Festool ETS 125 REG PLUS with a 150 pad: is it still possible?

[stefano]

Hi to everyone in the group,
I was wondering if it's possible to mount a bigger pad to my ETS 125 sander.
Occasionally I have to sand large piece of wood and I was asking to me if I could to buy and install a 150 pad that came from its bigger sister.

Thanks for any help [smile]

I believe, if memory serves me correct, that the only model that allowed you to install a larger pad was the ETS EC 125. Not sure if this applies to the regular ETS 125.

Unfortunately, the pad cannot be switched on the ETS 125, only the ETS EC 125 sander will allow the pads to be swapped out.

Thanks to both of you for the reply.
I appreciate your help, Cheese and Shebert409

As we says in Dutch, where there's a will, there's a way.

The ETS 125 and ETS 150 sanders do not have the same mounting holes, but if you really want to, what's preventing you from drilling the 4 holes in a 150 pad you need, to fit it on a 125?

I do wonder if the 125 has enough power to drive a 150 mm pad.

Hi Alex, thanks for your reply.
Let me ask you one more question I have in my mind: is it possible for your experience to screw up a plate and pad of DTS400/RTS400 on a ETS125...?

Thanks

And as we say in the States, where there’s a will, there’s a relative.  [big grin]

No. Now you're having a bit too much imagination.  [wink]

I mean, is it possible, sure. If you really want to you can screw a cat to an ETS125. But is it useful? No.
