Midi Filter compared to the HEPA filters on the CT's

[Dan Clermont]

I know the CT's are rated to 0.3 micron what about the Midi and the Mini?

Sure wish Festool would offer HEPA rated filters for the Mini and Midi seeing as how they are good for jobsites and small shops.

I think the Mini and Midi filter down to 1 micron if I recall correctly.

Dan, I have looked, looked, and then looked again, and I cannot find that spec anywhere.  I have to call a technician at FT tomorrow, I will have an answer for you if someone else doesn't beat me.

In the new propaganda sheet it states"...Degree of filtration, Main Filter, 99%  ???  Not quite sure what that means.

Thanks again,

Mr. Dan, the CT Mini/Midi is 99.90% efficient filtering down to 1 micron.  FYI, that is 1/75th the size of a human hair....factoid of the day.  ;D

Thanks Timmy

Wonder if Festool will ever sell the Midi and Mini with a HEPA filter?

Filtering down to 99.90% is pretty impressive (at 1 micron) but it is the really small particles that are dangerous.
