The lightest sander I’ve ever used. Absolutely stunning piece of kit…but not cheap. [emoji56]
Pictures for your consideration.

Bought from Axminster Uk a while ago. Was approx 10% cheaper than in France and on top of that, they were offering more than 200 abranet pad in 5 different grits.
Couldn’t pass the occasion.
They’ve got a Mirka set with the vac on clearance at woodcraft here in NH for $500!!!!! Awesome deal! Already vested in my Festools but boy what a deal!
This is such a cool sander. Been eyeballing one, but I hardly use a random orbital sander… I still want one [emoji16]
Axminster seem to have a good deal. Cheaper there than in my own country (Netherlands). But you have to get a different powercable.

Insane ! The very same sander + the vac for 500 bucks.
Unbelievable. To be honest, i’d take it and sell the vac on ebay.
Since I live in France, I ordered the 230V version and got rid of the the UK plug.Mr. Yellow wrote:

That was still an awesome deal.
Still willing to try a Festool Rotex 125 to compare with and also trying the ETS just for fun.
I’m guessing my Mirka would be very close to an ETS EC 150/5 ?
I guess this one comes with some kind of converter with the set. Still I don’t want to drop five bones right now but that’s one heck of a deal!

Hi again,
Since you are from the Netherlands, have you ever purchased anything from www.toolnation.nl ?
They have some cool Senco combo offers that keep me awake [emoji15][emoji42]

Ah yes the previous models with the external power supply.
Gotcha, my bad! Still what an awesome sander! It seems the new Festool ones are designed around this type.

That was my idea too. Getting the 230v and change out the cable.
Festool must have been looking at the Mirka when they designed theirs. Look mighty fine also.

Yeah, I’ve bought a couple of times from them. The only real complaint about them is their stock indication on their site which isn’t accurate. So it can happen when you order something that should be in stock needs to be back ordered. Other than that they are a reliable store.

this just a local instore deal or did you see it online?
I’m looking to pick this up this weekend. Looks really nice and I’m sure it performs well.
