I am in the market for a Festool sander; I have a gift certificate and a big bowl of change on the dresser, and I am thinking of buying the Rotex 125 and the ETS 125 together. I already have the CT22.
Two questions:
Will these sanders pretty much answer the typical woodworking sander needs? I realize that when doing casework I'd have to sand a little longer with the 5" pad, but I cannot bankroll the 6" versions of these two sanders.
Does the Rotex 125 become more manageable with practice? When I was messing around with it in the store, it seemed to jump around some and was a handful to manage. Some of this is my inexperience, I am sure--I'd like to be able to shape some and remove stock quickly, though.
Thanks.
