- Variable speed control (6,000–12,000 RPM) offers adaptability to different materials and finishes.
- Advanced dust extraction system with Jetstream technology enhances air quality and extends abrasive life.
- Sanding pad brake prevents accidental workpiece damage when setting the tool down.
- Step-less electronic speed adjustment provides precise control but may require user familiarity for optimal results.

How it works
The ETS 125 REQ combines rotary and oscillating motions to deliver a random orbital action that minimizes visible swirl marks while achieving a smooth finish. Attach an abrasive disc via the StickFix pad, connect to a dust extractor if desired, select speed using the dial, then guide the tool over your workpiece with gentle pressure.
