About a week ago, I was sanding with a PC ROS hooked up to my Shop
Vac
QSP when the vac decided not to turn off and on with the sander. So
off
to Woodcraft and came home with a Fein Turbo II. Much better, more
suction, etc. This weekend, Friday, went to Woodcraft for their open
house/sale. Sunday, the sander decided to random orbit about 10 times
a
minute. Had the sander had any compassion, it would have died
Thursday.
Today, off to Woodcraft again. Now the proud owner of a Festool ETS
125
EQ ROS. What a difference.

I've got the RO 125, the RTS 400, and the DTS 400. There is a new one
that
is being sold in Europe, the RO 90, that is supposedly due in NA soon,
that will be next on my list:

Amazing how much time these sanders save on a project ... and how much
cleanup time, to boot.

Damn, I thought it was only a smaller version of the bigger Rotex
sanders
but a detail sander too.

Wonder what the price tag will be on this one.

My guess between $375 and $475.

Under 400... has to be.



If you assume that it should be less expensive as it is smaller than the
others but this thing also has a third ossilation mode for detail sanding
along with an extra sanding pad.
