This guy is the calmest video presenter ever!
Simple concise, & covering more of the Festool sanders than any other TH-cam review. Great job!
This is extremely helpful, thank you all for putting it together!
Absolutely wonderful and clear explanation. The one stick I have with the sanders is the on off switch it is very unuser friendly.
I'm developing an addiction to Festool. I find myself wanting tools that I have no need for, but somehow a justification will come to mind, and I'll make another purchase. Thanks for the demonstration on the sanders!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Slippery slope ,enjoy the ride and happy Wood working.
The is the most useful video on the different festool sanders I’ve found!
Thank you so much!
Excellent explanation, no bullcrap. Thanks!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
excellent informative video, thank you
Great review...Thank you!
This was the clearest video I’ve watched on explaining all the Festool differences. Really well done. Thank you. Which of the Festool sanders would be the closest to “regular/common” ROS, such as, Makita BO5041, Milwaukee M18 cordless sander, Dewalt 6423 etc?
Sorry for the delay, missed this question! The ETS 125 would be the closest: kjpselecthardwoods.com/collections/all/products/random-orbital-sander-ets-125-feq-plus
Great overview
I got my one in 06 good 2 work with last a long time they have a high cost but well worth it
Very helpful thanks!
Rotex 90 is great for sanding Aussie rough sawn 70mmx35mm hardwood studs insitu.
I wanted to sand weatherboards to prepare the surface, which sander would you recommend
Thank you for sharing!!!
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Man… this is so clearly presented for all us newbies… to the woodworking world!!! I wish Woodcraft would do this, they have the information but confusing as HELL.
Thank you Gerald! So glad you enjoyed it. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to send us an email and we can answer them all for you quickly.
this was the EXACT video i was looking for
Great to hear! Thanks George
Which sander do you recommend for sand Fiberglass boat work?
Can you recommend which model to get for woodworking involving epoxy resin table sanding ?
If you were a fine woodworking shop that was doing hardwood furniture and both stain grade and paint grade cabinets, which two sanders would you recommend someone purchase?
Thanks . I would like to actually see them work taking finishes off
Yes this was a great video for sure! Thank you...I am in the furniture restoration and painting industry. I see many of my peers with Surfprep and the Festool. Trying to see which is best option for me. I do love the sponge, I do many pieces with curves and molds, that the plus on the SP. I heard you comment about getting the option of a triangle RO 90 DX FEQPLUS. Was that correct? I need to get into corners and I need to be able to get in contours and molds without destroying them. Will this tool work?
Yes - the 90mm Rotex has the triangle (Delta) shaped pad you can easily switch out with no tools required. Very handy!
That was perfect
thanks for a good video
Thank you, Bill!
Looking for a ets ec 150. When would you recommend a 3 or 5 mm stroke? I'll only be sanding wood but not sure what the positives or negatives are of a 3 vs 5 mm stroke.
There are no real negatives to either. Some people like the 3mm if they do mostly finishing. We like the 5mm, as it's more versatile and the sander pad moves more so it does more work for you. You can't go wrong with either choice!
Great video... Just need now to understand what a "Sanding stroke" is...
Basically the larger the stroke, the faster the feed rate is and therefore the material is removed at a faster rate
I have a ETS EC 150/5 EQ sander, but don't have the dust extractor right now... can I use a Long-life Dust Collection Bag with it? Will it fit? Great video btw!
Thanks Cecilia! Yes - that will work
@@kjpselecthardwoodsonline omg thank you for your quick response! I've been hesitant about it and all I've read says I shouldn't use any dust bag... but sometimes I can't bring the extractor with me. Does it have any impact on performance or the motor? Thanks!
Happy to help! No impact on the motor. Just not as efficient dust extraction as using a machine
@KJPSelectHardwoods Just to kinda branch off this question, does that 99.7% efficience rate mean just using the festool dust extractor? Or will they work just a plain jane shop vac with hepa bag and hepa filter?
which one has the thicker pads that can contour to beveled edges like on door casings that aren't flat? painter here...
Out of the box, Festool sanders come with a soft backing pad, generally intended for flat sanding but there are accessories available that greatly improve sanding for finer details. The first accessories to consider are the interchangeable backing pads. Backing pads come in 3 different hardnesses to suit different applications. The soft and hard pads are intended for flat sanding applications. The ultra soft backing pad can be utilized for sanding gentle curves (ie autobody work).
The most effective accessory for finer detail sanding is the interface pad. A thicker foam pad that works with the hoop and loop feature on your sander.
We sell backing pads in all three hardnesses and Interface pads for all sizes of festool circular sanders ( 90mm, 125mm and 150mm diameters ).
@@kjpselecthardwoodsonline I am seriously considered purchasing one because I do a lot of sanding and I'm tired of the physical work behind the sanding and the dust that accumulates especially when trying to get a perfect finish
@@nothingsimpostleble1593 Absolutely - they really are a game changer. Let us know if you have any other questions
Does the sander comes with the vacuum or that is separate? Thank you in advance!
Hi Mark - the dust extractors are sold separately: kjpselecthardwoods.com/collections/dust-extraction
KJP Select Hardwoods thank you so much Mark!!
That was a tree when he started doing demonstrations last year.
Buy the Bosch GET75-6N at half the price for a better tool
This may offend the Festool cult, but Mirka sanders are simply the best.....better than all the rest....
Good luck with their whole tool system. I mean sanders.
And paying a lot more
Why the hell did you put a question on the title and not even answer it in the video?
He gave you examples on which sanders are great for what applications. For example, he mentioned how the triangle sander and the RO90 are great for stair work, box applications, tight corners, etc. Does he really need to hold your hand?
None of them, not for the prices they sell them at. I have a DeWalt and Makita that does the exact same thing....sands wood.
You obviously do know better.
Wow, that scientific fact just saved me 600$...🙄
no need to repeat the difference between the 6 inch and 5 inch is the % surface area covered and that it is good for larger projects - that is not useful after the first mention and detracts from your comparison overall.
