Festool ETS 125 REQ
The versatile ETS 125 has our finest sanding stroke at 5/64" (2.0 mm), and is the ideal one-handed machine for maximum surface quality when finishing or pre-sanding. Compact in size and weighing only 2.4 lbs., the ETS 125 is perfect for sanding vertical surfaces and for doing overhead work. Technical features such as the sanding pad brake and Vibration-stop balancing put the ETS 125 in a category of its own.
I found this small sander to be a very good finishing sander and have used it now for about a month. I was able to finish off a couple of projects that I had and was waiting to get a better sander to do finishing sanding as the sander I had was too robust and left a lot of sanding marks whereas the ETS 125 REQ was able to get rid of any marks and do a smooth surface so I could apply the stain and finish to my project. I really like the light weight of the sander and the way it gets rid of any blemishes in the wood I was working with on my project.
Thanks for the thorough review Charles! Good points discussed.
Great variety and fair pricing.
Very comfortable to use. Great dust extraction
This material is a game-changer in the world laser engraving! The quality of the plywood is exceptional, with a perfectly smooth, perfectly flat surface (no surprise here) that makes it a joy to work with. The finish feels a little plastic, but I understand it’s an acrylic coating over the maple fibre, which I love. Even laser-fog burn marks wipe off with a damp cloth — no masking needed. The maple grain is pronounced and it cuts cleanly and sands beautifully. 100% will purchase again.
These work well with my Festool 125 RO in the fine mode as they leave no sanding marks compared to non festool discs.
Very satisfied....the oak grain was beautiful...milling was A1 and glued together with no problems....will buy from here again
