Festool ES-ETS 125 REQ-Plus Edge Sander
At a Glance: 250 W edge sander with 125 mm sanding pad, 2 mm sanding stroke, 43 - 92° angle adjustment and controlled full-surface edge support.
The Festool ES-ETS 125 REQ-Plus is a clever edge sander designed to take the frustration out of sanding edges by hand. It helps produce clean, consistent and repeatable sanding results on sawn, routed, painted, filled and solid wood edges. With full-surface support, adjustable angle control and two sanding modes, this machine helps reduce tipping, sanding-through and uneven edge finishing. It is a time-saving solution for furniture makers, joiners, installers and finishing professionals who need accurate edge sanding with less effort and better control.
The ES-ETS 125 REQ-Plus is built to keep the sanding pad properly supported on the edge. This helps prevent the common problem of rounding over, tipping or sanding through delicate painted and filled surfaces. It is ideal for repeatable edge finishing where neat, consistent results matter.
Product highlights
- Designed for every edge: Suitable for sawn, routed, coarse, painted, filled and solid wood edges.
- Full-surface support: Helps prevent tipping and sanding through during edge sanding.
- Adjustable angle range: Tool-free angle adjustment from 43 - 92° for straight, sloped and angled edges.
- Hard and Soft sanding modes: Hard mode is ideal for pre-sanding, while Soft mode adapts to delicate surfaces for intermediate sanding.
- Time-saving sanding: Replaces manual sanding and can save valuable time on repeated edge-finishing work.

- StickFix abrasive system: Allows quick and easy abrasive changes without clamps or adhesives.
- Plug-it cable system: Removable cable makes setup, storage and tool changeovers easier.
Extra Information
- The machine is designed to sit fully on the edge surface, helping prevent tipping and uneven sanding.
- Hard mode is useful for pre-sanding where a fixed angle must be maintained.
- Soft mode allows the sander to adapt more closely to the surface, which is useful when sanding painted or filled edges.
- The edge sander can work with the included chip collection bag or with a suitable Festool dust extractor.
- The edge sander system can also be mounted on compatible ETS 125 and ETSC 125 sanders as an accessory setup.
Pro Tips
- Use Hard mode for pre-sanding and keeping the edge fixed to the set angle.
- Use Soft mode for intermediate sanding on painted or filled edges where you want to avoid sanding through the finish.
- Set the angle carefully before sanding a batch of parts to keep all edges consistent.
- Use dust extraction when sanding painted, filled or coated materials to keep the edge surface cleaner.
- Do not press too hard; let the sanding pad and guide system do the work for a cleaner finish.
How to Use
