Festool 575039 ETS EC 150 Sander
The Rotex ETS EC 150 is a powerful machine that can tackle tough jobs head-on. This 8-pound dynamo is a powerful piece of equipment. It offers dual-mode options so you can start and finish your projects with the confidence of knowing you’ve got the right tool in your hand. The gear-driven mode allows you to quickly and coarsely grind down excess stock or polish your projects to a smooth finish. The random orbital mode is best for refining. It can handle finer sanding and polishing jobs admirably.
Even with all the power you’ll be bringing to your woodwork, you won’t have to worry about creating too much dust with this orbital sander. Festool’s Jetstream filtering system removes dust particles as you sand to provide a cleaner finish to your projects, a cleaner workstation, and a longer life for your abrasives and pads.
The strength of this sander doesn’t mean it will be too cumbersome for the average home sander to use, though. On the contrary, the ETS EC 150’s relatively compact size and form make it a simple tool to control.
Furthermore, it features multiple grip positions that maximize ergonomic use, no matter the project. This creates a comfortable operating experience. Additionally, this orbital sander comes with a FastFix tool-free pad changing system, MMC electronic controls, soft start, and step-less variable speed control. These features allow you to adjust to and perform any job with minimal hassle.
This is one of the best random orbital sanders for power, but that doesn’t mean it’s an inaccessible tool for amateur woodworkers. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a sander capable of performing fine-tuned woodworking tasks as well as more heavy-duty grading and perfect polishing.
