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 MIDI I HEPA Dust Extractor

Festool 578512 CT MIDI I HEPA Bluetooth Dust Extractor is a compact mobile dust extractor built for contractors, installers, finish carpenters, and serious DIY users who need clean work with less hassle. This is a dust extractor designed for on-site dust collection, cleanup, and tool-connected extraction during sanding, routing, sawing, and drilling. Model Number: 578512. If you want a unit that is easy to move but still has the suction and control features that matter on real jobs, this is the lane the CT MIDI I is built for.

The big reason this extractor stands out is how much performance Festool fits into a small platform. With up to 130 CFM of airflow and a maximum vacuum rating of 96 in static water lift, it is built to keep up with common power tool dust collection tasks and final cleanup without feeling underpowered. The suction is adjustable in five levels, which matters when you are switching between tasks like sanding a painted door, trimming material indoors, or drilling where too much suction can fight the tool.

Festool also got the day-to-day usability right here. The touch controls are simple and easy to use, even when you are wearing gloves or working in dusty conditions. The smooth tapered suction hose is designed to reduce snagging, which is a small detail until you are dragging a hose around finished flooring, around sawhorses, or along a guide rail all day. The flat top gives you a usable storage surface, and the integrated hose garage and cord wrap keep the setup from turning into a pile of hose and cable in the van.

Filter access is another practical improvement. The main filter can be replaced from the outside, and the manual filter cleaning function helps restore airflow when the filter or bag starts to load up. In plain terms, that means you can keep suction where it needs to be and use more of the bag capacity before stopping. For anyone doing repeated sanding or punch-list work inside occupied spaces, that is a real time-saver.

Dust control is only half the story. The CT MIDI I HEPA is also set up to work smarter with your tools. The built-in electrical outlet supports tool-triggered auto-on operation for corded tools, so the extractor starts with the tool instead of forcing you to make a second trip. Integrated Bluetooth expands that to certain cordless setups when used with Bluetooth battery packs or an optional remote control. That makes this extractor a better fit for mixed corded and cordless workflows than a basic shop vacuum.

On portability, this unit lands in a very useful middle ground. It is lighter and easier to carry than a larger extractor, but it still gives you a 4.0 gallon container capacity and 3.3 gallon filter bag capacity. The chassis is built for jobsite movement, with large rear wheels, front casters, and a locking brake to keep it planted once you have it where you need it. Festool also integrates the extractor with its Systainer system through the T-LOC connection, which matters if your workflow already revolves around stacked tool storage and mobile setups.

The wet extraction capability adds flexibility, but there is an important detail: wet extraction requires a special wet filter. The built-in LevelStop system shuts the motor down when collecting water to help protect the machine. That makes this more versatile than a dust-only extractor, but it is still clearly optimized for clean, mobile dust extraction around power tools first.

Who should buy it? If you work inside finished spaces, do installation work, punch-list work, cabinet fitting, trim, door prep, flooring, or light remodeling, this Festool dust extractor makes a lot of sense. It is especially good for users who care about mobility, cleaner indoor work, and better integration with cordless and corded tools. If you need maximum debris capacity for heavy demolition, you would step up in size. If you want a compact extractor that travels well and does the job right, this one is right in the sweet spot.

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 MIDI I, 5-Pack

The Festool 204308 Self-Cleaning Filter Bags For CT 15 / CT MINI I / CT MIDI I, 5-Pack is a replacement dust extractor filter bag set for select Festool vacuums. This is a dust bag designed for collecting and containing dust and debris during cleanup, sanding, and general extraction work. Model Number 204308. If you use a Festool CT 15, CT MINI I, CT MIDI I, or compatible CTC MINI/MIDI extractor, these bags matter because they help maintain suction while making disposal cleaner and faster.

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 MIDI I is the most compact and portable of the three extractor options, with a 4.0 gal container and 130 CFM of airflow, a good fit for installers who carry the extractor room to room and in and out of the van.
