Built to make fast work of rough shaping and removing layers of tough old paint or varnish from either metal or wood, this rotary sander offers a removal rate similar to what you would expect from a belt sander--except with more maneuverability and without the surface damage that might accompany the belt sander's work.<p>For additional versatility, brush inserts for this sander are available in both plastic and metal to help you match the sander's performance to your desired application.<p><b>Robust Design Includes MMC Electronics</b><br>Different applications place different demands on your tools, and the RAS 115.04 E is prepared to handle those differences with its advanced MMC (multi-material control) electronics. It offers soft-starts to protect your work surface, and step-less variable speed control from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm for equally good results when working with a broad range of materials. It maintains consistent speeds under heavy loads, which contributes to clean, dependable performance. And its overall design guards against overheating and current overload, extending the life of tool.<p><b>Ergonomic Design Offers Comfort and Versatility</b><br>Designed for comfortable use, the RAS 115.04 E's motor housing is small enough in diameter to fit snugly in your hand for easy manipulation. Plus, the sander comes with a threaded auxiliary handle, which can be attached to offer additional hand placement options and even more acute control over the sander's body.<p><b>Easy-to-Change Abrasives and Pads</b><br>Contributing to the RAS 115.04 E's convenience and versatility is the simple, rugged nature of the StickFix hook-and-loop design. This abrasive-attachment method allows for fast and easy abrasive removal whenever you need to change grit types or replace a worn abrasive, and it holds abrasives securely in place while you work. And due to the resilient pad hooks and hard-wearing fabric backing that make up this system's components, you'll experience longer abrasive life and longer pad life.<p>In addition, this rotary sander also offers FastFix pad changing, which allows you to lock the arbor in place for quick, simple, tool-free pad transitions.<p><b>Integrated Dust Control Improves Work Environment</b><br>The RAS 115.04 E also offers a rotating dust hood. Designed to direct the maximum amount of dust away from you and your work surface while still allowing you to get close to adjacent surfaces, this design improves job-site safety and minimizes cleanup time.<p>In addition, the dust port of the RAS 115.04 E is electrostatically grounded to maintain continuity when used with Festool's anti-static dust extractor (not included).<p>The Festool RAS 115.04 E Rotary Sander is backed by a three-year limited warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.<p><b>What's in the Box</b><br>Festool RAS 115.04 E Rotary Sander, eight StickFix abrasive discs, dust extraction hood with brush, extra side handle, StickFix sanding pad (4 1/2-inch diameter soft), wrench, and Systainer storage case.<p><br clear="all"><table cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="461" align="center"><tr align="center"><td><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q1_2011/c26-B000H70B8W-3.jpg" border="0" alt="Directional Dust Shroud"><font size="1"><b><em>Rotating dust hood keeps your work area clean.</em></b></font></td></tr></table><br clear="all">
