Universal application, cordless and compact – a cordless sander allows users to machine anywhere conveniently, even hard-to-reach surfaces. These powerful tools have been developed for manual operation and provide perfect ergonomics for construction sites or in workshops. With a Festool extractor attached, the cordless sander operates in a particularly clean way, without releasing harmful dust into the air. Whether an eccentric sander, orbital sander or delta sander – all variants in the cordless sander range fit perfectly into the Festool system and can be combined with any accessory, such as abrasives, extractors, battery packs and mains adapters.
The following guide shows how beams can be connected by longitudinal joints as part of a renovation. Portable circular saws, cordless drills and eccentric sanders are used to do this. One of the longitudinal joints created by carpenters, the French scarf joint, is primarily used to partially replace damaged wood in old buildings or to extend wood.
When two pieces of wood meet at right angles, particular care needs to be taken to avoid sanding across the grain of the wood, as otherwise the surface could become damaged and scratched. This application example shows a practical solution with the eccentric sander, for sanding frames with mitre joints, for example, or even butt-jointed frames.
