I'm impatiently waiting for October 1st so I can order a new ETS EC 150/3 finishing sander and I've decided I'd like to take advantage of the 10% discount and purchase a CT dust extractor as well. Having no prior experience with Festool's dust extractors, I have a few questions I'd like to pose to my fellow Festoolians.
I notice all the CT's (with the sole exception of the 36 AC) come with a 27mm hose, but the dust ports on my existing Festool tools (Domino DF500, TS 55 REQ and Carvex PS 420) are all different sizes. Does the CT come with adapters for the different size dust ports or do I have to purchase them separately?
My household vacuum has a light that comes on when it's time to replace the filter bag. Does the CT have any indicator as to when to change the filter bag or do you just check the bag every now and then to determine when the bag needs replacing?
Since the CT 48 filter bag has almost double the capacity of the CT 26 filter bag, it appears that the CT 48 is actually the more economical choice over the long run when considering the additional cost of replacement filter bags. Anyone disagree with this logic? if so, why?
Are there differences with accessory options among the CT models that I need to be aware of?
Any other additional advice as to which CT to purchase would be greatly appreciated. I work exclusively in my shop, so portability is not a factor.
Thanks.
