In this one I’m taking a first look at the Festool ETS EC 150/5* a 150mm or 6 inch random orbital sander with a 5mm stroke or orbit, and I also give an overview of this sander category as it stands now, late February/early March 2024. Enjoy!
*In the interests of transparency I haven’t purchased this ETS EC, it’s on loan from Festool UK @FestoolGB for six months, and thanks so much to Festool UK for letting me have extended hands-on with the sander.

Great video Peter. Happy to see more videos about Festool.

@martinholsten9446

Best sander I've ever owned 👍 Had mine around 3 years now. Great piece of kit 💪

@philipwilliams8114

This video hits your sweet spot. Great to have the good stuff back. Proper tools + experience + cerebral insight. 10MW dynamite

@jamesl5149

Hello Peter, you'll be glad to hear you are now successfully in my RU-vid feed after the hiatus!

@andyc972

Thanks Peter, always interested to hear what you think of different products !

@HawkXe

Great timing! I just got mine delivered yesterday along with a CT 36!

@CrookedSkew

Thanks for another educational and well-balanced video.

@michaelburton4521

Thanks Peter

@DESX312

I just got my own ETS EC 150/5 about a month ago.

@mururoa7024

I bought the same a several years ago and I love it. I recently sanded 50 years worth of paint layers off the walls of a large room with P40 grit in a couple of hours. It's so light and comfortable I wasn't even tired. I use a softer pad for doing walls.

@thomasfholland

Damn! You did it again! Another excellent video with lots of important information for new buyers.

@TomasRosberg

Had mine for a few years and it's been great, togeyher with the festool dust extractor its a great tool. The dust collection is just fantastic, you van turn the vacuum speed to minimum for the higher grits to avoid squiggly marks and it still captures most of the dust... If i coyld only own one festool piece if kit, this would be it

@Sol-hl2rj

I totally agree that Festool should include at least 2 each of the most commonly used grits in Granat with their sanders.

@mtnbikerJoe

My ETC EC 150/5 is being delivered today. Can't wait to open the box and test it out

Hello and thank you for your videos- We watched your other Bosch vs Festool 3 part series too. I am just a do-it-yourself homeowner - I have 25 year old plywood with maple veneer kitchen cabinet boxes and curly maple cabinet doors that I am refinishing. They were never stained but just had a polyurethane coating which had turned dark with age and had started to scuff away and chip quite a lot over the years. I used a chemical stripper to take off all the finish on the doors and on the base shelf areas of the cabinet boxes. I then bought the Festool RTS 400 and used that to sand all the cabinet doors first with 120 and then 150. I have been using their mesh sandpaper. I then hand sanded at 150 with the Festool hand sanding block. I hook the power sander and hand sanding block to the CT-15 dust extractor. I now have to sand many areas of the cabinet boxes- the largest section that will need to be sanded is a continuous area of the backs of 4 cabinet boxes that are screwed into each other. None of these cabinet boxes have been stripped using a chemical stripper so I have to use a sander to take the finish off. Once again, these boxes are plywood with maple veneer. I can get the finish off with the 120 mesh sandpaper and RTS 400 sander but not sure if I should buy the ETS EC sander for this purpose or continue using the RTS 400 as I did for the cabinet doors that were previously stripped. I also did not use a chemical stripper on the cabinet plywood shelves and just sanded off the old finish with the RTS 400. It took quite long but It worked. I am not a regular woodworker but I wanted to do the best that I could with my own limited skillset. Love to hear your thoughts on whether I should buy the ETS EC sander for the cabinet boxes or continue using the RTS 400. I'm a bit lost and thought Id ask you for your advice. I'm afraid that the random orbit ETS EC sander will go through the veneer. Thanks a ton again...

@bigbob9702

I bought mine last summer. Best sander I’ve ever used. You’re correct about only needing 2 sander’s if this is one of them.

@amwoodshopni

Bought my 3mm version last week. Love it

@RUM123

Pretty cool. One of my first purchases was the ETS EC 150/3. I may have to pick one of these up eventually for the stroke. I have the 150 Rotex, but it's not really suited for delicate work.

@shaun30-3-mg9zs

Hi Peter, A good honest review on the Festool ETS 150/5 looks a good sander, I do use a Black and Decker "mouse" sander I do like it and a B & D orbital and a Bosch orbital sander both of them are good. As always a great video Take care

@aapoapina7390

I've used that exact sander for 8 years now at work. Sometimes hours a day and the button is actually better for longer sanding sessions than pedal like mirka has. Still both are great sanders
