If I had a job that required a bunch of sanding, I would probably pop
$170 on that Festool 125 ROS ...


I thought it was closer to 2X that... ?

Google Products search shows it at $170, everywhere.

There are a few different models....

You have to be specific as the 125 more describes a round 5" sander, not one
in particular as indicated below.

The Rotex indicated above is in a class all by itself as far as speed and
quality of output and the Rotex is the unit that Swingman, Robatoy, and I
are most always talking about.
