Good Morning Lance
My understanding of the Festool sanders, and I have both an ETS 150/3 and a Rotex 125, is:
- The ETS series does have a built in vacuum so that the vacuum sucks even when an external vacuum is not connected. Evidence: you can connect a vacuum bag directly to an ETS sander.
- The Rotex series does not have a built in vacuum. Evidence: you cannot connect a vacuum bag directly to a Rotex sander.
I am surprised that you created such a mess. When burnishing I do not use very much Organoil, and basically follow your method. I paint a very light coat of oil on at 400 and 600 grit; after that I just put a little oil on the sandpaper. Less is more.
Cheers
Graeme

Oh dear, now I’m going to have to come clean. I wasn’t burnishing when I caused the mess. I was cleaning up a neglected cast iron bandsaw table using WD40 with fine grit paper. The mess was catastrophic; a rusty oil slurry they spread and splashed everywhere, so a real pain to clean up.
That has been my only reference to using a ROS with liquids, and my reluctance to attempt burnishing with my Festool. Reading the responses here though, it’s a far drier operation than what I had envisioned.
