In this one I’m taking a first look at the Festool ETS EC 150/5* a 150mm or 6 inch random orbital sander with a 5mm stroke or orbit, and I also give an overview of this sander category as it stands now, late February/early March 2024. Enjoy!

*In the interests of transparency I haven’t purchased this ETS EC, it’s on loan from Festool UK @FestoolGB for six months, and thanks so much to Festool UK for letting me have extended handson with the sander.
