Festool RTSC 400-Basic Cordless Orbital Sander
At a Glance: 18 V cordless orbital sander with 80 x 130 mm sanding pad, 2 mm stroke and compact one-handed control
The Festool RTSC 400-Basic is a compact, ergonomic cordless orbital sander designed for mobile sanding without the drag of a cable or suction hose. With its 18 V battery platform, brushless EC-TEC motor, 80 x 130 mm rectangular sanding pad and 2 mm sanding stroke, it is ideal for fine sanding on small, narrow and flat surfaces. The integrated dust extraction system with Longlife dust collection bag makes it practical for quick mobile work, while CLEANTEC compatibility allows connection to a Festool mobile dust extractor when a cleaner, more controlled sanding setup is required.
The RTSC 400-Basic is built for sanding where mobility and handling matter. It is especially useful for vertical surfaces, overhead sanding, window frames, door frames, edges and finishing work where a power cable or suction hose would get in the way.

Pro Tips
- Use the Longlife dust bag for quick mobile sanding, then switch to a Festool dust extractor for longer indoor sanding sessions.
- Use the Protector when sanding close to window glass, frames, panelling or finished edges to reduce accidental marking.
- Let the sander float on the surface instead of pressing hard. Too much pressure slows the abrasive and can leave marks.
- Match the abrasive grit to the job: coarse for removal, medium for preparation and fine for finishing.
- Clean or empty the dust bag regularly so extraction stays strong and the sander keeps working properly.
