Festool Mx - A Dust Extraction Attachment For Mx Stirrers 27/36mm

Overview

Festool MX - A Dust Extraction Attachment for MX Stirrers 27/36mm At a Glance: Genuine Festool MX - A dust extraction attachment designed to capture airborne dust directly at the mixing bucket when pouring and stirring powdered building materials. Features a convenient bucket-rim clamping system, 27mm and 36mm dust extraction hose compatibility and a practical design that fits most conventional mixing buckets. Suitable for use with Festool MX stirrers and compatible CTL/CTM 26, 36 and 48 mobile dust extractors. Professional mixing should not mean working in a cloud of dust! The Festool MX - A Dust Extraction Attachment brings effective dust control directly to the mixing bucket, helping to create a cleaner, healthier and more productive working environment when preparing powdered construction materials. Whether mixing tile adhesive, plaster, levelling compounds, fillers or other powdered building materials, one of the dustiest stages of the process occurs before the actual mixing begins. As dry powder is poured from a bag into a mixing bucket, fine particles can become airborne, spreading throughout the surrounding workspace and creating unnecessary dust exposure. The Festool MX - A addresses this problem with a simple but highly effective solution. The attachment clips directly onto the rim of the mixing bucket and connects to a compatible Festool mobile dust extractor using a 27mm or 36mm extraction hose. Once the extractor is running, airborne dust generated during filling is captured close to its source, before it can spread throughout the working area. Dust extraction continues during the stirring process, helping to control airborne particles that may be released as the powder and liquid combine. This makes the MX - A particularly useful for professional tilers, plasterers, painters, flooring installers, drywall contractors and renovation specialists who regularly prepare powdered materials on site. One of the greatest advantages of the MX - A is its simplicity. There are no complicated installation procedures or permanent modifications to the mixing bucket. Simply position the attachment on a suitable bucket rim, secure it, connect the extraction hose and switch on the dust extractor before adding the powdered material. The attachment is designed to fit most conventional mixing buckets, offering excellent flexibility when working with different products and mixing quantities. Because the extraction unit remains attached to the bucket rather than the stirrer itself, it provides a practical dust collection point without requiring a special mixing paddle. By reducing airborne dust at the source, the Festool MX - A helps improve working conditions, minimise dust deposits on nearby surfaces and reduce the time spent cleaning the work area after mixing. It is a small accessory that can make a significant difference to everyday site efficiency. Dust Control Begins Before Mixing The Festool MX - A is specifically developed to reduce dust exposure during the preparation of powdered building materials. Instead of waiting until dust has spread throughout the workspace, the attachment captures airborne particles close to the point where they are generated. Its bucket-mounted extraction arrangement is particularly effective during the initial filling process, when dry powder is poured into a mixing container. Connected to a suitable Festool dust extractor, the attachment draws airborne material away from the operator and into the extractor's filtration system. Dust extraction can remain active during stirring, helping to control additional airborne particles and maintain a cleaner working environment. The result: Less airborne dust, reduced contamination of surrounding surfaces, improved working conditions and less time spent cleaning up after the job. Product Highlights • Dust Extraction at the Source: Captures airborne particles directly at the mixing bucket during the pouring and stirring of powdered materials. • Effective During Filling: Begins extracting dust as soon as dry material is poured into the bucket, helping to prevent large dust clouds from forming. • Simple Bucket-Rim Attachment: Clips onto the edge of a suitable mixing bucket without requiring complicated installation or permanent modifications. • 27mm and 36mm Hose Connections: Designed for compatible Festool extraction hoses with nominal diameters of 27mm and 36mm. • Compatible with Festool MX Stirrers: Developed to complement the Festool MX mixing system. • Fits Most Mixing Buckets: Practical attachment design accommodates most conventional buckets with suitable rim profiles. • Cleaner Working Conditions: Helps reduce airborne dust and deposits on surrounding floors, walls, tools and equipment. • Reduced Cleaning Time: Capturing dust during material preparation helps minimise additional cleaning work after mixing. • Improved Dust Management: Supports safer working practices when used with a correctly selected dust extractor and appropriate protective equipment. • Convenient and Portable: Easily transferred between suitable mixing buckets and different work locations. • Original Festool Accessory: Designed as part of Festool's professional stirring and dust extraction system.

Compatibility Note The MX - A attaches to the mixing bucket , not directly to the stirrer motor or mixing paddle. It can therefore be used alongside different Festool MX stirrers without needing a dedicated mounting point on the machine. The attachment is designed to fit most conventional mixing buckets. Bucket rim shape, thickness and construction can influence compatibility. Check that the attachment can be mounted securely before use. The dust extractor and extraction hose are required for operation and are supplied separately.
