FAQs

Whats the real difference between the 150/3 and the 150/5?

The difference is the sanding stroke. The 150/3 has a 3 mm orbit for finer finish sanding, while the 150/5 has a 5 mm orbit for faster stock removal and general-purpose sanding while still leaving a high-quality surface.

Is it worth upgrading to a brushless sander?

Yes. The brushless EC-TEC motor delivers more consistent power, a longer tool life, and smoother operation with less heat and vibration compared to brushed motors. This also helps reduce fatigue during extended sanding sessions.

What sandpaper works best with it?

Festool Granat abrasives work best because they are designed for the Multi-Jetstream 2 pad, optimizing dust extraction and extending abrasive life. They perform well across wood, finishes, and solid-surface materials.
