SurfPrep Foam Pads for Festool
If you have a Festool sander for sanding furniture, you may be familiar with the tools and accessories that come with it. But did you know that SurfPrep foam pads for Festool are also available? Yes, these foam pads are specially designed to work with your Festool sander for a more efficient sanding experience.
So let’s look into what makes these SurfPrep foam pads so special, and how they can boost your Festool sanding system with extra function and value. They’re definitely worth considering for your next DIY projects.
SurfPrep is a trusted brand in the sanding industry, from its SurfPrep sander to its wide range of sanding accessories. You just know you get quality and reliable products when you purchase from them. And let’s talk about their SurfPrep foam pads – they’re not just compatible with SurfPrep sanders, but also with other popular brands like Festool.
Festool sanders are similar to SurfPrep sanders in terms of quality and performance but with a lower price point. You may have opted for a Festool sander to save on costs. But the good thing is, you can still get the added benefits of SurfPrep foam pads without having to switch sanders.
These foam pads from SurfPrep are hook and loop, which means they are easy and quick to attach and detach from your sander. This feature is especially useful when switching between grits or sanding different areas of the same project. Plus, you can get them in either 1/2″ or 5mm thicknesses, depending on whether you need more flexibility or rigidity.
While SurfPrep generally offers foam pads for Festool, you’ll need to match the correct size and type for your sander. This way, you can get exactly what you need and not end up with a foam pad that doesn’t fit. Now let’s check out the foam pad options that will work with your specific Festool sander model!
Rectangle SurfPrep Foam Pads
If you have the Festool RTS 400 Orbital Sander, you should get the rectangle SurfPrep ProFoam pads (Use code RAY10 to get 10% off your order) to go with it. They fit with the rectangular Festool sander, and the holes line up neatly, so you don’t have to worry about any misalignment or difficulties attaching the foam pad. Here’s my honest Festool RTS 400 REQ Sander review and see my personal experience using this sander!
SurfPrep has recently discontinued their standard foam pads for Festool sanders, but they have replaced them with these ProFoam pads for superior sanding performance. These ProFoam pads cut twice as fast and last twice as long as the regular SurfPrep foam pads did, meaning you can wrap up your sanding projects quicker and won’t need to swap pads as often. Plus, they have clog resistant dust extraction systems and self sharpening grains for consistent sanding quality throughout your project.
Triangle SurfPrep Foam Pads
For triangle detail sanders like the Festool Delta Sander DTS 400 Sander, SurfPrep also has Triangular ProFoam pads (Use code RAY10 to get 10% off your order) that fit perfectly onto the triangular shape. These ProFoam pads offer advanced performance with faster cutting and longer lasting results than their previous standard foam pads that have since been discontinued.
The triangular shape of both the DTS 400 and the triangle SurfPrep foam Pads allows for easier sanding in tight corners and edges. This makes it a great tool for detailed sanding jobs. And like the other SurfPrep foam pads, they are easy to attach and detach with the hook and loop feature, so you can easily switch grits or thickness, or replace worn pads as needed.
5″ Round SurfPrep Foam Discs
When it comes to Festool 5″ round sanders such as the Festool ETS 125 and Rotex 125, SurfPrep also has 5″ ProFoam discs (Use code RAY10 to get 10% off your order) available. They have a 9-hole option or an 8-hole option on the foam pads to make sure the holes line up with the holes on your particular sander model, so you can be sure of a perfect fit. Check out our Festool Rotex 125 review to learn more about its features and performance along with its pros and cons.
Round sanders like the ETS 125 and Rotex 125 are popular for their speed and affordability. And with these SurfPrep foam discs, you can take your round sander to the next level. Though they may not be able to reach tight corners like triangular sanders, they are still handy for larger surfaces and for quick projects.
6″ Round SurfPrep Foam Discs
And for 6″ Festool round sanders like the ETS 150/5, SurfPrep also offers 6″ foam discs (Use code RAY10 to get 10% off your order). Like the 5″ version, they line up perfectly with the holes on the sander so you’re sure to have a secure fit. And since they’re a larger size, you can cover more surface area in less time.
The Festool ETS 150/5 alone has the MULTI-JETSTREAM sanding system, which means efficient dust removal and lower abrasive consumption. So with the added bonus of SurfPrep ProFoam discs, you can save even more on abrasive costs while still getting excellent results. You also get a cleaner work area and less time spent on cleanup, allowing you to focus more on your sanding project.
Benefits of Foam Sanding Pads
We know that foam sanding pads give you a more efficient and effective sanding experience, but how so? One of the biggest advantages is that they are easy to use and gentle on wood details and curves. Unlike traditional flat sandpaper, which can easily eat through these delicate areas, foam pads provide a more cushioned and controlled sanding experience.

This means you can get smoother and more consistent results without damaging your project. You don’t want to spend time and effort sanding and then realize later on that you’ve created uneven or damaged areas on your project. With foam sanding pads, you can avoid this issue and have more confidence in your sanding process.
Plus, with SurfPrep’s ProFoam options, you can speed up your sanding and save time without compromising on quality. Not to mention the durability of these foam sanding pads, lasting twice as long as traditional sandpaper, providing you with more value for your money.
