Q: What grit should you use to sand drywall?
Start with a coarser grit, such as 120, for heavy ridges or high spots, then finish with 150 to 220 grit for a smooth, paint-ready surface.
ZT578408 - Festool Planex Easy Drywall Sander LHS-E 225 EQ-CB
The Planex Easy drywall sander is designed to make drywall sanding more manageable, particularly during extended overhead or wall work. Its single-piece construction and plug-and-go design allow quick set-up with minimal adjustment.
Well-balanced handling and low overall weight improve control and reduce fatigue during prolonged use. The direct-drive EC-TEC brushless motor uses a motor-over-pad configuration with a flexible head joint to maintain maneuverability. Because it has no flexible drive cable or replaceable carbon brushes, routine maintenance requirements are reduced.
A removable upper section permits sanding closer to adjoining surfaces and inside edges. Integrated dust extraction captures dust at the sanding surface when connected to an appropriate dust extractor, helping reduce airborne dust and clean-up time.
Compatible with existing Planex abrasives.
