Anyone need, top plastic piece w/hand pad labeled "5" for ETS 150/5?

[Steve R]

Okay, long story short bought the two ETS 150/3 last year. One day I noticed that my my second ETS 150/3 had the top piece from a "5"  [eek]. This spring in a talk with Christian at Festool I told him about this. Next thing you know he has me send pictures to make sure I really have the "3" I wanted. He then sent me the correct replacement top for the "3" at no cost and didn't ask for the old part back.

I'm not sure but I think someone in Germany had to sit in the corner for a day, repeating to themselves.... "a 3 gets a 3, a 5 gets a 5"  [sad]

The result is I have this very little used "5" part. To keep the Festool Karma going. If you have a broken "5" and that needs replacement send me a picture of your damaged one and I will send you this part. I will pay shipping in US. or Canada if less than $7.  If you need it FedExed... you sand way too much [poke].

very funny [big grin].

is this just a cosmetic piece or does it do anything different from the newer one you got

 

[Steve R]

Well... as I said the new one says "3" on it as it should on my ETS150/3.  The sander worked fine with the 5 cosmetic  top, yes it was just cosmetic to the point that if you know Festool and looked down and needed a "5" like it said you might mess up your project as it was a "3" in reality.

The part is cosmetic if you drop it and it breaks then you might think more than cosmetic.
