Key Features
Keeps Suction UpFine dust can cake inside a standard bag and choke off airflow. The self-cleaning fleece design helps the Festool CT MINI dust extractor hold suction longer as the bag fills. Fleece, Not PaperThe pliable fleece material resists tearing and reduces the caking you get with rigid paper bags. That means better bag volume use and less mess when it is time to swap one out. Five-Bag PackThis Festool filter bag pack gives you five replacement bags in one box, so you can keep your dust extractor ready instead of stretching one overloaded bag too far.
Overview
The Festool 498410 Self-Cleaning Filter Bags for CT MINI Dust Extractor, 5-Pack is a replacement dust extractor bag set for Festool CT MINI units. This is a dust extractor filter bag designed for collecting fine dust and debris while helping maintain consistent suction. Model Number 498410. If you run a CT MINI on sanding, cutting, or cleanup work, these bags matter because they are built to use more of the bag volume before suction drops off.
The main advantage here is the SELFCLEAN fleece material. During normal use, fine dust sticks to the inside of many bags and starts to cake up. That buildup cuts airflow and makes the extractor feel weak before the bag is actually full. Festool built these bags with a pliable fleece construction that reduces that caking effect, so the extractor can keep pulling harder deeper into the bag fill cycle.
These bags also work as a pre-filter. Festool states they trap particles down to 5 microns, which helps protect the main HEPA filter from extra wear. In real terms, that means less dust reaching the primary filter, less strain on the extractor, and fewer filter changes over time. The integrated closure is another practical detail that matters on the job because it helps seal the opening during disposal instead of dumping dust back into the room or your van.
For build and handling, this is a straightforward consumable accessory, but the material choice is what separates it from bargain paper-style bags. The fleece is designed to be durable and tear resistant, which helps prevent blowouts and the cleanup that comes with them. Festool also notes the bags are FSC-certified, which will matter to buyers who pay attention to sourcing standards.
These replacement bags are the right pick for Festool users who want their CT MINI dust extractor performing the way it should on fine-dust work. They make the most sense for woodworking, finish carpentry, remodeling, and shop cleanup where airflow consistency matters. If you own a compatible CT MINI, this is the correct type of consumable to keep on hand instead of treating dust bags like an afterthought.
Cleaner Bag Changes, Better Dust Control
A good dust extractor is only as useful as the bag inside it. This bag is built to reduce clogging from fine dust, protect the main filter, and make disposal less messy when the workday is done.

Pro Tip
If your extractor suddenly feels weak on fine sanding dust, do not assume the main filter is the problem first. A bag packed with caked dust is often the real airflow killer, and this SELFCLEAN fleece design is meant to delay that drop-off.
