Feature Story
Using a high-quality sander with dust extraction saves
time and improves the overall profitability of the project.
Exterior Surface Preparation:
Higher profits and happier customers
There are two constants for paint professionals – a
substrate is solid (no rot or material defects). Even if
quality finish is the result of proper preparation, and
you’re working with a newer surface, it’s good to rough
75% of the work required to achieve a quality finish is

adheres to the material.”
Dan Frost explains it based on his 30 years of experience as a professional painter.
Frost always used power tools to prep surfaces for
finishing during his years of maintaining many of
Boston’s historic homes; he’s helped paint dealers
and contractors in the New England area understand
and appreciate the quality and productivity benefits
associated with using the right tools to prep a surface
before painting.
“Using a Festool sander and dust extractor is the best
way to prepare a surface without adding chemicals
and moisture,” Frost says. “The key to proper surface
preparation is to clean away all loose material (paint
and dirt), remove any sheen, and make sure the
Frost recommends a thorough investigation of the
surface to be painted or sealed to determine the
preparation required.
“You not only want to determine the condition of the
material substrate, but also what type of coating has
been used on it in previous surface applications,” he
notes. “Careful evaluation of the surface and substrate
condition will help determine what abrasive grit will be
needed to efficiently achieve the best results.”
For exterior surface preparation, Frost recommends
the Festool ROTEX RO 90 and ROTEX RO 125 sanders
with the CT 26 mobile dust extractor system. For
more challenging surface conditions, like rusty metal

sheen to ensure a good bond of the new paint.

Dust control makes for happier clients
The benefits of Festool’s sanding and dust extraction
system are twofold – productivity and a clean
environment, both of which make customers very
happy. As Frost points out, whenever you can get in and
get out as quickly as possible, without making a mess,
homeowners appreciate that type of professionalism.
On exterior painting projects, the dust control
feature of the Festool system is significant for
clients, because it minimizes damage to their
landscape and outdoor living areas. It also saves
painting contractors time cleaning up at the end of
the day.
“When you’re dealing with lead paint removal in
particular, the dust extraction system is the only
regulations require you to put down plastic as far out
as 20 feet from the structure and then tarp on top of
that. The Festool dust extraction system removes 98%
of the particulate material, so there’s basically nothing
that ends up on your tarps or the ground.”
This is the message Frost communicated to paint
dealers and their professional painting contractor
customers.
Educating
the
professional
painting
industry on how the Festool system can significantly
increase productivity rates, eliminate environmental
concerns, deliver a higher quality end result and higher
profitability is the mission Frost advocated. His 30
years as a professional painting contractor provides a
wealth of valuable experience that he has always been
eager to share with paint dealers and contractors alike.
way to go,” Frost says. “Exterior lead paint removal
In a recent test to compare hand scraping exterior
wood shingles versus using the powered sander/dust
extraction method, the productivity benefits were
significant. Frost says it took two workers two days to
tarp and hand strip wood shingles located on the gable
peaks of a house. With paint chips flying everywhere
and the time-consuming cleanup required at the end of
the day, it wasn’t pretty. With the powered sander/dust
extraction method, the time required was less than a
third of the hand-scraped approach, without having to
place tarps around the project.
“Whatever you can do to keep the worker on task in a
safe environment is only going to improve that worker’s
productivity and reduce wasted time required to clean
up around the project,” Frost says. “That’s the message
Festool is communicating to painting contractors
when demonstrating the value proposition of its
complete line of sanders and dust extractors. Festool
demonstrates real-life applications on a smaller scale
to show contractors the advantages it can deliver.
“Whether it is a single painting contractor using a
Festool System, or the larger painting contractor (with
several crews out in the field) using several systems,
the payoff will immediately be realized,” Frost says.
“You’ll be a more productive contractor delivering better
quality, and working on high-end projects for customers who appreciate an organized and professionallooking crew.”
And happy customers are profitable customers.
Improving productivity and profits
can be achieved by using the Rotex
RO 90 sander (at right) along with a
Festool HEPA dust extractor (upper

surface ready for a new finish.

The ultimate abrasive for paint contractors
40
Grit Range
1500
Thanks to its amazing versatility and durability,
Festool’s Granat abrasive is gaining a reputation
as the “ultimate abrasive” for both finished and
bare wood surfaces. Originally designed for
solvent-based high-VOC surfaces and paints,
its anti-clogging properties are well suited for
a broad range of applications: including clear
coats, composites, mineral and solid surfaces, in
addition to wood and wood-based materials.
Developed specifically for the painting industry.
Granat was specifically developed for prep work and
removal of paint so that it retains its tooth longer than other
abrasives. This prevents buildup or clogging, leading to
reduced waste and greater profits.
There’s no wax coating to harm your finish.
Granat contains absolutely no wax, so you won’t see any
harmful impact on your water-based finishes as you would
with other Zinc stearate abrasives. Paint contractors love
Granat because it’s perfectly suited for all types of coatings,
including low VOC’s and latex paints.
Granat cuts 30% faster.
Our tests have proven Granat to cut up to 30% faster than
other leading abrasives. This translates to as much as two or
more hours of sanding time per day. Assuming an hourly rate
of $45, that means you could save over $400 a week. That’s
$1600 per month, and nearly $15,000 per year, just in labor.
*Based on Festool internal testing. Results may vary.

favorite! I have been able to sand
much more on one sheet of Granat
than I have with any other paper.“

Make your prep work faster and more profitable
How does your workday look? You load up your truck in the
morning, drive to the jobsite, unload and set-up, then the
tedious part starts: Preparing the surface. Once prep
work is done, the real fun begins: You start to paint.
And at the end of the day you clean up, make sure
your customers are not annoyed by a big mess,
load your truck and drive home.
Let’s look at all this step-by-step and see
how Festool can save you valuable time
and put more money in your pocket
with their step reducing system.
Professional painters know a properly
prepped surface is crucial for a quality finish.
Step 1: Loading Your Truck

amount of dust all over the place), or a scraper (and a

of paint. No matter if you are working with Latex paint,
VOC paints, multiple layers of paint or delicate surfaces,
Granat is the go-to abrasive for painting contractors.
It lasts significantly longer than the abrasives you are
used to, because it clogs less, even with problematic
paints and lacquers; and in combination with the
appropriate Festool sander, it cuts faster than other
abrasives. All this means you can save a significant
amount of time during the preparing stage.

The Festool Solution: The Systainers don’t just

Step 4: Clean up
At the end of the day, you want to leave your customer’s
home as clean as possible. Customers judge your work
not just by how the paint job looks, but also how much
mess you left and how much you inconvenienced them.
After you have sanded by hand or with a sander without
dust extraction, you have a big mess to clean up. This
can take up to 1 hour at the end of the day.
The Festool Solution: Since all Festool sanders hook
up to a highly efficient HEPA vacuum, the dust is contained in the vacuum and not spread on the floor and
the furniture. At the end of the day, clean-up is a breeze
and you are out the door faster. Painting contractors
report that they save 30 to 45 minutes in clean-up every
day. That is 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours 45 minutes
a week, or 130 to 195 hours a year you are saving in
clean-up time. At an hourly rate of $40, this is up to
$7,800 in savings every year! And, probably even more
important: Your customer will be happier and will more

breaking-down in the evening. Cut down on the number
of trips to your truck and on the time needed to pack
everything up. Stack your Festool Systainers on top of
your Festool vacuum, wheel everything to your truck,
load it up, and go home. Time savings? We believe 15
to 30 minutes every workday. That is 1 hour 15 minutes
to 2 hours 30 minutes a week, 65 to 130 hours a year
just in set-up time. At an hourly rate of $40, this is up
to $5,200 in savings every year.
The Bottom Line?
Saving time means saving money, resulting in
completing more jobs in less time. You will be able to
get more business, because your bids are going to be
more competitive when you are able to do your work
in less time. Simply put, your business will be more
profitable and you will have more money in your pocket.
But that is not all. Working with Festool sanders and
vacuums will make your work not just faster, but also
easier (who likes tedious hand sanding?) and smarter
will give you the ability to stand alone when it comes to

it take to pack everything up? How many trips do you
have to do to the truck and back? As with setting-up

setting is reached while driving screws. It also lets you know when it is
time to charge the battery and when it is overloaded. Consider this drill
a true multifunction tool, that one minute is running a 1-3/8” auger bit, then
chasing a screw around a corner or up against a wall just a few seconds later.
Never again lose a favorite clutch setting thanks to the independent switch for
drilling and driving modes. Get all this and more with Festool’s line of T+3 Drills.
