Festool ETS 125 REQ-Plus

The Festool ETS 125 REQ-Plus was part of the finishing workflow on the 8 ft Walnut Entry Hall Table, which had plenty of surfaces that needed careful cleanup before the table could feel finished.

That project combined walnut, birdseye maple, black resin lines, long case parts, and rebuilt drawer fronts. A good sander matters in that kind of build because surface prep is what lets all the more visible work actually look polished.

I like this tool for the controlled, steady sanding it brings to furniture work. It helps take the project from assembled to finished without making the surface stage feel rushed.
