeting occupational health requirements on site.
- Wet & Dry Extraction — handles liquid spills and slurry as well as dry dust, switching between modes without filter changes.
- Touch Control Panel — intuitive touch operation works reliably even when wearing gloves, with clear visual feedback for suction level and filter status.
- Antistatic Hose System — included D32/27 x 3.5m antistatic smooth suction hose prevents static charge build-up, reducing clogging and improving dust flow.
- T-LOC Systainer Integration — locks Systainers, pre-separators, or Workcentres directly onto the extractor lid for consolidated transport and storage.
- Integrated Storage — built-in hose holder and cable winder keep the 7.5m mains cable and suction hose neatly stowed, reducing trip hazards on site.
When to Use This Extractor
The CTM 26 EI (577921) is the right choice for tradespeople running Festool cordless tools who want automatic dust extraction without cables between the tool and extractor. The 26-litre capacity suits full-day sanding, sawing, or routing jobs where you need M-class filtration but don’t want the bulk of a 36L or 48L unit. If you’re already in the Festool 18V ecosystem, the built-in Bluetooth is the main reason to choose this over the standard CT 26 — it starts extraction the moment you pull the trigger on your cordless tool.
Pro Tip: Pair the CTM 26 EI with a CT pre-separator (CT-VA 20 or CT-SA) to keep bulk chips out of the main filter bag. This dramatically extends bag life on routing and planing jobs where chip volume is high, and the T-LOC mount stacks it directly onto the extractor for one-piece transport.
