Sudden dissapointment with CT26

[sgt_rjp]

I got a CT26 from the refurb sale last year.  Although I was never blown away by the suction, I figured it was fine.  But, I just bought a Mini and it blows my CT26 out of the water.  I was doing similar cuts with a TS55R connected to the CT26 and my Mafell KSS300 hooked to the Mini.  Even though the KSS isn't an enclosed saw, there was next to no dust.  I've got to do some more testing to determine if the problem is the TS or the CT, but I've got to assume it's the CT.

I take it you've checked the filters also checked the hoses for blockages

Someone may correct me, but i'm pretty sure the suction on all the dust extractors is he same; the only difference is the filter capacity/size.  Might be something wrong with your ct26.  ???

Yup something wrong with the CT26

 

[wow]

Did you check the hose for a dead gerbil, hamster, or whatever other small rodent is indigenous to your area?

I had a noticable loss of suction on my CT36, did all the normal checks for blocked hose plugged filters and bag was only partially filled. It was the new fabric bags and I remembered we had to empty it and reuse until we got new bags. This vac sees mainly sanding with domino use and router use. Replaced the bag and suction went back to great.
