Overview
The Festool RO 90 DX FEQ-Plus Rotex Multi-Mode Sander + CT 26 EI HEPA Dust Extractor Bundle pairs the Festool RO 90 DX FEQ-Plus Rotex Multi-Mode Sander with the Festool CT 26 EI HEPA Dust Extractor, then adds the Festool Granat D90 / V93 Abrasives 160-Piece Value Set Systainer3 and the Festool SELFCLEAN Filter Bags for CT 26, 5-Pack. This is a sander and HEPA dust extraction bundle designed for dust-free sanding of wood, paint, primer, filler and solid surface. Model number 576263-577871-578196-496187.
Buying the pieces as one system means the setup works on day one. The extractor's anti-static suction hose connects to the RO 90 DX's dust port, the Granat D90 / V93 Abrasives 160-Piece Value Set Systainer3 loads the sander with 160 Granat abrasives, round D90 and delta V93, in four grits from P60 through P180, and the five spare SELFCLEAN bags are sized for the CT 26, so you are not shopping for consumables the first week.
Festool RO 90 DX FEQ-Plus Rotex Multi-Mode Sander
The Festool 576263 RO 90 DX FEQ-Plus Rotex Sander is a compact multi-mode sander built for pros who need one tool to handle rough stock removal, finish sanding, corner work, and polishing. This is a multi-mode sander designed for aggressive material removal, finish sanding, detail sanding, and polishing. Model Number 576263. If you work on cabinetry, trim, painted surfaces, or detailed woodworking, this tool matters because it cuts down the number of sanders you need on the bench or in the van.
What makes the RO 90 different is the way it moves between jobs. In ROTEX gear-driven mode, it removes material fast for stripping finishes or flattening rough areas. Switch to random orbital mode and it becomes a finish sander for cleaner, more controlled surface prep. Swap to the delta pad and it gets into corners, edges, and tight spots that a round pad cannot reach. Add polishing accessories and it can also handle finish polishing on the right surfaces.
The pad change is a big part of the appeal here. Festool's FastFix setup lets you switch from the 3.5 inch round pad to the V93 delta pad without tools, so the machine stays useful when the work changes. On real projects, that means you can sand an open field, move right into a corner, then come back for finish passes without grabbing another corded sander. For furniture work, built-ins, window sash work, stair parts, and trim repairs, that kind of flexibility saves real time.
This sander is also built like a serious shop and jobsite tool. Festool calls out tough construction, and the sealed metal gearbox is designed for hard use in dusty conditions. The compact body and multiple grip positions give you good control when you're working on edges, curved parts, or vertical surfaces. At 3.3 lbs, it stays manageable for overhead work and longer sanding sessions where a bulkier machine would wear you out.
Dust collection is one of the reasons people buy into Festool in the first place, and the RO 90 leans into that. The integrated extraction and Jetstream airflow design help pull dust away from the surface, which keeps the abrasive cutting longer and helps you see what you're doing. Hooked up to a Festool dust extractor, it becomes a much cleaner sanding setup for finish work indoors, especially when you're dealing with paint, varnish, or fine sanding passes where leftover dust can ruin the surface.
Festool also added the jobsite details that matter. The edge protector helps you work up against adjacent surfaces without scuffing them, which is useful around finished trim, face frames, and panel edges. MMC electronics add soft start, stepless variable speed control, constant speed under load, and overload protection. In plain terms, the sander starts smoother, stays more consistent while working, and gives you better control when you move from heavy sanding to polishing or finish prep.
As part of the Festool system, the RO 90 DX FEQ-Plus works with the Plug-It removable power cord and fits neatly into the included SYS3 M 187 Systainer for transport and storage. It also fits the way many Festool users already work: one connected system of tools, dust extraction, abrasives, and storage. If you already run Festool extractors or organize your kit in Systainers, this sander drops right into that workflow without adding clutter.
Who should buy it? This is a smart choice for finish carpenters, cabinet installers, furniture builders, remodelers, painters doing prep work, and serious DIY users who want pro-level control in a compact sander. If most of your sanding happens on large flat panels only, a dedicated larger random orbital sander may be faster. But if your work constantly moves between flat surfaces, profiles, edges, and corners, the RO 90 earns its keep fast.
Festool CT 26 EI HEPA Dust Extractor
The Festool 577871 CLEANTEC CT 26 EI HEPA Dust Extractor is a professional jobsite and workshop dust extractor built for cleaner cutting, sanding, and general cleanup. This is a dust extractor designed for dry and wet extraction with tool-triggered operation. Model Number 577871. If you already run Festool saws, sanders, or cordless tools, this unit is built to act like the center of that system instead of just being a vacuum parked in the corner.
What makes the CT 26 EI matter is how it combines usable capacity with real mobility. The 6.9 gal (26 liter) container gives you nearly 7 gallons of room, but the machine still keeps compact dimensions at 25 inches long, 14 inches wide, and 22 inches high. That balance is a big deal on the job because larger extractors can be a pain to move, while smaller ones fill too quickly. Festool landed in the sweet spot here for cabinet work, remodeling, finish carpentry, and shop use.
Suction performance is strong where it counts. The high-performance turbine delivers up to 138 CFM and up to 96 inches of static water lift, which means it can keep up with dust collection at the tool while also handling cleanup duties. The five-level suction adjustment matters just as much as the max number. Being able to back the suction down helps when you are working with sanders or on surfaces where too much pull can fight the tool.
The control layout is more practical than old-school dial-and-switch setups. Festool uses push-button touch controls for straightforward operation, and the extractor supports automatic tool-triggered start for corded power tools. On the cordless side, the built-in Bluetooth interface lets the extractor start automatically with compatible Festool Bluetooth battery packs or an optional remote. That saves steps, keeps dust collection active when it should be, and makes the machine feel like part of the workflow instead of a separate task to manage.
Festool also paid attention to the stuff that usually gets ignored until it annoys you. The anti-static smooth suction hose is designed to reduce snagging and static buildup. The integrated hose holder and cord wrap keep the setup from turning into a mess in the van or at the end of the day. Large wheels make it easier to roll over thresholds and rougher surfaces, while the integrated brake helps keep the extractor from wandering when the hose gets tugged.
As a system machine, the CT 26 EI is set up to do more than collect dust. T-LOC compatibility allows Systainers to attach on top, and it also works as a base for other Festool workflow add-ons like the Pre-separator or Workcenter. That is useful if you want one mobile station carrying the extractor and the tools or accessories needed for the task. In a small shop or a punch-list van, that kind of stackable setup saves space fast.
Filtration is another reason buyers step up to this model. It includes a HEPA main filter plus a SELFCLEAN filter bag, so you are starting with a setup aimed at fine dust control rather than bare-minimum debris pickup. For trades working indoors, especially around finish work, sanding dust, or occupied spaces, that matters. Cleaner air and cleaner floors mean less time on cleanup and less dust spreading through the room you just worked in.
Who should buy it? Pros who want a serious dust extraction setup that works in the shop and on install work. It makes sense for woodworking, finish carpentry, remodeling, interior renovation, and anyone already invested in Festool tools and Systainers. If you just need a basic cleanup vacuum, this is more machine than you need. If you want a dust extractor that integrates into how you actually work, the CT 26 EI is the right kind of upgrade.
Festool Granat D90 / V93 Abrasives 160-Piece Value Set Systainer3
The Festool 578196 Granat RO 90 / DX93 Abrasives D90 / V93 160-Piece Value Set Systainer3 is a sanding abrasive set built around Festool's SYS3 storage system. This is an abrasives set designed for sanding paint, clear coats, fillers, plastics, hard substrates, and finish surfaces with the RO 90 DX. Model Number: 578196. If you already run a Festool RO 90 DX and want both round and delta abrasives in the grits you actually use, this kit gives you a clean starting point without piecing everything together one sleeve at a time.
What makes this set useful is the mix. You are getting 20 each of D90 round abrasives and 20 each of V93 delta abrasives in P60, P80, P120, and P180, for a total of 160 pieces. That spread covers rougher removal at P60, general prep at P80, cleaner intermediate work at P120, and finer finish steps at P180. For painters, finish carpenters, cabinet installers, and woodworkers, that means fewer interruptions when the job moves from stripping or leveling into surface prep and final sanding.
Festool SELFCLEAN Filter Bags for CT 26, 5-Pack
The Festool SC FIS-CT 26/5 SELFCLEAN Filter Bag is a replacement filter bag pack for Festool CT 26 dust extractors. This is a dust extractor filter bag designed for collecting fine dust and debris while helping the vacuum maintain strong airflow. Model Number 496187. If you run a CT 26 in the shop or on site, this is the bag setup that makes the extractor work the way it is supposed to.
Who should buy this bundle? Finishers, cabinetmakers, painters and remodelers who sand indoors and want the dust in the bag, not on the floor or in the air. The CT 26 EI is the middle option, with a 6.9 gal (26 L) container and 138 CFM of airflow, balancing capacity and mobility for shop and jobsite work.
Handle Flat Surfaces and Tight Corners

The delta pad is what separates this sander from a standard round random orbital. When the job moves into corners or along narrow edges, you can keep working instead of finishing by hand.
- Tool-free switch from round pad to V93 delta pad
- Built for corners, crevices, edges, and detail sanding
- Useful for trim, cabinets, window work, and furniture parts
Cleaner Cutting With Less Chasing Dust

When you connect the extractor to a saw or sander, the payoff is not just a cleaner floor. You keep more dust at the source, which helps with visibility, finish quality, and cleanup time at the end of the job.
- Up to 138 CFM max airflow for strong extraction at the tool
- HEPA filtration and a SELFCLEAN filter bag are included
Remove Stock Fast Without Giving Up Control

ROTEX mode is for the part of the job where you need the tool to actually move material. It is the setting you want for stripping finishes, leveling rough spots, or knocking down stock before the final passes.
- Gear-driven mode is designed for fast material removal
- Random orbital mode follows for finer surface prep
- Compact format helps on curved and awkward workpieces
Keep Grits Sorted and Ready

This set is built to cut the usual sanding mess out of your workflow. Instead of hunting through sleeves or mixed boxes, each grit and shape has its own spot in the Systainer.
- Eight compartments keep D90 round and V93 delta abrasives separated
- Grit range includes P60, P80, P120, and P180 for prep through finish work
Built for a Cleaner Festool Workflow

This sander makes the most sense when you use it as part of the full Festool setup. Dust extraction, removable power cord, and organized storage all work together to keep sanding cleaner and setup faster.
- Integrated dust extraction with Jetstream airflow design
- 13 ft Plug-It power cord swaps between compatible Festool tools
- Stepless variable speed helps with sanding and polishing control
Built To Move Around Real Jobsites

The CT 26 EI is sized for real work, not showroom specs. It carries a 6.9 gal (26 liter) container without getting too bulky to load, roll, or park next to a workstation.
- 25 in x 14 in x 22 in footprint keeps capacity manageable
- Large wheels and an integrated brake help mobility and stability

Pro Tip
Use ROTEX mode for the ugly part of the job first, then switch to random orbital mode before your final grit steps. That keeps the RO 90 moving material fast up front without leaving you stuck doing extra cleanup later.
