SAND EVERY EDGE EASILY Festool launches its new ES-ETS 125/ES-ETSC 125 edge sander
KBB installers and other tradespeople are all too familiar with the scenario of laborious, time-consuming sanding using a sanding block, sanding through edges and resurfacing edges. A thankless task and hardly profitable. Every edge is different: it can be sawn, routed and is sometimes untreated or painted. To sand edges as easily and effectively as possible, Festool has launched a versatile mobile edge sander. "Our new edge sander eliminates the need to manual edge sand. Many people use a hand-sanding block to sand edges and although this is cheap, it is time-consuming which costs money, it also produces a lot of dust and is prone to flaws," explains product manager Simon Grรถger at Festool. "Until now many have used an eccentric sander, belt sander or orbital sander. However, this requires skill and expertise, as more aggressive machine sanding can cause the edge to be sanded through or rounded when tipping over. And this usually requires many finishing steps, such as repeated priming or filling," added Simon Grรถger.
