Is there an edge sanding guide for the ETS 150 5/3?

[natenator76]

Been trying to see if they have an edge guide for the ETS 150 sanders and can't seem to find one?

Anyone know if that's true or if I'm just blind?

Thanks!

There are third party 3D printed edge guides out there, but nothing from Festool. Even with the 125mm sanders, the Festool edge guide is only usable with two specific sanders, not the entire 125mm line. The reason is because of how it attaches.

Nope. I bought one from "Iluka London" and am quite happy with it.

Here's the one I got:https://www.etsy.com/listing/1633313589/festool-ets-ec-150-kit

I did put some UHMW tape on the part that rests against the face, since 3D printing doesn't leave a very smooth part finish.

Now that I also have a RO90, I wonder if it'd be easier to have an edge sanding attachment for that smaller/lighter sander?

hmmm.... gives me an idea for a new project.

I don't have a 3D printer, but plenty of woodworking tools.

Thanks, just ordered the 90 & 45 set, with free shipping to the USA! Thank you very much for this!

Yeah, it's a little funny. It fits the ETS 125, but only after a certain date, which I found out after ordering one. So, I've had one sitting in a box waiting for me to do something about that. Mine is too old, and I don't really like the form-factor of the ETS, so it's hard to buy a new one.
It also fits the Pro-5, but those are no longer available. It was a one-time promotion (2016?) and they went very quickly. I'm surprised that they never did it again? That is one tool that has appreciated in value, I'm sure. They sold for around $100, including the Systainer, plus a voucher toward your next Festool purchase.
I have been told it fits the RTS too, but it doesn't use the sandpaper efficiently. It only touches in one place, since it doesn't spin.

Just in case anyone cares, there are some 3D printed versions for the RO90. Might be easier to handle than the one on my ETS/EC 150.
