I have the ETS EC 125/3 EQ-plus so this will not fit my sander. I'm not so tempted to get one since I would have to go full boat and get the whole package. But it is an interesting idea and the price isn't bad for the attachment.

I guess I am out of luck to because I have a EQ Plus too. Didn't read the fine print. Well on the bright side I just saved $100.

I purchased the Festool Pro 5 LTD when is was offered at 99.00. its a fantastic tool and significantly better than a similarly priced dewalt.

Honestly it did exactly what the promotion was indented to do. It introduced me to the real quality that Festool produces, and while I will not buy all Festool tools, there are a few critical tools ( tracksaw, router and domino ) that are in my future purchase plans) I also watch for refurbished units being sold since they carry the Festool warranty and a significantly more reasonable price tag.

Looks like the edge sander attachment is now for sale in the US market. Compatible with ETS 125 REQ and ETSC 125.

I'm confused. How can a post in a thread named for a Festool tool be considered SPAM because it contains a link to tools (including Festool)?

It's better than most spam, for sure. But I'm always suspicious when new members post links right away. Especially when the post contains poor grammar of the "Chinglish" variety.

The linked site is one of those "product review" sites that exist only to try to get people to click their Amazon-associate links. If you do click on one of those links and then purchase the item, the "associate" (e.g. the site owner) gets a commission from Amazon equal to 3% (for tools) of the selling price. If you're curious, Amazon publishes their "Associates Program Fee Schedule" (i.e. commissions) here: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/he ... 8U84RAYDXZ

I frequently encounter such sites when searching for legitimate product information and reviews, and I've never found any useful product information on them. If you poke around on the site in question, and hover over the links therein, you'll see that their goal is to get you to click on their Amazon affiliate links. To find a suitable forum on which to post their spam links, all they have to do is Google the products that they list on their site.

So it's relatively harmless, but still spam IMHO.
