Festool 576326 6″ Ecc Random Orbital Sander ETS EC150/3 EQ-Plus Features

• Compact and Lightweight Design: Only 4 1/2″ high and 2.5 lbs, perfect for overhead and vertical use – The ETS EC150/3’s compact form and light weight reduce user fatigue during extended use, especially in overhead applications, ensuring better control and precision.
• Brushless EC-TEC Motor: Longer life, higher efficiency – The EC-TEC motor is not only robust and reliable but also energy-efficient, delivering consistent power without overheating. Its brushless design reduces wear, extending the tool’s lifespan and minimizing maintenance needs.
• Vibration Control System: Smoother operation with reduced fatigue – This innovative system actively regulates the motor speed when vibrations are too high, resulting in smoother operation and a significantly improved feel during use. The reduced vibrations help minimize user fatigue and increase comfort, particularly during prolonged tasks.
• Integrated Sanding Pad Brake: Prevents scratches and allows quick tool application – The sanding pad brake, tipped with durable carbide, ensures that the pad does not spin too quickly when lifted off the surface, preventing accidental scratches and enabling the tool to be set down quickly and safely.
• Stepless Variable Speed Control: Adjustable speed for different tasks – The variable speed dial allows for precise control over the sander’s operation, ensuring that you can match the speed to the specific requirements of each job, whether it’s aggressive material removal or delicate finishing.
• Dust Extraction with Suction Detection: Clean workspace with efficient dust management – The MULTI-JETSTREAM system ensures powerful dust extraction, which not only keeps the work area clean but also improves surface quality and extends the life of abrasives and the tool itself. The unique suction detection feature ensures the sander only starts when a suction hose is connected, promoting a healthier work environment.
• Protective Sleeve and Plug-It Cable: Damage protection and smooth handling – The protective nylon sleeve encasing the suction hose glides smoothly over surfaces and edges, preventing scratches and improving handling. The integrated Plug-it cable is similarly protected, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring longer cable life.
• 3 mm Sanding Stroke: Perfect for fine sanding tasks – The 3 mm stroke provides an ideal balance between material removal and surface finish, making it suitable for fine and superfine sanding where surface quality is critical.
