Description

Unmatched Versatility from the Festool ROTEX Line Learn the ROTEX lineup. Discover how the RO 90 is a favorite among painters for surface preparation, vertical, and overhead sanding. Hear the difference between modes: Random Orbital for fine finishes and ROTEX for fast material removal. See how the RO 90 excels on small surfaces and watch a demo of the difference between modes: Random Orbital for fine finishes and ROTEX for aggressive material removal. Sanders adapt to your workflow with precision and power backed by Festool's engineering. Whether you're upgrading your random orbital sander or looking for a solution for all stages of sanding, the Festool ROTEX Sander series is your go-to. Built for the demands of professional woodworking, ROTEX delivers unmatched versatility, precision, and power. Ideal for pros and DIYers alike. ROTEX = Rotational Eccentric movement, referring to the gear mode where the sanding pad is generating a pattern like a Spirograph. There is no randomness to it, unlike a finishing mode. It will leave a definite sanding pattern, which is erased when you use the sander in random orbit mode. Professionals lose time and precision when juggling multiple sanders. The Festool ROTEX eliminates the need. With tool-free pad changes and dual-mode performance, it’s the only sander you need from rough prep to fine finish — delivering consistent results, every time. FEQ stands for F = FastFix (tool-free pad change), E = Electronics; the control board that helps maintain speed under load, protects from overload, and manages variable speed control. Q = PlugIt, the detachable power cord. Switch between coarse sanding, fine sanding, and polishing with the twist of a knob. One tool does it all. The gear-driven aggressive mode removes stock quickly, saving time on even the toughest surfaces. Random orbital mode delivers smooth, swirl-free results for finishing furniture, cabinetry, and trim. Built-in Jetstream system and Festool extractor compatibility helps to keep workspaces cleaner and helps to protect the air you breathe. 3.5" RO Multi-Mode Sander 5" RO FEQ-Plus Sander 6" RO Multi-Mode Sander Weight 3.31 lbs (1.5 kg) Pad size 3.5" 90mm | Delta 3.6" 93mm Weight 4.19 lbs (1.9 kg) Pad size 5" (125mm) Weight 5.07 lbs (2.3 kg) Pad size 6" (150mm) ✔️Sander backing pad ✔️Edge Protector and ✔️Plug-It Power Cord ✔️Sander backing pad ✔️Edge Protector and ✔️Plug-It Power Cord ✔️Sander backing pad ✔️Edge Protector and ✔️Plug-It Power Cord ✔️SYSTAINER SYS3 M 187 Power consumption 400 watt ✔️SYSTAINER SYS3 M 187 Power consumption 500 watt ✔️SYSTAINER SYS3 M 237 Power consumption 720 watt ROTEX rotary motion speed 260 - 520 RPM | Sanding stroke 1/8" (3 mm) ROTEX rotary motion speed 300 - 600 RPM | Sanding stroke 9/64" (3.6 mm) ROTEX rotary motion speed 320 - 660 RPM | Sanding stroke 3/16" (5 mm) Dust extraction connection 1-1/16" (27 mm) Dust extraction connection 1-1/16" (27 mm) Dust extraction connection 1-1/16" (27 mm) Festool has led innovation in durable, precision-engineered power tools for 100 years.

Quality sander
Yes, it's expensive, but it produces quality results. It really is one of those devices where you learn to minimize your inputs (press too hard, move too quickly, etc) and let the machine get on with the job of sanding. The different settings really do provide a wide range of fast material removal and fine finishing. And being a Festool - good quality and dust collection is amazing (using with the CT26). ... show more

Great Sander
Largest purchase I've ever made on Amazon. This works perfectly straight out of the box. Great quality and durable. Got it a bit cheaper here than anywhere else as well.

Best 5” Combination Rotary Sander 2022
The Festool Rotex 125 is my goto sander for all my small to medium sized projects. It can be used for aggressive Rotex sanding on rough wood, then for finishing on orbital mode, and then for polishing - all by changing the pads and mode of operation. It’s expensive but in my opinion well worth the price. It outperforms all the other sanders I have ever used within 50 years. This sander used with dust extraction allows virtually a dust-free working environment which is extremely important for me having lung issues ... show more

It's simply the best, better than all the rest!
The Festool Rotex 125 Sander is a game-changer! Its versatility, from aggressive sanding to fine finishing, makes it a dream tool for any woodworker. The dust extraction system is top-notch, keeping my workspace clean and my lungs happy. The build quality is exceptional, ensuring years of reliable use. If you're serious about woodworking, this sander is a must-have. My only advice is..don't ever use a Festool if you can't afford one! Once you try Festool, everything else just seems subpar! ... show more

Major upgrade
As a professional floor sander/ finisher I tend to put sanders to the test. I've used DeWalt palm sanders for years, wearing out a couple yearly on average. I never saw the value in Festool but decided to try this sander. So far I'm impressed. I also bought the ETS 125 random orbital sander for finish sanding. I've only used them on a couple of jobs so far so I can't speak on their durability but I do like the action,power, and overall feel of both. I will use the rotex on stairs but have yet to do that. I have high hopes. ... show more

It's a beast
This thing is a beast. Very pricey, but it far outperforms cheaper 5" orbital sanders. The only negative is its weight. That, plus the power of the motor, make it much more tiring to run for extended periods. On the other hand, it works something like three times as fast as a typical 5" palm sander so the job is done more quickly. ... show more

Makes an amateur a pro!
Wow this thing is expensive! Wow this thing is worth twice what they charge for it! Absolutely amazing, I can sand drywall indoors without a mask when using my Festool CTS dust extractor. The results are amazing, I have never been able to sand surfaces so easily, quickly, and without damage. This gives beginners professional results. Well worth the money. ... show more
