Festool ETS EC sanders FIXED

[Wood_Slice]

Just wanted to give some heads up in case anyone was wondering. I have had the ETS EC 125 on preorder since March this year. I got some info from a dealer that Festool figured out what the issue was with the ETS EC sanders (excessive vibration and shutting off on its own). The production has been ongoing and we should see many dealers getting their hands on these sanders. As a matter of fact I actually saw a dealer selling them on amazon already.

Just in case anyone was wondering.

Maybe they can fix older sanders too. I just sent mine in for repairs. Mine has lasted 5 years though before the issues got bad. Never had a wobble issue, just the intermittent shut off that started a year ago. It was subtle at first so I took it apart and cleaned it really good. This gave me another year.
