Dust control isn't just about keeping the site tidy; it's about protecting your lungs and keeping your tools running clean. Festool dust extractors are built for tradies and serious DIYers who need serious suction power that won't quit when the job gets messy. Whether you're running sanders, routers, or track saws, these units keep dust where it belongs: in the bag, not in your airways.
The range covers everything from compact cordless vacuum units for quick clean-ups to full-size H class vacuum systems for heavy dust loads. The midi vacuum models hit the sweet spot for most trades; powerful enough for serious extraction but still portable enough to move around the site easily. Each unit comes with vacuum attachments designed to connect seamlessly with your existing gear.
What sets these apart is the filtration system. M class vacuum models handle standard dust, while H class vacuum units are rated for hazardous dust like silica. The vacuum bags are engineered to work with the extraction system, and you can even grab reusable vacuum bags to cut down on running costs. The vacuum head design ensures maximum pickup, whether you're working with a sander and vacuum combo or running standalone extraction.

Festool dust extractor FAQs
What's the difference between M class and H class dust extractors?
M class units handle standard construction dust like wood, plaster, and general debris with 99.9% filtration efficiency. H class systems are designed for hazardous dust, including silica, asbestos, and other harmful particles, with 99.995% filtration efficiency. If you're cutting concrete, grinding, or working with materials that create silica dust, you'll need the H class rating for safety compliance.
Do vacuum bags fit all models?
No, vacuum bags are model-specific based on the extractor size and type. Each model uses a different bag size; midi units use a different bag than full-size extractors. Always check your model number when ordering replacement bags. The reusable vacuum bags are also model-specific, but can save money over time if you do regular clean-up work.
Can I use a cordless vacuum for tool extraction?
The cordless vacuum models are great for quick clean-ups and light dust collection, but they don't have the sustained suction power needed for continuous tool extraction. For running sanders, routers, or saws with dust extraction, you'll want a corded midi or full-size unit that can maintain consistent suction throughout the job.
What vacuum attachments come with the extractors?
Most units include basic vacuum attachments like crevice tools and brush heads, but the real value is in the tool-specific connections. These let you hook directly to sanders, saws, and routers for seamless dust extraction. You can also grab additional vacuum head options for different applications: wide heads for floor work, narrow heads for detail cleaning.
How often should I change the filters?
Filter replacement depends on usage and dust type, but generally, you'll want to check them every few months with regular use. Heavy dust work might need monthly changes, while light use can go longer. Clean filters maintain suction power and protect the motor. When you notice reduced suction or see dust getting past the filter, it's time for a replacement filter.
