ETS 150 sanders

[Toolpig]

Are the ETS150/3 and ETS150/5 sanders being discontinued?  If so, what are they being replaced with?

They have been discontinued and replaced with the same sanders, except with the new Fusion Tec Pads.

I just ordered a new 150 from Tom... look forward to seeing how the new FustionTec pads feel between my hands and the work surface.  Mainly excited about the extended durability!!

I just shipped it, Bryan. It's all up to FedEx now...

the 150/3 was my first festool and the smoothest sander ever.  I will have to wait to see how good the new pads are.  It is recommended that you purchase a hard pad to use.

Is this just a new pad like jet-stream was or is there something new in the sander?

 

[tbellemare]

It's a change in the pad, Greg.

I'm sure it has been mentioned already on the FOG, but I can't remember it, what exactly is the improvement on the Fusion Tec pads?

Here's a quote from Festool, Alex...

"Offering truer running performance for smoother surfaces, less vibration, and longer life, Fusion-Tec pads are the latest from Festool in high-performance sanding accessories"

OK, thanks Tom.
