The Festool RTS 400 REQ-Plus Orbital Sander + CT MIDI I HEPA Dust Extractor Bundle pairs the Festool RTS 400 REQ-Plus Orbital Sander with the Festool CT MIDI I HEPA Dust Extractor, then adds the Festool Granat 80 x 133 mm Abrasives 100-Piece Value Set Systainer3 and the Festool SELFCLEAN Filter Bags for CT MIDI I, 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 576054-578512-578194-204308.

Buying the pieces as one system means the setup works on day one. The extractor's anti-static suction hose connects to the RTS 400's dust port, the Granat 80 x 133 mm Abrasives 100-Piece Value Set Systainer3 loads the sander with 100 Granat 80 x 133 mm sheets in five grits, P60 through P220, and the five spare SELFCLEAN bags are sized for the CT MIDI I, so you are not shopping for consumables the first week.

Festool RTS 400 REQ-Plus Orbital Sander

Festool 576054 RTS 400 REQ Orbital Sander w/ Systainer3 is a compact finish orbital sander built for one-handed sanding on trim, edges, face frames, window components, and other smaller flat surfaces. This is a finish orbital sander designed for one-handed finish sanding on flat, vertical, and overhead surfaces. Model Number: 576054. If you need control more than raw size, this is the kind of sander that makes sense because it gets into tighter spots and stays manageable when you are working at awkward angles.

The big advantage with the RTS 400 REQ is how its shape matches the work. The rectangular 3-1/8" x 5-1/4" (80 x 133 mm) pad gives you better access along edges and frame members than a round finish sander, while still giving full pad contact for controlled sanding. Festool rates it at 6,000 to 12,000 RPM with step-less variable speed, so you can slow it down for more delicate finish work or keep it moving when you are stripping paint, leveling filler, or prepping wood and veneer before finishing.

Festool also updated this version with a 250 watt motor and MMC electronics. That matters because it is not just about higher output on paper. Constant speed under load, soft start, and overload protection help the tool stay more consistent when you lean into it, especially on denser wood or when you are trying to keep a uniform scratch pattern across a visible surface. The short version is simple: the sander feels controlled instead of jumpy, and that is what gives you cleaner results.

For comfort, the RTS 400 REQ is built around one-handed use. The rubberized grip, textured surfaces, balanced vibration control, and low overall weight are there for a reason. On vertical panels, cabinet parts, and overhead work, that lower fatigue adds up fast. If you have ever tried to use a bulkier sander on a window sash or along installed trim, you already know why a tool like this earns its keep.

Dust collection is another real selling point here. The interlocking dust port is designed to work with Festool CT dust extractors and the latest CT connector for a more secure hose connection. When you are not hooked to extraction, the included long-life dust bag gives you a cleaner option than just letting dust fly. On finish work, that means less airborne dust settling back onto your surface and less cleanup at the end of the job.

The Festool system piece is worth mentioning too. The Plug-it power cord lets you swap cords between compatible Festool tools instead of dedicating a cord to every tool in the stack. The StickFix hook-and-loop pad system also makes abrasive changes fast, which matters when you are stepping through grits instead of forcing one paper disc or sheet to do too much. It is a small workflow upgrade, but on cabinet work, punch work, and trim prep, those minutes add up.

Who is this for? Painters, trim carpenters, cabinet installers, finish carpenters, remodelers, and serious woodworkers are the obvious fit. It is especially useful for anyone sanding installed work, narrow parts, vertical faces, or detail areas where a full-size random orbit sander feels too large. If your work lives on doors, window frames, rails, stiles, face frames, and edge prep, this Festool finish sander is a smart buy.

Connected to a Festool extractor like the Festool CT 26 EI HEPA Dust Extractor, this sander pulls dust directly at the pad for a cleaner finish and less airborne mess.

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 80 x 133 mm Abrasives 100-Piece Value Set Systainer3

The Festool 578194 Granat RTS/RTSC/LS130 80x133 Abrasives 100-Piece Value Set Systainer3 is a sheet sanding abrasive kit built around Festool's SYS3 storage system. This is a sandpaper set designed for surface preparation, finish sanding, and paint or filler work with compatible 3-1/8" x 5-1/4" (80 x 133 mm) sheet sanders. Model Number 578194. If you use a Festool detail or sheet sander and want the right grits organized, protected, and easy to grab, this setup does that better than keeping loose packs scattered around the shop or truck.

What makes this set useful is not just the sheet count, but the spread of grits. You get 20 GRANAT sheets each in P60, P80, P120, P180, and P220. That covers the typical progression from heavier material removal into intermediate smoothing and final prep before finish. On the job, that means less downtime between sanding steps and less temptation to push a worn or wrong grit too far. If you're working modern paint systems, VOC clear coats, hard substrates, plastics, acrylic, repair compounds, or fillers, that range makes sense.

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.
