Will 6" pad fit 5" sander?

[Ron B]

I am new to Festool but bought a few clearance items in the last few months. This is probably a stupid question but I thought I read somewhere that a 6" pad will fit the 5" Festool sanders.  It was recommended to me to buy a 6" sander and I agree with that recommendation.  But I found a heck of a deal on the ETSC 125 hybrid and bought it. It was almost 40% off which in my book, lowers the price to "insanely expensive" to "still pretty expensive".  Now I cannot find that 6" pad information, so thought I would ask FOG.    Will a 6" pad fit onto a ETSC 125?  Any 6"pad?  Does the battery have enough juice to handle a 6" pad or should I only use this with the 110 hybrid mode?  Thanks in advance, and if this is a stupid question, please forgive me.

In one word no.

The interchangeable pads are the 150 mm pad will fit an ETS EC 125. That’s it. Everything else is off limits.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

Don’t despair as I used the ETSC 125 with some 40 grit today and was totally impressed with how aggressive it was. It was pretty impressive.

If the holes line up for the dust collection use the abrasives.  I wound up with a few hundred 7" Granat abrasives and they work fine for general sanding with the RO 150.  The abrasive overhangs the pad by 1/2", but the holes line up and the dust collection works just fine.
