The Festool ETS 125 REQ-Plus 5-in. Random Orbital Sander + CT 26 EI HEPA Dust Extractor Bundle pairs the Festool ETS 125 REQ-Plus 5-in. Random Orbital Sander with the Festool CT 26 EI HEPA Dust Extractor, then adds the Festool Granat 5-in. (D125) Abrasives 100-Piece Value Set Systainer3 and the Festool SELFCLEAN Filter Bags for CT 26, 5-Pack. This is a sander and HEPA dust extraction bundle designed for dust-free sanding of wood, paint, primer, filler and solid surface. Model number 576070-577871-578193-496187.

Buying the pieces as one system means the setup works on day one. The extractor's anti-static suction hose connects to the ETS 125's dust port, the Granat 5-in. (D125) Abrasives 100-Piece Value Set Systainer3 loads the sander with 100 Granat 5-in. discs in five grits, P60 through P220, and the five spare SELFCLEAN bags are sized for the CT 26, so you are not shopping for consumables the first week.

Festool ETS 125 REQ-Plus 5-in. Random Orbital Sander

The Festool 576070 ETS 125 REQ-Plus 5" (125 mm) Random Orbital Sander is a compact finish sander built for high-quality surface prep and finish sanding. This is a random orbital sander designed for finishing and pre-sanding wood surfaces, especially where one-handed control, low fatigue, and clean dust collection matter. Model Number 576070. If you spend your day working on face frames, cabinet parts, trim, doors, or painted surfaces, this is the kind of sander that makes fine finishing easier to repeat.

What separates this tool from a more general-purpose sander is the tight 1/16" (2 mm) sanding stroke. That smaller stroke is aimed at fine sanding, not heavy stock removal. In real use, that means better finish quality and a lower chance of leaving a rough scratch pattern behind. The variable speed range of 6,000 to 12,000 RPM also gives you room to slow the tool down for more delicate work or turn it up when you need to move through prep work faster.

The ETS 125 is built around one-handed comfort. Festool calls it out as a compact, lightweight machine for vertical and overhead use, and the low weight is a big part of that. At 2.4 lbs. in use weight, it is easier to control on cabinet sides, doors, shelving, and other parts that are not flat on a bench. The body shape is also meant to fit comfortably in different hand sizes, which matters when you are sanding for a long stretch instead of just making a few passes.

Festool's Vibration-stop balancing is not just a comfort feature. It helps the pad track more smoothly, which supports better finish results and better control. Less harsh vibration usually means you stay on the surface more consistently and are less likely to rush the last few passes because your hand is getting tired. The sanding pad brake is another practical detail. It helps stop the pad quickly and reduces the chance of marking the work when you lift off or set the sander down.

Dust handling is one of the biggest reasons people move into the Festool sanding system, and this sander is clearly built around that idea. The Jetstream design is intended to improve dust removal, keep the air cleaner, and extend abrasive and pad life. It also uses a bayonet-style locking dust port and a 1-1/16" (27 mm) dust extraction connection, so you can run it with the included dust bag or hook it to Festool dust extraction for cleaner sanding and less cleanup. For finish work inside a home, shop, or jobsite punch list, that matters as much as raw sanding speed.

The 250 watt motor is sized for finish sanding duties and, according to Festool's product information, improves material removal rates over the prior version while keeping the tool compact. A sealed switch helps keep internal dust buildup down, and the pad protector lets you sand close to adjacent surfaces without beating them up. Those are small details, but they are the kinds of details that make a finish sander more useful in real trim and cabinet work.

As part of the Festool system, the ETS 125 REQ-Plus also benefits from the plug-it removable power cord setup. If you already run Festool corded tools, being able to swap cords between tools is simply faster and cleaner on the bench or on site. The included Systainer3 also keeps the sander, cord, and accessories organized instead of getting knocked around in a generic bag or tote.

Who should buy it? This sander makes the most sense for woodworkers, finish carpenters, cabinet installers, remodelers, and serious DIY users who care more about surface quality and dust control than brute-force removal. If your work is mostly final prep before finish, between-coat sanding, or smoothing visible wood parts, the Festool 576070 ETS 125 REQ-Plus 5" (125 mm) Random Orbital Sander is right in its lane. If you need aggressive leveling first, start with a heavier-cut sander and use this one for the finish passes.

Festool CT 26 EI HEPA Dust Extractor

The Festool 577871 CLEANTEC CT 26 EI HEPA Dust Extractor is a professional jobsite and workshop dust extractor built for cleaner cutting, sanding, and general cleanup. This is a dust extractor designed for dry and wet extraction with tool-triggered operation. Model Number 577871. If you already run Festool saws, sanders, or cordless tools, this unit is built to act like the center of that system instead of just being a vacuum parked in the corner.

What makes the CT 26 EI matter is how it combines usable capacity with real mobility. The 6.9 gal (26 liter) container gives you nearly 7 gallons of room, but the machine still keeps compact dimensions at 25 inches long, 14 inches wide, and 22 inches high. That balance is a big deal on the job because larger extractors can be a pain to move, while smaller ones fill too quickly. Festool landed in the sweet spot here for cabinet work, remodeling, finish carpentry, and shop use.

Suction performance is strong where it counts. The high-performance turbine delivers up to 138 CFM and up to 96 inches of static water lift, which means it can keep up with dust collection at the tool while also handling cleanup duties. The five-level suction adjustment matters just as much as the max number. Being able to back the suction down helps when you are working with sanders or on surfaces where too much pull can fight the tool.

The control layout is more practical than old-school dial-and-switch setups. Festool uses push-button touch controls for straightforward operation, and the extractor supports automatic tool-triggered start for corded power tools. On the cordless side, the built-in Bluetooth interface lets the extractor start automatically with compatible Festool Bluetooth battery packs or an optional remote. That saves steps, keeps dust collection active when it should be, and makes the machine feel like part of the workflow instead of a separate task to manage.

Festool also paid attention to the stuff that usually gets ignored until it annoys you. The anti-static smooth suction hose is designed to reduce snagging and static buildup. The integrated hose holder and cord wrap keep the setup from turning into a mess in the van or at the end of the day. Large wheels make it easier to roll over thresholds and rougher surfaces, while the integrated brake helps keep the extractor from wandering when the hose gets tugged.

As a system machine, the CT 26 EI is set up to do more than collect dust. T-LOC compatibility allows Systainers to attach on top, and it also works as a base for other Festool workflow add-ons like the Pre-separator or Workcenter. That is useful if you want one mobile station carrying the extractor and the tools or accessories needed for the task. In a small shop or a punch-list van, that kind of stackable setup saves space fast.

Filtration is another reason buyers step up to this model. It includes a HEPA main filter plus a SELFCLEAN filter bag, so you are starting with a setup aimed at fine dust control rather than bare-minimum debris pickup. For trades working indoors, especially around finish work, sanding dust, or occupied spaces, that matters. Cleaner air and cleaner floors mean less time on cleanup and less dust spreading through the room you just worked in.

Who should buy it? Pros who want a serious dust extraction setup that works in the shop and on install work. It makes sense for woodworking, finish carpentry, remodeling, interior renovation, and anyone already invested in Festool tools and Systainers. If you just need a basic cleanup vacuum, this is more machine than you need. If you want a dust extractor that integrates into how you actually work, the CT 26 EI is the right kind of upgrade.

Festool Granat 5-in. (D125) Abrasives 100-Piece Value Set Systainer3

The Festool 578193 Granat D125 Abrasives 100-Piece Value Set Systainer3 is a 5 inch abrasive disc assortment packed in a SYS3 M 112 Systainer for storage, transport, and quick grit changes. This is a sanding disc set designed for surface preparation and finish sanding across painted surfaces, hard substrates, plastics, acrylic, fillers, and repair compounds. Model Number: 578193. If you use a compatible Festool 5" (125 mm) sander and want a clean starting lineup of discs instead of piecing together separate boxes, this set makes sense.

What matters here is the grit spread. You get 20 discs each in P60, P80, P120, P180, and P220, so you can move from heavier material removal into intermediate smoothing and final finish work with one case. For a painter, finisher, or woodworker, that means less guessing about what to order first and fewer interruptions when a job changes halfway through.

Festool SELFCLEAN Filter Bags for CT 26, 5-Pack

The Festool SC FIS-CT 26/5 SELFCLEAN Filter Bag is a replacement filter bag pack for Festool CT 26 dust extractors. This is a dust extractor filter bag designed for collecting fine dust and debris while helping the vacuum maintain strong airflow. Model Number 496187. If you run a CT 26 in the shop or on site, this is the bag setup that makes the extractor work the way it is supposed to.

Who should buy this bundle? Finishers, cabinetmakers, painters and remodelers who sand indoors and want the dust in the bag, not on the floor or in the air. The CT 26 EI is the middle option, with a 6.9 gal (26 L) container and 138 CFM of airflow, balancing capacity and mobility for shop and jobsite work.
