Awesome!! Now it is high on my list.

I am going to absolutely love this positioning aid. I have about 50-60 drawer fronts and face frames that need to be edge sanded. I hooked it up to the ETSC 125 and also the DTSC 400 last night and sanded a couple of drawer front edges. Using the same grit (240) the DTSC took only half of the time, that the ETSC needed, to remove the small saw blade marks and that all makes sense. 

Both of these sanders fit very snugly into the unit but it's this tab on each side that indexes and locks the sander in to the aid. The tabs prevent any movement of the sander what so ever.




When the tabs on the aid are fully engaged with the sander this is what the ETSC looks like.




This is what the DTSC looks like.




The Pro 5




The ETS 125 EQ does not fit because there is no receptacle for the tab.




The same thing goes for the DTS 400 EQ.




It's interesting to note that the Pro 5 was designed over 4 years ago and at the time they incorporated 2 recesses in the body to locate & hold the edge protector, these recesses are what the tabs on the positioning aid recess into. 

Mine is on order; my ETS 125 will be married to it; I’m thinking of having a private ceremony.

Where's the honeymoon going to be?   

@Cheese does it look like the RTS will fit a well. Which sander do you think you use more with it?

Thanks Ron

Sorry about that @mrB ,    I meant EQ not EC. So the 2 sanders that wouldn't fit are an older ETS 125 EQ and a DTS 400 EQ.

I do have 2 PRO5 LTDs, one for coarse sanding and the other fine/finish sanding. I don't plan to install the sanding guide (still waiting for the pick-up notice from the vendor) in one of them on a permanent basis, because together they don't fit into the systainer. Another bonus is that there won't be any costly divorce settlement involved if things don't work out as intended one day .

Edit: Just received the pick-up notification a few hours ago.

And here I guessed break-in would be a healthy diet of charcuterie boards for Christmas gifts.

Seems like an easy thing to do to fit those two older sanders with little slots to accommodate the tabs of the edge guide.

Well this is all great news. Thanks @Cheese

Hi Ron...been spending most of the evening cooking some turkey soup...darn that stuff is good.

I attached a LS 130 sanding disc to the DTSC sander and I’d make a bet it will work fine. I’ll post some photos tomorrow.

I also noted some feedback from Festool that stated using the DTS in the sanding frame could possibly wear out the pad prematurely. heck, that’s an opportunity to use up all those DTS pads that I have that have the nose of the pad worn off. Seems like a win win situation for me.

I sanded some drawer fronts again today using the DTS in the sanding frame, it is becoming my favorite option.

Here Ya go Ron @rvieceli , here's a shot of the DTSC to give you an idea of where the pad resides relative to the Housing Shell (2-2). The Housing Shell is in the lowered position.




Here a piece of LS 130 paper has been placed on the DTSC in the approximate position as a RTS sander. The Housing Shell is in the raised position for sandpaper replacement.




The Housing Shell is now in the lowered position for use.




I think the RTS will fit on this positioner fine.  As far as increased wear goes for both the pad and the paper when used with the DTS or RTS sanders, I'll just monitor mine and note the results. As I previously said, I have several extra pads for the DTSC that have the point worn down and this will be a great way to get a bit extra service life out of them.

Besides, I'm using 180-320 grit for sanding the edges so there isn't a lot of resistance. Also, when using this positioning aid there isn't a lot of sideways pressure exerted on the sander. You're simply kissing the edges to remove very small blade marks, somewhere in the .002"-.003" range. It really works well and it is fast, just a light pass up one edge and your done.

Thanks. There’s a groove around the front and side edge on the newer sanders. Does something engage this groove on the attachment?

@Cheese

What kind of material is the white glide surface? The surface that runs on the top surface.

Cheers

Hi Cheese
So you have used this with the Pro 5 LTD and it does lock in place perfectly?  I posted this question earlier under Edge Sanding Guide but I just noticed your post here under its product number. Looks like you are fairly happy with it so far. Well worth the expense then?

I am supposed to get mine Tuesday. It will live on my Pro 5 sander. This will be an opportunity to use the Pro 5. I will need to buy sandpaper for it now.
