THE FESTOOL
SYSTEM
ES 125
Smooth Going
Woodworkers do a lot of sanding, and the ES 125 from Festool
is a very smooth way to do it. This 5" random orbital sander
is remarkably light for its class. The housing shape and
center of gravity are carefully designed for an easy hold.
Our Vibration Stop balancing makes the ES 125 very
smooth-running. It all adds up to make this sander
easy to use, even one-handed, on vertical or
horizontal surfaces.
The ES 125 also makes it easy to sand clean. It channels dust
out the back, for collection in a filter bag or a dust extractor.
Our special Jetstream pad design keeps dust from clogging
on the abrasive, for more effective dust extraction,
better sanding, and longer abrasive life.
Easy use, smooth operation, and clean working – the ES 125
is an ideal sander for all-around woodworking use.
See for yourself. Call us or go online to find
your nearest Festool dealer.
