Yeah, nah! I don't recall ever seeing anyone so joyfully giddy while sanding either! ;-)

If the sanders balancing while having the battery attached is any indication, it seems they may be balanced fairly well.
Michael Kellough said:I suspect that is faked. In the video the guy never let go of the sander.
Also, can the ring light be switched on while the sander is not running? Maybe so or maybe also faked.

With the designation being ETSC 2, I would have thought it would be a 2mm orbit, but I guess the 3.5mm is to help encourage us to buy a sander to fit in-between the ETS EC 150/3 and 150/5!
Do not think we can infer much from the name (itself).squall_line said:I believe the "ETSC 2" designation is a way of saying that it's version 2 of the ETSC, just like the Planex 2 is the second version of the Planex.

[member=61254]mino[/member] Are you ABSOLUTELY sure that the 150 pads will fit on the new 125? The series ETS EC does work that way - with no way that the 150 can use the 125 pad, but are these new machines configured the same way?
When you study the accessories part of the product pages for the new sanders you get the impression that the pads for both models are the same as the ones for the older ETS and ETS EC (plus a few other machines), but it never states anywhere that the 125 can be used with the 150 pads...

I used a Dremel tool to make space in the 125mm pad for the shaft ‘wings’ of the 150 sander. You don’t even need to be that accurate. The flat sides of the shaft do all the work regarding the fit. The fact that the 125mm sander doesn’t have the wings is kind of proof you don’t need a snug fit on the wings to get a solid fitment. Festool seems to think the flat sides of the shaft are enough. And in my years of sanding experience they are![]()
