How to sand places a DTS can't reach? OSC/LS130?

[Maestronus]

I've been super happy with my DTS, but keep running into places I can't reach with it. Especially doing windows/doors/stairs. Personally I hate hand sanding because of the dust produced and time consumed. So I started looking at tools that might solve it.

One option I'm considering a multitool like the OSC. The usual 85x85 sanding pad won't help much over the DTS. But there are a few other accessories to sand spots that are hard to reach:

1. Fein's sanding finger, which takes tiny 37x52 mm sanding paper
2. Bosch's carbide sanding finger, available in grit 40 and 100.
3. Bonus: Bosch's profile sander for sanding round surfaces

From the looks of it 1 and 2 might work well with the OSC-AV dust extraction.

One thing I don't like about the OSC is it being cordless. I want my tools to last longer than a battery system does. The corded MultiMaster/SuperCut do not seem to have a nice dust extraction add-on. (I don't think the OSC-AV would fit?)

Option two is the LS130. You can use it to reach corners, grooves, round surfaces, etc. With some customization it can sand area's that are too small for the DTS (eg. narrow valleys that are under 100mm).

What do you use for those hard to reach spots?

I use the finger sander attachments on a multi tool, for hard to reach areas.
My multi tools are Fein but the Festool Vecturo and many other multi tools have the fingers and sanding pads as an option.
Other than that, it’s sand paper wrapped around something small enough to reach in, or a small scrapper.

Do you use any dust extraction with the finger sander attachments?

I have owned the LS130 for years and used it once sanding a bunch of moldings. Works well for that job although slowly. In my mind, the LS is a very specialized tool.

Quick answer before I go outside to sand another door.

Fein offers dust extraction sets/kits for - more or less - all of their machines.

For some delta applications I would also suggest to check out the RO90 with the medium and long extensions.
There is almost no place these will not reach if you have width enough for a small delta pad.

I used all my sanders when refinishing a tandem pair of Adirondack chairs with  a small table between.  The RO 90 extensions and the extension for the LS 400 were extremely handy for small tight areas.

Yes, I use either the Fein extraction shroud, or the Festool Vecturo version. Either are hooked up to to a CTM 26 orCTM Midi.
