OK all you Festool aficionados..

It is a good sander but be aware it is not very aggressive. That said, it is the best that I have owned. Clifford.

Clifford, Jason, I bought it with the sole intension of using it for finish sanding ONLY. I have two PC 333’s and a PC 505 for aggressive sanding.

Understood. Just giving the old "heads-up" Of all the "finish sanders" that I have used, it is probably the least aggressive. I love the dust collection. Clifford.

You made the right choice, then.

Let me know how you like it. It's about the only Festool sander I don't own at the moment.

Pre-gloat, eh? You'd better post pics or I'm yanking this thread!!!

[Bruce Page]

No problem, I’ll post pics as soon as I get the vacuum adapter made for it.
It’s funny, I asked a couple of questions about it on Bob’s website yesterday morning and it wasn’t 5 minutes later when he called me on the phone to answer them. If he ships as fast, I should have it next week.

Bob M. is always there when you need him, he always works hard to make something happen.
And when I think that I'm just one of his many customers, I am amazed he can get it all done. But he does.

Bruce,

I live in Phoenix and have bought a bunch of stuff from Bob. He ships next business day at the latest. UPS Ground takes 3 to 5 business days from his shipper in Ohio. Might be a day faster to NM.

You'll love it.

You'll be a "smooth operator" as soon as that fine sander arrives! Congrats. One of my favorite Festool tools, in fact. Probably the most used other than my Festool Drill/Driver

+1. You're going to love it. I've used mine for upwards of an hour and never experienced the "numb / tingly hand" feeling.

Don't forget to collect the whole set ;-)

I don't have the ETS 150/3 EQ, but based on my experience using my Rotex I think you'll be happy with your new sander.

I actually don't mind sanding now. Very cool.

[Steve Clardy]

I just ordered the ETS 150/3 EQ and a bunch of disks from Uncle Bob Marino. I hope it’s as good as you say ‘cause it sure ain’t cheap!

You won't regret it.

I have the same sander. I think my variable speed switch is going out though.
But I've had it about 5 years now.

You might want to invest in a vacuum with suction control if you don't already have one. Festool sanders sometimes will "stick" to a workpiece if the suction is too high. This seems to happen more with the higher grits, though.
