With the new RENOFIX RG 130 ECI surface-restoration grinder Festool is guaranteeing unlimited power on all substrates.
The key to any successful restoration work is in the substrate preparation and that makes the Festool RENOFIX RG 130 ECI surface restoration grinder your perfect partner when removing old coatings and adhesive residue.
Suitable for carpenters, painters, parquet flooring and floor layers, the tool benefits from an efficient EC-TEC brushless motor offering a constant high material removal capacity without overheating and shutdowns. Keeping the workplace clean and your health intact is efficiently achieved with the CTM 36 AC RENOFIX extractor, with the addition of the CT-VA pre-separator for particularly high volumes of dust.
In addition, the RG 130 ECI can establish a connection to the extractor via Bluetooth. If the surface-restoration grinder is connected to another electricity source, this means extraction can be started automatically.
Not only that, uneven substrates may cause leaks between the brush ring and the material. To prevent this from happening, the spring-loaded brush ring adapts to the surface being sanded and, therefore, ensures excellent extraction. The folding brush segment is particularly practical. It enables old coatings and adhesive residue to be removed right up to the wall or edge. Thanks to the diamond disc, which is recessed by 0.5mm, there is virtually no damage.
Practical tips from an expert
Philipp Stahl – application engineer at Festool and master painter – recommends adapting your working methods to suit the material: “From an economic point of view, and in the long-term, it is always worth using the optimum disc: A few steps are all it takes to easily and quickly swap out the disc. This means that the disc cannot get clogged and that it is perfectly fit for purpose. Here we have thought about most substrates, thus there are discs perfectly suited to concrete, screed, paint, adhesive or other coatings as well as the DIA HARD, ABRASIVE, STONE, THERMO and PAINT diamond discs.
Stahl also advises setting the ideal speed for every application: “Depending on the material and requirement, the speed of the new surface-restoration grinder can be adjusted flexibly – between 2,200 and 6,500rpm. The fact that the intelligent EC-TEC motor keeps the speed extremely constant even in the lower ranges makes it particularly practical for day-to-day work. What I really like about the new surface-restoration grinder is that the guide table allows the grinder to be guided steadily and that the removal height can be variably adjusted. This is perfect for the removal of old coatings on wooden floorboards.”
