Festool Ultra-Soft Sanding Pad ST-STF-D 215/8-LHS 225-SW 215mm

At a Glance: Ultra-soft 215mm sanding pad designed to adapt beautifully to both flat and curved surfaces.

Achieve controlled, consistent sanding across flat surfaces, gentle curves and shaped areas with the Festool ST-STF-D 215/8-LHS 225-SW Sanding Pad. Developed for compatible PLANEX and PLANEX easy long-reach sanders, this ultra-soft pad adapts closely to the surface profile instead of resisting it. Its carefully designed geometry also supports effective dust extraction and reduces the effort required when sanding walls, ceilings and curved surfaces.

The adaptable sanding pad for flat and curved surfaces

The ultra-soft construction allows the sanding pad to conform to changing surface contours, making it an excellent choice for painters, drywall installers and renovation professionals. Combined with Festool hook-and-loop abrasives and an appropriate dust-extraction system, it supports smooth sanding progress and a cleaner working environment.

Product highlights

Ultra-soft construction: Adapts closely to curved, arced and even surfaces.
Versatile surface contact: Suitable for universal sanding on both flat and shaped areas.
Optimised geometry: Encourages effective suction support for easier, less tiring work.
215mm diameter: Provides broad surface coverage for efficient wall and ceiling sanding.
Hook-and-loop attachment: Allows compatible Festool abrasives to be fitted and changed quickly.
Professional compatibility: Designed for the PLANEX 225 EQ and PLANEX easy long-reach sanders.

Extra Information

Suitable for the Festool PLANEX 225 EQ and PLANEX easy long-reach sanders.
Not suitable for the PLANEX LHS 2 225 EQ long-reach sander.
Not suitable for the PLANEX LHS 2-M 225 EQ long-reach sander.
Use only compatible 215mm hook-and-loop sanding discs with the correct extraction-hole pattern.
The pad foam can become brittle as it ages and must be checked for wear before every use.

Pro Tips

Use only light, even pressure and allow the ultra-soft pad to follow the shape of the surface naturally.
Align the sanding-disc extraction holes carefully with the holes in the pad to maintain efficient dust removal.
Start the sander with the pad positioned flat against the surface to reduce the risk of creating edge marks.
Keep the pad moving steadily and overlap each pass for a more uniform finish.
Replace the sanding disc before it becomes excessively worn or clogged, as a worn abrasive increases heat and sanding time.
Inspect the hook-and-loop surface and foam regularly. Replace the pad if it becomes brittle, distorted or no longer retains abrasives securely.

How to Use

Switch off and disconnect the long-reach sander from its power supply before changing the sanding pad.
Confirm that the sanding pad is compatible with the exact PLANEX model being used.
Remove the existing pad according to the instructions supplied with the machine.
Inspect the mounting area and remove any accumulated dust or debris.
Position the ST-STF-D 215/8-LHS 225-SW sanding pad correctly and secure it firmly to the machine.
Attach a compatible 215mm hook-and-loop sanding disc, carefully aligning all extraction holes.
Connect a suitable dust extractor and select an appropriate machine speed and extraction setting.
Place the pad evenly against the surface and sand using smooth, overlapping movements without excessive pressure.
After use, disconnect the machine and inspect the pad foam and hook-and-loop surface for wear or damage.

Features

Ultra-soft pad: The flexible construction conforms to flat, curved and arced surfaces.
Specially designed pad geometry: Supports the extraction airflow through the sanding system.
215mm working diameter: Covers large wall and ceiling areas efficiently.
Eight-hole configuration: Aligns with compatible extraction-hole patterns for efficient dust removal.
Hook-and-loop face: Provides fast and secure attachment of suitable sanding discs.
Purpose-designed accessory: Engineered for compatible Festool PLANEX long-reach sanders.

Benefits

Improved contour following: The ultra-soft pad maintains more consistent contact when moving between flat and curved areas.
Reduced sanding effort: Its extraction-supporting geometry helps the sanding system move more easily over the workpiece.
Consistent results: Even pad contact helps minimise uneven sanding across changing surface profiles.
Faster abrasive changes: The hook-and-loop system allows worn discs or different grits to be changed quickly.
Professional surface preparation: Ideal for drywall, painting and renovation work on walls, ceilings and shaped surfaces.

Application

Sanding flat wall and ceiling surfaces.
Sanding curved, arced and contoured surfaces.
Preparing drywall and plaster surfaces for finishing.
Removing or smoothing suitable fillers and finishing compounds.
Painting and decorating surface-preparation work.
Professional renovation and interior-finishing applications.

Safety

Wear suitable eye, ear and respiratory protection while sanding.
Disconnect the sander from its power supply before installing, inspecting or replacing the sanding pad.
Inspect the pad foam before every use because ageing can cause the foam to become brittle.
Do not use the sanding pad if the foam is cracked, brittle, distorted or separating from its backing.
Ensure the pad is correctly mounted and the sanding disc is securely attached before starting the machine.
Use only compatible abrasives of the correct diameter and hole pattern.
Do not exceed the operating speed specified for the connected long-reach sander and sanding accessories.
Use suitable dust extraction and follow the safety requirements for the material being sanded.
Always follow the operating and safety instructions supplied with the Festool long-reach sander.
