i try to machine all the parts with jointers, planners and connection tools so there is little sanding to save time. after assembly i use my ets 125 mostly starting with 150, 180 and 220 before finish. some times i need to start with 120 but not often. when using the ets 125 i let the tool do all the work so i do not get the round over edges. being in a hurry during finish sanding stages is what gives you round over. i also have the rts 400 for touch up area and ro 90 for mostly inside corners. i build furniture for my children and grand children along with for my wife. bed's, hope chests and cabinets, there is nothing the ets 125 and rts 400 could not handle and has made my finish sanding so much easier since i purchased 9 months ago.

Problem solved for the hard pad, I purchased the RO 90 and exchanged the ETS 125 for the ETS 150 with a hard pad. I loved the ETS 125 but, the 150/3 gave me more flexibility especially after I bought the RO 90.
Now to complete your set you need the RO150.  |

" All I have to do is direct deposit my social security check right to my festool dealer." Please check and see what the minimum deposit is from your dealer! They may require three or more government checks(+90 day waiting period) before you can make any purchases before you have an "open" to buy. Checks clearing and a solid track record may be required before you can draw against you deposit. Just a thought.  |

Yup, a "free" Festool catalog is like those "free" bowls of salty nuts on the bar at happy hour. Ready for another beer, Sir? Sure...give everyone 1 on my tab. |

Thanks for the help. Going to the Somerset, NJ Woodworkers Show tomorrow to buy a Festool sander and had the same questions. Looks like I will go for the ETS 150 and see if I get talked into an RO 150.
Just purchased a CLT 26 E and TS 55 EQ with extra rail and accessory kit. Looks like I have been bitten by the Festool Bug!
