Festool CT Cyclone My Thoughts After A Year And 4 Months

[@milosjugovic469]

Hello, just to correct you regarding the attachment of the cyclone to the vacuum cleaner. You are wrong about the T Lock mounting, in order to attach and mount the cyclone to the T Lock, you need to return the four green clips to their seats, and then you can use the T Lock, (finger on the forehead, how other systainer suitcases are attached to each other) Cheers

Thanks for the correction. I am going to try that. And I will report back.

@@daddysharespaceWhat did you come up with?

Just my opinion I think the CT Cyclone would save your HEPA filter from plugging up. I have been grinding an expansion joint inside my home. Had to rent a large dual grinder machine . My Festool MIDI could not keep up with the dust left on floor from this monster machine. I realize if I had a AC36 Festool vacuum it would have kept up. I am picking up a CT Cyclone unit this week anyway.

I agree that is why I purchased it.

So......... does the Cyclone fit on the CT Midi. I am wondering as the port for the house is in a different location.

Video coming tomorrow.

You’ll get approx 66 midi bags for the price of the cyclone. I guess it all comes down to how often you fill a bag. 66 Bags is a lot tho.

I never did the math, however after dropping over a grand on the dust extractor itself the last thing I wanted to think about was bags. Lol.

[@carbb5760]

Ya I did the math on it. I fill about 10 midi bags per year. Also it’s a pita to haul around the cyclone and you have to dump it out instead of just tossing the bag. For me it diddnt really make sense to buy

[@daddysharespace]

10 bags a year is not much at all. The volume seems so low. By volume I mean volume of the bag.

[@carbb5760]

@@daddysharespace 150L of tightly compacted dust is a lot imo, filling close to 1L per day. When the bags fill it’s like a brick.

[@daddysharespace]

Nice. I am going to give the bags a shot.
