Mineral material – demanding in every respect.
Demanding in appearance. Demanding in its look and feel.
And also demanding in the surface finish. The Festool system
concept brings added value, especially when sanding and
polishing mineral materials. Whether you need to remove
material quickly and efficiently, produce an extra-fine sanding
pattern as a basis for the perfect finish or prepare an immaculate, high-gloss polished surface.
Tested to the limit
In the Festool dust chamber, machines
must be able to withstand particularly
fine, aggressive dust from the notorious
plains of Arizona without the functional
reliability suffering. Also tested to the
limit.
Robust ergonomic electric power tools designed for long periods of non-tiring operation, adapted pads and sanding pads for
transferring force perfectly and abrasives and polishing agents
developed with the same care as the range of tools. The system
concept includes integral dust extraction and individually adapted mobile dust extractors that take environmental and health
issues into consideration.

The lukewarm mineral material has a
decisive advantage in contrast to cold
natural stone: It is non-porous and
homogeneous. It is also extremely
resistant against many chemical residue
and is therefore ideal as a surface
material for the medical area (e.g. lab
benches). But also in the hotel and
catering trade, in shopfitting, in banks or
offices, you can find mineral materials in
the form of work surfaces, washbasins,

more.
As a result, this material is attracting
increasing interest and every company,
who wants to hold its ground in high-end
interior construction over the long term,
should familiarise themselves with the
material, its possibilities and proper
processing. The material is even used
in aeroplanes, in sanitary facilities.
Because, in addition to the material
advantages already mentioned, the
option to process virtually any type of
mineral material using existing machinery
is mainly to the fore for the processor.
For many years now we, at Festool, have
been considered the pioneers in expert
groups when it comes to mineral
materials.

or steam baths.
Cutting mineral
material panel
Mineral materials should only be cut
using stationary or handheld circular
saws with guide rails. Jigsaws are not
suitable for the cut due to the vibrations and type of saw teeth on the
jigsaw blades. Fine cracks and
damage at the sawing edge may occur.
The use of a plunge-cut saw together
with a guide rail is optimal. Long,
dead-straight recesses can be
realised with help of the plunge-cut
function. A straight and scratch-free
cutting edge is the most important
prerequisite for perfectly thick
bonding. It is imperative you rework
unclean edges using a bench-mounted
router or the router with guide rail.
Otherwise, there is a risk that the
bonding remains visible.
Only use the special saw blade for
mineral materials with trapezoidal flat tooth for sawing (160 x 2.2 x
20 mm, Z 48, Order No. 496308).
The optimal speed is between
stages 4 and 6. An initial test cut
at stage 6 and a subsequent
inspection of the cutting edge is
recommended.
1
Using the plunge-cut saw
TS 55 REBQ in conjunction with
the guide rail, you can achieve
precise and extremely clean cutting edges without grooves and
notches. As here the panel is not
moved, but the machine, the risk
of scratches on or under the
panel is also very low.
2
Creating a routing
template
For moulded parts (e.g. basins), which
are bonded directly under the panel,
many manufacturers do not offer
templates, but only the appropriate
data for processing on a CNC machine.
As precise templates are not achieved
with these so-called S-sink moulded
parts, you can create a template
yourself with little effort (see image
sequence on the right).
However, if washbasins and sinks are
flush-mounted, you also need the
appropriate routing template from the
manufacturer. The router must also be
equipped with the copying ring suitable
for the template and the appropriate
gang cutter. This may comprise the
spiral groove cutter (Order No.
492655) with which the cut-out is
routed and a 15-degree angular cutter
(Order No. 492663), with which the
edge of the cut-out is chamfered to the
edge of the basin. If panels and basins
should stand out from each other
in terms of colour, flush-mounted
fixtures are the best choice.

Routing basin cut-out
The basic prerequisite to be able to
process mineral materials precisely
and neatly is a high-quality router with
at least 1400 watt and a 12 mm
clamping collet. In addition to a
high-performance router such as the
Festool OF 2200, the cutters used
must also be decisive for optimal
results without lengthy reworking.
Only use high-quality, carbide-tipped,
sharp cutters, which have been
adjusted to the use in mineral materials in terms of material quality and
cutting geometry. For flush trim,
roundover or false raised panel
cutters, the ball bearing guide should
have a plastic coating, so that no
scratch marks and damage on the
mineral material occur, which you then
have to sand out again with difficulty
(see cutter selection in appendix). Do
not exceed the permissible maximum
speed for very large cutter diameters.
1
Spiral groove cutters are particularly tough and
leave behind unrivalled clean routing edges due
to the "pulling" cut. For quick milling of basin
cut-outs, the roughing and semi-finishing cutter
on the far right is most suitable.
2
Secure the template using clamps on the
mineral material panel. So that the machine
cannot tip inwards, the level adjustment can
be attached as an option (small photo).
Using a 17 mm copying
ring in conjunction
with a 12 mm spiral
groove roughing cutter, the rough inner
contour of the basin
is cut out in less than
two minutes using the
high-performance
Festool OF 2200 EBQ.
3
Preparing
bonding
Before bonding, you should first of all
check the accuracy of fit of all parts to
be bonded. Because only if all parts fit
together is the bonding no longer
noticeable at a later stage. In the next
step the splices are carefully cleaned
using denatured alcohol such as ethyl
alcohol or acetone. Under no circumstances use dilutions, because they do
not have a dissolving effect and thus
may have a negative effect on the
adhesive strength. Also clean the
inside edge of the basin using a
lint-free cloth and ensure that all
impurities, such as pencil marks, are
removed completely. Avoid touching
the cleaned areas again, because that
may cause a reduction of the adhesive
strength.
In order to achieve inconspicuous
and smooth bonding, it is very
important to check the evenness
of the edge of the basin. Any unevenness is best removed manually
only using a sanding block.
1
The bottom of the mineral material
panel must also be perfectly flat.
Here you can use the eccentric
sander ETS 150 /3 with sandpaper
of grit 120 (Festool Granat P 120).

Bonding basin
to panel
Almost all manufacturers of mineral
materials supply adhesives suitable
for their panels. They are generally
offered as two-component acrylic
adhesives. The adhesive whose colour
is adapted perfectly to the panel is
supplied in a two-chamber cartridge
(coloured adhesive and hardener), for
which the manufacturer also offers
the suitable cartridge gun and mixer
nozzle. Check the expiry date of the
adhesive before use and take note of
the manufacturer's instructions for
correct storage of the adhesive.
Discard the initial quantity (approx.
2-3 cm) released before applying the
adhesive and only apply the adhesive
on one side. Two-sided adhesive
application is only required for flushmounted installation of moulded
parts. Apply the exact quantity of
adhesive precisely in accordance with
the manufacturer's specifications.
Secure the components using clamps
until the adhesive has hardened.
However, avoid exerting excessive
pressure, so that all the adhesive is
not pressed out of the joint. The result
would be reduced adhesion and fragile
bonding.
Do not use the 2K special adhesive for
bonding mineral materials and wood.
As mineral materials expand in heat,
but wood shrinks, a permanently
elastic adhesive such as silicone is
imperative for bonding wood and
wooden materials.
1
Align the basin to the reverse side of the panel
and secure it there using a pair of boards.
Instead of clamps, you can also secure the
boards on the panel using hot adhesive.
3
Mix the joint adhesive and apply a thick bead
around the basin opening roughly 5 mm from
the edge.
5
2
Only use the 2K adhesive recommended by the
manufacturer and which matches the colour
of the mineral-based panel. The supplier also
provides the suitable cartridge gun and mixer
nozzle.
4
Turn the basin and lower it between the boards.
Press the basin down firmly into the correct
position.
Look through the discharge outlet
and check whether the adhesive
emerges over the entire joint.
Position a pair of clamps (only
tighten slightly!), in order to keep
the basin in position until the
adhesive hardens (approx. 45 to
60 minutes). If no notches are
visible in the joint after applying
pressure using the fingernail,
the adhesive has hardened.
Routing the protrusion
flush
Only if the adhesive has completely
hardened (fingernail test), route the
protrusion of the panel flush to the
inner edge of the basin using a highperformance router. Proceed in two
steps. Using a flush trim cutter which
has a slightly larger ball bearing at the
end, first of all route the protrusion
only up to approx. 1.5 mm to the edge
of the basin. Then replace the cutter
with a special basin cutter with a ball
bearing guide. This cutter is available
First of all, route the
panel protrusion to the
basin opening using
the flush trim cutter
(Order No. 492661) and
the slightly larger ball
bearing. A small protrusion of 1.5 mm
remains. Ensure that
the ball bearing is not on the
adhesive bead.

in different inclines (6, 12 and 18º) and
radii (6.35 and 12.7 mm). While the size
of the radius is a matter of taste, the
incline should be adjusted to the basin.
The routing depth is selected so that
the rounding or the radius levels off on
the panel surface. Remove minimal
unevenness right at the end using the
ROTEX sander.
2
Using a basin cutter with ball bearing guide
(here 6º and R=12.7), the remaining protrusion
is removed and the inner edge of the basin is
rounded in a single step.
3
Then complete the remaining precision work
using the ROTEX sander in combination with a
soft sanding pad and additional interface pad.
Bonding front trim and
routing flush
Folded edges and trims are popular
design features when using mineral
materials. They highlight the homogeneous and smooth structure of a work
surface or a washbasin. Trims and
edges can either be bonded bluntly
directly under the panel, or sit in an
approx. 2 mm deep adhesive hinge.
While the trim can slip very quickly
onto the adhesive track in the case of
blunt bonding, an additional adhesive
hinge automatically ensures perfect
positioning of the edge. However, for
blunt bonding you can also secure
small wooden blocks on the panel
using hot adhesive, in order to fix the
position of the trim.
However, with both methods it is
extremely important for invisible
bonding that the trim edge and panel
surface fit together without any
obvious gaps. Clean all splices
thoroughly before bonding. Also
ensure that sufficient adhesive is
applied to the edge. Because joints
which are insufficiently filled often
lead to chamfered edges when loaded.
If you would like to use trims over
100 mm high, then the trim must be
reinforced on the reverse side with
a continuous 12 x 12 mm strip of
mineral material and bonded.
1
Saw a narrow strip (here 40 mm) of mineral
material and check the cutting edge. Apply the
matching adhesive to the edge.
Position the strip flush and with roughly 2 mm
setback to the panel edge and secure there
using clamps (only tighten slightly!) until the
adhesive has hardened.
Route the panel protrusion flush to the front
trim using the flush trim
cutter and suitable ball
bearing (Order No.
491120). The inclined
cutter blade (small
photo) ensures a
"pulling" cut and thus
a very neat milling surface.
3
At the end the edges of the front
trim are rounded using a roundover cutter (here R=6.35) (Order
No. 492695). The roundover cutters
also have special plastic-coated
ball bearings. Normal ball bearings
can leave behind scratch and
grinding marks on the front trim
or panel surface.

Sanding washbasin to matt
finish
The ROTEX sander is best suited for
the perfect end finishing of mineral
materials. You can use this all-round
sander for course and fine sanding, as
well as for polishing. You can change
the suitable sanding pads for the
ROTEX in a matter of seconds without
the need for an additional tool. Use the
hard sanding pad for coarse sanding
or sanding the surface of all even
areas. For fine sanding, change to the
soft sanding pad and for sanding
curves and inner radii use the supersoft sanding pad in conjunction with
an interface pad. You achieve optimal
results in minimal time with the
Festool abrasive Granat®. The matt
end finish is achieved using the
Vlies S 800.
For sanding the surface of areas,
use a hard sanding pad in conjunction with sandpaper of grit
P 120 (Festool Granat). Set the
machine to coarse sanding and
the speed stage between 4 ad 6.

residue and establish level surfaces.

... interface pad as well as the super-soft sanding pad. The flexible pad adapts brilliantly to all
details and is also suitable for the inner areas
of the basin.
A semi-matt surface is not only much easier
to create for the processor than a high-gloss
surface, but is also considerably easier to clean
for the customer. Explain the care of mineral
materials to the customer and show him how
he can remove traces of usage using circular
movements with a soft scouring powder or a
mild liquid cleaning agent.

Sanding and matting mineral
materials
First of all, it is very important to work
with a high-performance dust extractor and a filter bag (CTM mobile dust
extractor) to protect the machine and
the user. When sanding you should
only exert light pressure on the
machine. Replace the sanding discs if
the sanding effect weakens. Otherwise, there is a risk of scoring. Always
sand the entire area crosswise and
lengthwise in a north-south direction
and then in an east-west direction in
circular movements, during which the
sanding areas always overlap by at
least half. After each sanding step
carefully wipe away the dust using
a damp, clean cloth. If necessary,
also clean the sanding discs.
Only use the ROTEX in the coarse
sanding setting for initially sanding the
surface, removing coarse adhesive
seams and material residue and for
polishing. All other sanding areas are
carried out in the eccentric sander
setting. However, for dark colours and
if the area is to be polished at a later
stage, the ETS 150/3 is recommended,
as fewer stress marks occur with the
lower sanding stroke.
In coarse sanding mode,
the entire area is initially sanded smooth
using the hard pad (blue)
and Granat® sandpaper
of grit P 120. Carefully
remove swarf.
1
Coarse sanding
Carefully work the area
in eccentric sander
mode crosswise and
lengthwise using the
black sanding pad
(hardness: S/HT) and
Granat® sandpaper
of grits P 180, P 240
and P 500 (image 2).
2
Intermediate sanding
For a matt end finish,
sand the area using the
Vlies S 800 (image 3).
If a high-gloss finish is
desired, sand the area
carefully crosswise and
lengthwise using the
eccentric sander
ETS 150/3 and Granat®
P 800.
3
Matt end finish
Polishing the surface to a
silky lustre or high-gloss
finish
The basic prerequisite for perfect
polishing results is a fine-sanded,
scratch-free panel surface. For light
and marl shades, careful fine-sanding
crosswise and lengthwise with
Granat® P 1500 is sufficient. For dark,
plain-coloured panels (e.g. black or
dark red), often sanding with more
intermediate steps and an even finer
final sanding is required, in order to
obtain a perfect high-gloss surface
without visible sanding marks (sanding process up to Platin® 2 S 4000).
In addition to careful gradual sanding,
10
4
After thorough cleaning of the surface between each sanding step, the entire panel is already sanded
to a slightly shiny surface with the eccentric sander ETS 150/3 and the Granat® sandpaper of grits
P 1000 and P 1500 (image 4).
cleaning the surfaces between each
step with the Festool Finish cleaning
agent and the microfibre cloths is a
guarantee for top-class high-gloss
surfaces with impressive penetration.
Even if the ROTEX is well suited as an
all-round machine for polishing, you
can achieve significantly quicker work
progress with the Festool rotary
polisher SHINEX RAP 150. The lightweight and ergonomic design with
optimal centre of gravity also guarantee effortless continuous use. The
polishing pad can also be accelerated
(gain speed gradually) using the
variable speed trigger (ideal for
distributing the polish) and adjusted
at any time to the set final speed
(400 - 2100 rpm).
Only two polishing agents are required
for the high-gloss polishing of mineral
materials. Firstly, the MPA 5000/1,
which ensures a very high degree of
shine with its high abrasiveness in the
first step, and secondly, the MPA 8000,
which then leaves behind an even
more intensive penetration effect.
This penetration accounts for the
particular attraction of a high-gloss
surface. In order to avoid misunderstandings and subsequent complaints,
you should point out that high-gloss
surfaces require significantly more
care and are rather unsuitable for
areas and fittings (e.g. in the kitchen
and bathroom) used on a daily basis.
5
Final sanding of the area with Platin® 2 S 2000 and S 4000. You obtain a silk gloss surface, which
is quite sufficient for everyday usage.
6
7
After the final sanding, the surface is thoroughly
cleaned again with the Festool Finish cleaning
agent MPA-F and the grey microfibre cloth. This
allows the quick and reliable removal of minimal
grinding residue and fingerprints. If you still
want to polish the surface afterwards, first of
all, you should clean the surface using this
method in order to obtain an optimal polishing
result.
8
After each polish change, clean the area with the coarse side of the green
polishing cloth (microfibre cloth), so that no polish residue remains on the
surface.
Equip ROTEX with polishing pad P and hard
polishing felt and set to coarse sanding mode.
Apply polish MPA 5000/1 sparingly onto the
area. When the machine is switched off distribute
the polish over the entire area. Then start up
the machine at speed stage 1 and as time passes
turn up the polishing speed to 4 - 6. This avoids
polish splashes. Polish the entire area quickly
crosswise and lengthwise.
9
At the end, apply the sanding polish MPA 8000 and position the soft
polishing felt (here with the SHINEX RAP 150, alternatively, also possible
with the ROTEX RO 150). During polishing move the machine again
quickly over the surface. This avoids the panel area heating up.
www.festool.com
11
Then thoroughly clean the entire area with
the fine side of the green polishing cloth and
remove all polish residue. An intense deep
gloss is achieved which is only possible with
a high-gloss polish.
10
Drilling and fastening in
mineral materials
The drilling of bore holes is also
possible with HSS drill bits (up to max.
Ø 10 mm) and carbide-tipped cylinder
drill bits. Under no circumstances
should you use other drill bits such as
auger or stone drill bits. Cracks may
form in the panel.
For hole cut-outs for fittings, you
should round the upper and lower
edge of the hole to avoid damage due
to mechanical stress. This is best done
with the router and a 2 mm roundover
cutter. For very large hole diameters,
it is best to use a router with a copying
ring and suitable template.
Direct screwing in the mineral material,
e.g. with chipboard screws, is not
possible. Cracks can form in the mineral
material panel, which occur straight
away or over the course of time.
If you secure work surfaces with a
mineral material overlay to floor units,
the holes should be drilled approx.
1 - 2 mm bigger than the screws used.
Ensure that the screw length is
selected so that it does not go through
the substructure to the mineral
material. Flat-head screws offer the
highest degree of safety here in
comparison to countersunk screws.
With carbide-tipped cylinder drill
bits, you achieve neater bore
holes without any splinters. Drill
using light pressure and position
a piece of wood underneath if
possible for through-holes. Do
not select too high of a speed.
Otherwise, there is a risk of
overheating, which may change
the colour of the panel.
1
You can also easily and very
neatly create smaller bore holes
with a diameter up to 10 mm
using HSS drill bits with inverted
V-point (60º). It is generally useful
to countersink the bore holes a
little, in order to avoid damage
due to mechanical stress.
2
Do not under any circumstances
screw the screws directly into the
mineral material. In doing so the
manufacturer’s guarantee
becomes void! Only use plastic or
brass expanding sockets (image
on left) to secure, for example,
a fitting at the mineral material.
In general, do not tighten the
screws too tight!

Efficient dry sanding for the perfect surface.
The ROTEX RO 150 geared eccentric sander, ETS 150/5
eccentric sander and LEX 3 150/5 compressed air eccentric
sander all achieve excellent results when dry sanding mineral materials. And because the surface quality is decisive
for dark surfaces, here there is the specialists with 3 mm
sanding stroke: the ETS 150/3 or the compressed air variant
LEX 3 150/3.
Integrated in a complete system of abrasives suitable for the
tool and material (Granat, Platin 2 and Vlies), excellent results
are guaranteed with ROTEX, ETS and LEX. More intermediate
steps are always needed if a higher gloss finish is required.
Festool abrasives are up to the job: The right grit is available
for every requirement – from relatively coarse grit for matt
results to extremely fine grit for high-gloss surfaces.
