Festool ETS EC 150/5 EQ-Plus 6-in. Brushless Random Orbital Sander

The Festool 576339 ETS EC 150/5 EQ-Plus Random Orbital Sander is a 6-inch corded finish sander built for professional surface prep, fine sanding, and swirl-free finish work. This is a random orbital sander designed for fine sanding and controlled material removal. Model Number: 576339. If you spend hours flattening panels, cleaning up filler, or dialing in paint and clearcoat prep, this tool is built to keep you productive without beating up your hands.

What sets this sander apart is how it combines cut quality with comfort. The 3/16" (5 mm) sanding stroke gives it enough action for efficient stock removal in fine and intermediate sanding, while the stepless speed control keeps the pad moving consistently under load. In plain terms, that means you can stay aggressive enough to move through prep work without giving up the surface quality you need before finish.

Festool built this unit around a brushless EC-TEC motor, and that matters for two reasons: durability and packaging. The motor design helps extend service life while allowing the body to stay compact and low profile. Festool lists the housing at just 4-1/2 inches high, which makes a real difference when you are sanding vertical panels, edges, or overhead surfaces where a bulky sander gets awkward fast.

The ergonomic shape and balanced center of gravity are not just brochure talk here. This sander was clearly designed for one-handed control and for staying flat on the workpiece without fighting the tool. That is especially useful in cabinetry, millwork, painted surface prep, and automotive-style finish sanding where uneven pressure can show up in the final result.

Dust collection is another big part of the story. The Festool 576339 ETS EC 150/5 EQ-Plus Random Orbital Sander uses a 1-1/16" (27 mm) dust extraction connection and is designed to work within Festool's sanding system. Paired with extraction, you get a cleaner surface, better visibility, and less airborne dust hanging around your workspace. Less dust on the surface also means less rework, which is one of those things that saves more time than people expect.

On the practical side, the carbide-tipped sanding pad brake helps prevent the pad from over-speeding, which improves control and helps protect the work surface. Constant speed under load also keeps the sanding pattern more consistent. For finish work, that consistency matters more than raw speed, because it helps reduce uneven scratch patterns that show up later under paint or topcoat.

This sander runs on 120 VAC power, draws 400 watts, and uses a 6-inch interchangeable sanding pad. The speed range is 6,000 to 10,000 RPM, so you have room to tune the tool to the material, abrasive, and stage of sanding. It also includes Festool's Plug It power cord and comes packed in a Systainer3, which makes storage and transport a lot more organized than tossing a finish sander loose in the truck.

Who should buy it? If you are a woodworker, finish carpenter, cabinet installer, painter doing prep, remodeler, or a serious DIY user who cares about surface quality, this is the kind of random orbit sander you buy once and keep using for years. It is not a bargain-bin sander, and it is not trying to be. It is for users who want low vibration, excellent control, and a finish-ready result without fighting the tool the whole time.

If you would rather get dust extraction bundled in from day one, the Festool 578867 Limited Edition ETS EC 150/5 Sander + CT MIDI I HEPA Dust Extractor Kit pairs this same sander with a HEPA extractor and abrasives in one purchase.

Festool CT 36 EI HEPA Dust Extractor

The Festool 577872 CLEANTEC CT 36 EI HEPA Dust Extractor is a professional dust extractor built for workshop dust collection and jobsite cleanup. This is a dust extractor designed for dry and wet extraction, tool-triggered dust collection, and cleaner work around corded and compatible cordless tools. Model Number 577872. If you need one extractor that can handle daily sanding, cutting, drilling, and general cleanup without constantly stopping to empty it, this is the one Festool built to sit right in the middle of your system.

The big selling point here is capacity without the usual penalty in size. Festool gives you a 36-liter container, or nearly 9.5 gallons, while keeping the machine compact enough to move through a shop or around a remodel. That matters when you are collecting dust all day from sanders, track saws, routers, or cleanup work and do not want a small extractor filling up every couple of hours. With up to 138 CFM of airflow and a maximum vacuum rating of 96 inches of static water lift, it has the pull needed for serious dust collection, not just light bench cleanup.

Festool also got the controls right. The touch-style push-button interface is simple to use, and you get five suction levels instead of one fixed setting. That means you can back suction down when a sander wants controlled airflow, or turn it up when you are collecting heavier debris. Tool-triggered operation for corded tools keeps the extractor and tool working together automatically, which is a real time-saver when you are bouncing from cut to cut or moving through repetitive sanding work.

Where this model separates itself from a basic shop vacuum is system integration. The built-in Bluetooth interface lets the extractor start automatically with compatible Festool Bluetooth battery packs or an optional remote control. You can also connect it to the Festool app for support and warning notifications. On the job, that means less walking over to the extractor and less breaking your rhythm. If you already run Festool cordless tools or want cleaner remote startup control, this is a meaningful upgrade over a standard corded extractor.

The physical design is clearly aimed at daily use. The smooth anti-static suction hose is built to reduce snagging, which matters more than it sounds when you are moving around a bench, assembly table, or finished interior. Festool includes integrated hose storage and cord wrap so the setup stays organized instead of turning into a pile of hose and cable at the end of the day. Large wheels make it easier to roll, while the integrated brake keeps it planted once you have it where you want it.

It is also built to function as a hub, not just a vacuum. T-LOC compatibility lets you dock Systainers on top, and Festool also calls out compatibility with the Pre-separator and Workcenter. That gives you one rolling station for extraction, storage, and workflow organization. In a shop, that keeps sanding and cutting accessories together. On a remodel or install job, it cuts down on trips back to the van and helps keep the work area tighter and cleaner.

The included HEPA main filter is a big part of why this extractor matters to pros working indoors, in occupied homes, or anywhere dust control is not optional. Festool rates it for both dry and wet extraction, which adds flexibility when cleanup conditions change during the day. The anti-static setup also helps reduce nuisance static buildup during operation, which makes the overall system feel more refined than a generic jobsite vacuum.

Who should buy it? This extractor makes the most sense for woodworkers, remodelers, finish carpenters, installers, and serious DIY users who already care about cleaner cuts, better sanding results, and less post-job cleanup. If you want the cheapest vacuum possible, this is not that tool. If you want a dust extractor that works like part of a complete Festool workflow and earns its keep every day, the CT 36 EI HEPA is the kind of machine you buy once and use for years.

Festool Granat 6-in. (D150) Abrasives 120-Piece Value Set Systainer3

The Festool 578192 Granat D150 Abrasives 120-Piece Value Set Systainer3 is a 6 inch sanding disc assortment packed in a Festool SYS3 organizer for disc sanders. This is a sanding disc set designed for surface preparation and finish sanding across paints, fillers, plastics, hard substrates, and wood applications. Model Number 578192. If you use a Festool 6" (150 mm) sander and want a full spread of usable grits in one grab-and-go case, this kit makes a lot of sense.

What makes this set useful is the range. You get six grit steps: P60, P80, P120, P150, P180, and P220, with 20 discs of each. That gives you enough stock to move from heavier material removal into surface prep and finish work without piecing together separate boxes. For painters, finish carpenters, cabinet shops, and remodelers, that means fewer interruptions and a simpler sanding progression when the work changes during the day.

Festool SELFCLEAN Filter Bags for CT 36, 5-Pack

The Festool 496186 SELFCLEAN Filter Bag for CT 36 is a replacement dust extractor bag made for Festool CT 36 units. This is a dust extractor filter bag designed for collecting fine dust and debris while maintaining consistent suction. Model Number: 496186. If you run a CT 36 on sanding, cutting, or general cleanup, this bag matters because it helps the extractor keep working efficiently instead of fading off as the bag fills.

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 36 EI has the largest container of the three, 9.5 gal (36 L), with 138 CFM of airflow for high-volume sanding, sheet goods breakdown and fewer bag changes.
