Festool ETS EC 150/3 EQ Eccentric Sander
At a Glance: Compact 400 W 150 mm eccentric sander with 3 mm sanding stroke for fine and extra-fine sanding with excellent surface quality.
The Festool ETS EC 150/3 EQ is a compact, low-profile eccentric sander designed for fine and extra-fine surface sanding where control, comfort and finish quality are the main priorities. With its 150 mm sanding pad, 3 mm sanding stroke and brushless EC-TEC motor, this sander is ideal for final sanding of fillers, fine sanding of mineral materials and pre-sanding before polishing. At only 116 mm high and with a balanced centre of gravity, the ETS EC 150/3 EQ sits close to the surface, making it comfortable to guide by hand, even when sanding overhead, edges or vertical surfaces.
The ETS EC 150/3 EQ is built for finish-focused sanding. Its fine 3 mm stroke, MULTI-JETSTREAM 2 dust extraction system, sanding pad brake and Vibration Control System all work together to help produce smooth, professional surfaces with less fatigue and less rework.
Product highlights
- 3 mm sanding stroke Ideal for fine and extra-fine sanding where a high-quality surface finish is required.
- Compact low-profile design Only 116 mm high for excellent hand control and a close feel to the surface.
- Brushless EC-TEC motor Efficient, powerful and designed for long service life.
- Stepless speed preselection Allows sanding speed to be matched to the material and application.
- Constant speed under load Maintains sanding performance even during demanding work.
- Vibration Control System Helps reduce vibration and automatically reduces performance if vibrations become too high.
- Sanding pad brake Carbide-tipped brake helps prevent the pad from overspeeding and reduces scratch marks when placing the sander on the surface.
- MULTI-JETSTREAM 2 sanding system Improves dust extraction, cooling and abrasive performance.
- StickFix abrasive fastening Allows fast, simple and economical abrasive changes.
Extra Information
- The ETS EC 150/3 EQ is the fine-sanding version of the ETS EC 150 range.
- The 3 mm sanding stroke is best suited to fine and extra-fine sanding applications.
- For light sanding and intermediate sanding of varnish and paint, the ETS EC 150/5 with a 5 mm stroke may be more suitable.
- The sander uses 150 mm StickFix abrasives and a MULTI-JETSTREAM 2 sanding pad system.
- For best performance, connect the sander to a suitable Festool dust extractor and use the correct Festool abrasive for the material.
- The sanding pad brake helps protect both the workpiece and the user by reducing uncontrolled pad speed when the tool is not under load.
Pro Tips
- Use the ETS EC 150/3 EQ for the final sanding stages where finish quality matters more than aggressive removal.
- Keep pressure light and even. Excessive pressure can reduce surface quality and shorten abrasive life.
- Use a gradual grit sequence to remove previous sanding marks properly before polishing or coating.
- Connect a Festool dust extractor to improve visibility, reduce dust and help abrasives last longer.
- Use the correct sanding pad hardness for the job: softer pads for curves and delicate surfaces, harder pads for flatter work.

- Connect the plug it-cable securely to the sander.
- Connect a suitable Festool dust extractor to the 27 mm dust extraction connection.
- Select the correct speed setting for the material and sanding stage.
- Place the sanding pad flat on the workpiece before switching the machine on.
- Guide the sander evenly across the surface using light, controlled pressure.
