Festool DL CT 26/36/48 Compressed Air Module
At a Glance: Compressed air module for CT 26/36/48 E dust extractors, adding automatic on/off control for compressed-air tools
The Festool DL CT 26/36/48 compressed air module upgrades compatible Festool CT mobile dust extractors for use with compressed-air tools. Once fitted, the module allows the extractor to start automatically when a compressed-air sander is activated, giving the user a cleaner and more convenient sanding workflow. It is a smart system addition for workshops and professional users who work with pneumatic sanding tools and want dust extraction to respond automatically without walking back to the extractor every time.
This module is designed for upgrading compatible E model mobile dust extractors. It adds a compressed-air automatic on/off switching mechanism, allowing the extractor to start when the connected compressed-air tool is used and stop again when the tool is switched off.
