Festool Adds ETS EC Brushless Sanders and Revolutionary Hose

Achieve flawless finishes in less time with the new Festool ETS EC brushless sanders. Equipped with the EC-TEC® Brushless Motor, these low-profile, long-life, and low-vibration sanders can run all day with multiple shifts. Available in a fine 3 mm stroke (ETS EC 125 and ETS EC 150/3) or a broader 5 mm stroke (ETS EC 150/5), these sanders offer the performance of an air sander without the expense and bulk of an air system. These sanders are equipped with innovative features, which include Multi-Jetstream dust extraction, extraction connection signal, electronic active vibration stop, carbide-tipped sanding brakes and much more – making them the ultimate high-demand sanding tools.

Important note: These sanders DO NOT replace the current ETS 125 & ETS 150 sanders. These only further complement the line. The current sanders are still a viable and good option for many customers.

Ergonomic and comfortable

Compact design and ergonomic grip for greater flexibility in all sanding tasks with less user fatigue. Active electronic vibration control system prevents vibrations before they occur and the carbide-tipped pad brake and electronic control allows for smooth start-up to prevent surface marring and near-immediate pad braking.

Effective and long-lasting

Power through the toughest demands with EC TEC brushless motors delivering a constant powerful stream of performance. Exceptional service life for heavy users while providing a smooth workflow and a high degree of efficiency – no downtimes for pad brake or brush replacement.

Efficient and productive
Designed with dust extraction efficiency in mind the new ETS EC sanders integrate seamlessly into the Festool sanding solutions system. In addition they are perfectly compatible with existing Festool abrasives and pads. Boost productivity and profitability with the Festool systems-based approach to surface prep and finishing.

The ETS EC is available at Woodcraft as a 5″ (125 EQ), 6″ (150/3 EQ and 150/5 EQ) sander.

Item #500276 - Antistatic Dust Extraction Hose with Integrated Sleeve

Another outstanding product from Festool is the all new revolutionary hose with sleeve, Item #500276 at Woodcraft.  Resembling an astronaut’s air lifeline, this Antistatic Dust Extraction Hose with integrated sleeve protects the surface and edges of the material being sanded, and comes in a SYS3 Systainer.  Equipped with an integrated Plug It Cord and sleeve, this tapered hose is the ideal partner for the new ETS EC sanders as well as many of Festool’s existing sanders. Integrated 16 AWG Plug It Cord is compatible with many Festool tools. The sleeve shrouds the hose to help prevent the rib of the hose from catching on materials which may damage the surface. The sleeve also allows the hose to easily navigate over edges of work tables for easier work flow while sanding.

When the hose is attached to any Festool HEPA “no bypass leakage”certified CT Dust Extractor, you can be assured that it will protect your health from harmful particles and ensure your air lifeline!

Now that you’ve been introduced to the additional tools by Festool, let’s talk about why Festool products are a great addition to your woodshop or contract business arsenal.
