Why dust extraction matters
Dust wastes time and money.
Every minute that you spend cleaning a job site is a minute that you're not doing more important work. If you didn't have to spend extra time cleaning up at the end of the day, how would you spend your time? Would you work on other projects? Would you get home to your family earlier? You certainly wouldn't spend it sweeping out your work site.
Dust is bad for your health.
Dust contains toxins and is hazardous for your health. According to the Center for Disease Control, long-term exposure to wood dust can cause a wide variety of serious respiratory issues. Your health is too important to be jeopardized by something as small as dust.
Dust is unprofessional.
If you leave a mess for a client, you're not going to be invited back. What's more, dust particles can hang in the air for hours or even days. Imagine how pleased your customers will be if you're able to guarantee that their homes will remain dust-free during a project.
Festool dust extractors . ..
- Are HEPA-certified (excluding the CT 36 AC)
- Trap dust at the source
- Create safer, cleaner and more efficient work sites

Product Description
From the Manufacturer
If you are looking for one sander to tackle all your sanding jobs from rough surfaces, to finish sanding to polishing, look no further than the Rotex sander. Designed with two distinct operating mode; the Rotex can be used for coarse sanding or aggressive stock removal and with a flick of a switch used as a finish sander. The aggressive mode operates like an angle grinder with an orbital action but with an added eccentric motion for faster material removal and with gear driven efficiency there is not stopping this sander even in the toughest materials. With a flick of a switch the sander is adapted to a random orbit motion for swirl-free finish sanding to complete your project. The Rotex can even be adapted to a high-torque, low speed polisher for a high gloss finish on nearly any surface. Rotex sanders are equipped with Jetstream dust extraction for highly efficient dust removal. The Jetstream system can extend abrasive life by up to 30% while keeping both the workpiece and the work environment free of dust. Jetstream creates airflow into, across, and through the pad and abrasive. Suction is applied to the outer periphery of holes and draw air from the center of the pad which draws air from outside the pad on it's edges. This creates a circulating effect that moves more air and therefore removes more dust. Jetstream pads and abrasives use the Festool StickFix adhesive system for quick and easy abrasive changes and allow for abrasive discs to be reused. The RO 125 has a 5 inch pad and puts 500 watts of power, dual-mode sanding, and triple-function performance into a comfortable, 4.4 pounds. It is perfect for woodworkers, painters, solid surface fabricators, and anyone who needs to tackle a range of sanding tasks over the course of a day. The RO 125 incorporates near-total dust extraction, exceptional ergonomics, and many advanced features. This is a small sander that is perfect for big jobs. Made in Germany.

this sander is incredible. sucks up all the dust when using festool discs, but you can use other discs but will get a lot of dust because the dust holes of the sanding pad don't line up. festool discs have their own proprietary holes in them.
its like having a belt drive sander and orbital in one, except you won't get the deep lines or "track" when you use a belt drive.
i bought a soft pad as well and can't say enough about this sander. its one of the most used tools i have and totally worth the extra price. well built, well thought out and makes sanding way less painful and done in a fraction of the time it used to take me
The aggressive sanding mode takes off wood like a charm and the random orbit sanding mode works better than any similar type sander I've used in 10 or so years of woodworking. Although expensive, this sander is a game changing tool in my shop and makes me a much better woodworker.
All in all this is a great tool.
I got my new sander on Friday and could hardly wait for the weekend to give it a try. It lived up to my expectations as far as being a well thought-out design. A tool-free way to remove the sanding pad...which is great since it also has available a selection of sanding pads with variable hardness for use based on the job at hand. Very smooth and vibration free. Two different sanding actions, one for rapid removal and one for service preparation. I don't like the unique hole pattern of their sanding pads: the Festool abrasives are superior and probably cost effective, but you HAVE TO use them if you plan on dust extraction. By the way, the dust extraction is excellent.
I have used both Dewalt and Milwaukee ROS for years, the Dewalt being my favorite. But as the on/off switch began giving me trouble after a very long service life, I decided to make the leap up to Festool. Here's the problem: I'm having controlling it, even when it's on the 'finish' sanding mode. The darn thing jumps all over the place during use. I used to be able to sit down and just glide my DeWalt over the surface, but the Festool requires a firm two hand grip to make sure it goes where I want it to.
I have trouble believing it is operator error. I'm very disappointed.
