Using cyclone technology, it separates a large portion of dust and debris before it reaches the mobile dust extractor. This helps reduce load on the main filter, keeps suction performance more consistent and makes disposal of large dust volumes easier. It is ideal for sawing, routing, planing, diamond grinding, renovation milling and other demanding dust-heavy applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eCyclone pre-separation for cleaner, more consistent extraction\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe CT-VA-20 is designed to sit between the power tool and the Festool CT extractor.
