12/4/2023 0 Comments Festool sander and dust extractor![]() I'm not sure about plaster, but I've used a Kilz - a stain-killing primer - ensuring that there's no bleed-through. (Of course, it might be that I'm just clumsy.)Ĥ) Primer the walls. When I removed wallpaper from a bathroom, I had to repair lots of gouges. ![]() It's interesting stuff more like a scrubbie than sandpaper.ģ) Repair any gouges. If it was me, I think I'd do the following:ġ) Lightly use a scraper to remove the flaking paint.Ģ) Try Brilliant 2 in one or more grits to remove the looser paint and maybe all of the paint. However, I've had to deal with some difficult surfaces a few times. I've not done much of this and have not used my Festool sander for removing paint. The catalog recommends Brilliant 2 for this purpose. And it provides details on how each abrasive is made. Unlike most catalogs, this one goes into a lot of detail about which abrasive to use for which purpose. Festool makes several different types of abrasives. Note that I live in Europe so everything is 240 volts and must be available here.I believe Fred is correct about the paper to use for paint removal. This model of sander seems eminent comparable to the above Mirka model and I'm sure it will be straightforward enough to connect it to the Starmix vacuumĭoes my new plan make sense and are there better alternatives to the sander / vacuum based on my requirements? What if anything am I missing? Remember, if it is not a H class vacuum with auto filter clean, that's automatically a deal-breaker. Buy the Festool sander (Eccentric) ETS EC150/5 EQ-Plus 240V and use Festool's Granat Net discs (comparable Abranet disc) on the gypsum plaster with the dust extractor. It seems nothing can touch that Starmix model Festool offer a H class vacuum and a vacuum that can clean its own filters but they are not the same vacuum therefore it appears that Festool has no vacuum that suits my needs. Now I would like to investigate Festool for the sander and possibly the vacuum. The above may be a divisive statement for the many that are satisfied with that Mirka model but I have deemed it an unacceptable risk and will consider it no longer. See Peter Millard / Hand-I-Craft and various other Youtube channels as well as reviews online regarding breakages. If I'm spending that amount of money, I want something that will outlive me provided it is cared for and not used 12 hours every day. On one occasion, I found the reason for the breakage given by Mirka hard to swallow. It appears that there are many complaints indeed. Recently, I found out about complaints around that model of Mirka sander breaking even after being sent back for fixing. Starmix seem to be rather highly rated and (apparently) make Metabo and Mafell dust extractors as well as their own branded versions It's a H rather than M class because of the glass fibre / glass wool / mineral fibre requirement above and it should also work for everything else. ![]() I liked that this was both a 125mm / 5" and 150mm / 6" sander in one as well as coming in a systainer with many Abranet discs At 1.03 kgs / 2.26 lbs its light, relatively ergonomic and is compatible with Abranet discs. Buy a Mirka Deros 5650cv with Abranet discs. Can be used to extract glass fibre / glass wool / mineral fibre work such as in the attic making it a H class vacuum Can be used with attachments to perform on-site cleaning of floors etc Has a power tool socket for auto starting with the tool Use for attaching to other power tools (one at a time is fine) It absolutely must clean its own filters automatically with no loss to suction Use for attaching to the above sander for the gypsum plaster Future use on other projects especially woodwork ![]() Excellent dust extraction potential and takes a net style sanding disc Sand down the gypsum plaster walls making them ready for painting I have some questions and require your expertise on a sander and dust extraction purchase. I'm a first time poster so please bear with me.
