Have you tried the Planex 2 yet?

The Festool Interface Pads protects the sander's pad when using the Festool Net Sanding Pads. The Net Pads are great for dusty sanding. The thick Interface Pads adds cushioning to the sander's pad for sanding uneven surfaces.

That’s especially true if you’re using softer muds like Easy-Sand mixing compounds.

I’m so glad you did a video on using the Festool Planex 2.0 on wood surfaces. I’m debating getting a Planex for some renovations in our personal home, but I also am curious if the Planex 2 could be used to refinish table tops. I have a small furniture restoration company and now that these sanders have the random orbital motion I’m wondering if it could sand large wood surfaces. I don’t see the need to do the final sand on a table top but at leas the first couple initial sanding of striping on old finish off. Do you think it could manage that task? Or just stick to my Festool ETSEC 6 inch sander?

it could definitely do it, its just a massive 9" sander with lots of suction power. happy you liked the vid. cheers

Awesome video back drop! Thank you for the review. As an entry level sander i got a Max XT for $200. It had an led ring which is why i wanted it. I cannot believe how much mileage i have gotten from it. I thought it would have grenaded leaving a crater in the wall long ago. I also have sanded a few bathroom subfloors for removing remaining glue and bumps and a few old osinted textured ceilings in preparation to skim coating to flat. Totally dustless is a beautiful thing man. I used a large shop vac with a yellow fine dust bag. Also used the Mirka system which I'm in love with BUT no LED ring. That's a deal breaker. The LED ring improves the useability of the tool by triple. Shows any imperfections instantly. So important. I also appreciate the quality and details that festool includes in their designs. If a person never used a Festool, you never really know how much more refined they are, also the build quality for QofL, electronics and motors is at the very top hence the price. And I'm a hardcore Team Red guy saying this!

I do floors for a living, we regularly skim coat thousands of square feet. A stand up sander that weighs 150lbs is a little much and hand scraping with a 4” scraper is not enough. I was thinking of getting 2 or 3 of these for my guys so they don’t have to crawl around so much. Do you think this could sand thin layers of skin coat or knock old dry glue off concrete if I put heavy grit on it?

@@michaelbacile8439 with the proper vacuum they eat pretty awesome. They do wonders on ceilings but heavy paint layers make it tough as if you push it too hard they gum up and do nothing. The right setting is important, faster spinning and more pressure is slower in some cases I think. The vacuum is really important but doubles the cost

How do you handle corners when using this tool? (thinking more about ceilings and walls for this question, as you do mention follow up with an orbital on the deck)

unfortunately you need to do corners on drywall with a hand sander of some kind, you could use a square power sander but be really careful with those, you don't want to burn up that drywall tape.

thanks, what about disk rotation marks on the wood! Do you need a finishing sander to make them disappear?

I didn’t notice any, plus this is probably the best finishing sander ever. They have every grit of paper imaginable.

Nice video. 👍🏻 that would work perfect on sanding and refurbishing wooden and old Victorian timber floors. We have a lot of those in London. ( England)

@@hammerandhome good point. Thank you. 👍🏻

ok, so the million dollar question (maybe a thousand dollar question): would you use this to refinish an interior hardwood floor? I could rent a commercial sander, but they are a pain, and it pushes me to do all the floors at once. As a DIYer I would rather do a refinishing job in small pieces. Room by room. So these smaller orbital sanders with suction are really appealing...provided that they can get the job done!

Curious whether this would have an advantage sanding tables instead of the 6in sander I’m using. Always trying to save time sanding

It works just like a palm sander but better. Especially on flat surfaces. But I would suggest looking at a cheaper unit for tables. Check out dewalt, there are some cheap units on Amazon as well.

Great video thanks how much is the sender and the vacuum

I was thinking about renting a floor sander to strip the old paint or stain off of my mother's deck and a 4-hour rental fee with delivery came out to be about $175. I checked around for a drywall sander and bought one for just around $110 with free delivery.

I agree rigid shop vac but what Dewalt sander can compete with this. Mind you I’ve seen some harbor freight Bauer drywall sanders. Idk how they compare

I don't understand why people pay the festool price on things when there is a store out there called harbor freight and everything is lifetime guaranteed. O and like this took, harbor freight does the same thing for 150$
