Wanting to breathe new life into old doors or windows? Then you've come to the right place.
We'll help you choose the tools and matching accessories that are ideal for you, as well as helpful application tips to achieve your perfect sanding result. Festool has a long tradition of sanding.

Preparing old doors: Now's the time to make your selection!
Here you can find all information about the individual products, accessories and consumables.
The following grit sizes can be used with each sanding pad shape: P80, P120, P180, P240. The recommended grit grade and spacings for the abrasive are suggestions only and not specifications. We do not recommend selecting large spacings between the different grit sizes. As a general rule, the grit size selection depends on the desired sanding result. The higher the grit number, the finer the surface result.

The sanding tools
Depending on the surface quality and desired result, different sanding motions can be selected for coarse and fine sanding. We have therefore developed the right sanders, which perfectly fit into the sanding system. View sanders -
The sanding pad system
Sanding pads suitable for every type of application are available in different degrees of hardness ranging from ultra-soft to hard. Can be changed quickly and, because of the Jetstream principle or MULTI-JETSTREAM 2 (for D 150), have efficient extraction and produce little heat. View MULTI-JETSTREAM 2 -
The extraction system
The air stays free of dust if a good dust extraction system is used. All of this provides highly consistent work results and prevents sanding dust from getting in your lungs. View extraction system
