This sanding block is really designed for automotive use, but we’ve found it to be a great tool for hand sanding flat or gently curved wood surfaces. The best part is that it has dust collection. The dust port is sized to fit Festool’s special 21.5mm hand sanding hose, but the sander includes an adapter to fit the more common 27 mm Festool hose. It also includes a hose bleeder valve to keep the dust extractor from pulling it to the sanding surface excessively.
These rectangular sanding blocks are compatible with the full line of Festool 80mm x 133mm abrasives, the same abrasives used with the RTS 400 EQand LS 130 EQsanders.
