Festool 578984 Dust Extractor & Random Orbit Starter Sanding Kit CT 25/ETS 125/GR

Festool 578984 CT 25 / ETS 125 REQ Limited-Edition Starter Sanding Kit (5″ Random Orbit Sander + HEPA Dust Extractor + Granat D125 Starter Set)

Limited release available starting November 13. Quantities are limited—pre-orders recommended. Valued at $1,130 if purchased separately.

The Festool 578984 Limited-Edition Starter Sanding Kit pairs the compact ETS 125 REQ 5″ random orbit sander with the CT 25 HEPA dust extractor and a complete Granat D125 abrasive assortment to deliver clean, consistent finishes from prep through final scuff. The ETS 125 REQ is a one-handed finish sander engineered for maximum surface quality: a fine 2.0 mm (5/64″) sanding stroke, excellent balance, and a pad brake that keeps edges safe during start and stop. At just 2.4 lb, it’s comfortable on vertical panels, cabinet doors, trim, and overhead work where control and low vibration are crucial. Variable speed lets you match cut rate to the material, while Jetstream dust extraction maintains visibility and extends disc life.

Supporting the sander is the CT 25 HEPA—a mobile extractor designed for high-volume cleanup and sustained sanding sessions. Its 6.6-gallon (25-liter) container uses the full internal volume, so crews can work longer between bag changes. Touch-panel controls, five suction levels, and antistatic design make operation straightforward in shops, occupied homes, and commercial interiors. The CT 25 ships ready for immediate use with a smooth tapered hose plus cleaning tools for general debris, so you can move from sanding to site cleanup without changing machines. To round out the workflow, the kit includes a Granat D125 Starter Set with (10) discs each in P60, P80, P120, P180, P220, and P320—a practical range for leveling filler, smoothing primer, and final scuff before coating.

This kit is aimed at professionals and serious DIY users who want a reliable, low-dust sanding system that’s simple to deploy and easy to live with on the jobsite. With organized storage in a Systainer³, a ready-to-work extractor, and a smart abrasive selection, it’s a complete surface-prep package that helps reduce rework, protect indoor air, and deliver a finer, more uniform finish.

Please note: Festool offers a 1 Year Limited Warranty but you can add an additional 2 Years when you register your tool within 30 Days of Purchase.

Why Professionals Prefer the Festool Dust Extractor & Random Orbit Starter Sanding Kit CT 25/ETS 125/GR

Installers and finish carpenters pick this kit for its balance of control and productivity. The ETS 125 REQ random orbit sander delivers a fine 2.0 mm orbit that leaves a clean scratch ready for primer or topcoat, while the pad brake protects corners and profiles on doors, face frames, and trim. Paired with the CT 25 HEPA dust extractor, crews keep dust out of occupied spaces and see the surface clearly, which leads to fewer touch-ups. The included Granat sanding discs (D125) cover the common sequence from repair compound knockdown to final P320 scuff, so work flows without supply gaps. For shops and mobile pros who want simple setup, dependable dust control, and consistent finish quality, this set offers a complete sanding workflow in one package—ready to go on day one.

Notes on Use & Setup (Pro Tips)

• Dial suction to the work Set the CT 25 to Level 2–3 for small parts, thin panels, or vertical work to prevent pad “stick” and tracking. Use Level 4–5 for heavy dust (filler knockdown, rough stock) to keep the surface visible and discs cutting clean.
• Run an efficient grit sequence For typical interior finishing: P120 to flatten repairs, P180–P220 to smooth primer or bare wood, then P320 for the final scuff before coating. Don’t skip more than one grit step—this keeps the scratch pattern uniform and reduces rework.
• Protect edges and keep airflow unobstructed Use the Protector PR ETS-R 125 when working near profiles and corners to avoid over-sanding edges. Keep the smooth tapered hose straight and off sharp corners; a clear Jetstream path improves dust capture and extends both pad and abrasive life.
