It offers an aggressive, gear-driven rotary mode for rapid stock removal. This high-torque, low-rpm mode offers a removal rate similar to what you would expect from a belt sander or an angle grinder. However, since it utilizes a rotary orbital sanding stroke to achieve those results, you end up with significantly higher surface quality. The rotary mode is also well suited to polishing, and it leaves surfaces hologram-free.

When you're ready to put a fine finish on a work piece, simply flip the mode switch and the RO 125 FEQ becomes a random orbital sander capable of delicate, swirl-free work.

Weighing in at just 4.4 pounds and offering a variety of grip positions, the RO 125 FEQ is designed to minimize user fatigue and fit comfortably in tight spaces, which makes it ideal for working on vertical pieces and for sanding overhead.

Convenient Design Protects Surfaces and Saves Time
With the included edge protector--a protective bumper guard--you can use the RO 125 FEQ to sand right up to the edge of a work area without worrying about damaging adjacent surfaces. This guard also prevents jolting when sanding close to walls or edges, protecting your target surface and keeping you in control.

In addition, the RO 125 FEQ features a pad brake that stops the pad quickly and completely. This means less need to worry about damaging freshly finished work pieces when you need to set the tool down. And when it's time to switch modes or replace a worn pad, the sander's FastFix tool-free pad design allows you to transition quickly, minimizing downtime and keeping your work flow smooth.

MMC Electronics for Increased Control and Extended Tool Life
Different applications place different demands on your tools, and the RO 125 EQ's advanced MMC (multi-material control) electronics provide equally good results when working with a variety of materials. It offers soft starts that won't harm your work surface, the ability to maintain constant speeds under heavy loads, and step-less variable speed control from 3,000 to 6,000 opm in random-orbit mode and from 300 to 600 rpm in rotary-orbit mode. And its electronic system includes thermal and overload protection, extending the life of the sander.

In addition, this Rotex sander features a Plug-It power cord. This interchangeable cord design allows you to quickly switch between Festool tools without changing your entire setup.

Integrated Dust Extraction Improves Work Environment
Due to its unique Jetstream pad design, the dependable RO 125 FEQ also offers near-complete dust extraction. This efficient setup allows the sander to capture dust as soon as it is created. The result of this improved extraction is cleaner air for a healthier work environment, better finishes on sensitive surfaces, and longer abrasive and pad life--not to mention fast cleanups when a job is done.

The Festool RO 125 FEQ Rotex Sander is backed by a three-year limited warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
