ETS 125

[dseamon]

I have the Festool ETS 125 which as you know is the 5 inch sander.  I can only find Abranet - Abralon H&L Sanding Discs for 1500, 2000, 3000 and 4000 grits in the 6 inch pads and can't find any, or any alternative, for the 5 inch sander I have.  I've tried the 6 inch pads on my sander but it rounds over the edge too much.  Do you know of a source of equivalent 5 inch pads in these high grits? Or is there an adapter to allow me to use the 6 inch pads on my 5 inch sander?  Thanks

I don't know if it's available in the States, but in Holland Festool sells Platin 2 in 125mm @ 1000, 2000 and 4000.

The only one I know is called a pair of scissors.

Platin 2 is available for the 5" sander in S400, 500, 1000, 2000 & 4000 grits. The only down side is that you have to purchase a box of 15 in each grit.

Have you tried the hard version of the 6" pad? Maybe that could alleviate the rounded edges?
