Festool LEX 3 150/5 Compressed Air Eccentric Sander

At a Glance: 150 mm pneumatic eccentric sander with 5 mm sanding stroke, low vibration and only 290 l/min air consumption.

The Festool LEX 3 150/5 is a professional compressed air eccentric sander designed for fast, efficient and comfortable sanding in demanding workshop environments. With its 150 mm sanding pad and 5 mm sanding stroke, it is perfectly suited to coarse and intermediate sanding where fast progress and a high-quality finish are both important. The LEX 3 150/5 is lightweight, smooth-running and quiet in operation, making it an excellent choice for automotive finishing, kitchen and furniture manufacturing, joinery, paint preparation and solid surface work.

Fast sanding progress with excellent control

The LEX 3 150/5 balances removal rate and surface quality beautifully. It has enough stroke for efficient sanding progress, while still giving the control needed for clean intermediate sanding on wood, fillers, paint, varnish and mineral materials.

Product highlights

5 mm sanding stroke Ideal for fast coarse and intermediate sanding with a clean finish.
150 mm sanding pad Covers surfaces efficiently while maintaining excellent handling.
Low compressed air consumption Uses only 290 l/min at rated load for better running economy.
Low vibration design Helps reduce fatigue and supports healthier working over longer sanding sessions.
Quiet operation Comfortable sound level for workshop use compared with many conventional air sanders.
Robust pneumatic motor Built for long service life with minimal servicing requirements.
MULTI-JETSTREAM sanding pad Supports efficient dust extraction and a high-quality sanding pattern.
Sanding pad brake Helps reduce sanding marks when placing the machine onto the workpiece.
IAS system compatibility Supports compressed air supply, dust extraction and exhaust air handling in one hose system.

Extra Information

The LEX 3 150/5 requires an IAS 2 or IAS 3 connecting system for operation.
The 5 mm stroke makes this version a strong all-round choice for coarse and intermediate sanding.
Use with suitable Festool abrasives for the best balance of removal rate, surface quality and abrasive life.
The IAS hose system combines compressed air, dust extraction and exhaust air management for a cleaner sanding setup.
This pneumatic sander is especially well suited to professional users who sand for long periods in a workshop environment.

Pro Tips

Use the correct sanding pad hardness for the job: hard for flat surfaces, soft or ultra-soft for shaped or contoured work.
Pair the LEX 3 150/5 with the Festool IAS hose system to get the best dust extraction and air supply performance.
Do not press too hard while sanding; let the 5 mm stroke and abrasive do the work for a smoother result.
Use a progressive grit sequence when preparing surfaces for paint, varnish or clear coat finishing.
Keep the pneumatic system clean and correctly lubricated to help extend motor life and maintain sanding performance.

How to Use

Fit the correct 150 mm StickFix abrasive disc to the sanding pad.
Connect the required IAS 2 or IAS 3 hose system to the sander.
Make sure the compressed air supply is set to the correct operating pressure.
Connect suitable dust extraction before starting work.
Place the sanding pad flat on the workpiece before starting the sander.
Start the sander and guide it evenly across the surface with light, controlled pressure.
Move through the required abrasive grits according to the finish needed.
Allow the sanding pad to stop before lifting the machine from the surface.
After use, disconnect the air supply and clean dust from the machine and pad area.

Application

Coarse sanding of flat surfaces.
Intermediate sanding of flat surfaces and curves.
Coarse and intermediate sanding of filler in multi-step sanding systems.
Intermediate sanding of wood, paint and clear coats.
Preliminary sanding of mineral and solid surface materials.
Automotive sanding and preparation work.
Kitchen, furniture and joinery sanding applications.

Safety

Wear suitable eye, ear and dust protection when sanding.
Only operate the sander with the required IAS 2 or IAS 3 connecting system.
Make sure the compressed air supply is clean, dry and set to the correct pressure.
Secure the workpiece properly before sanding.
Use suitable dust extraction to reduce airborne dust and protect the work surface.
Do not use excessive pressure; this can reduce surface quality and shorten abrasive life.
Keep hands clear of the sanding pad while the machine is running.
Disconnect the air supply before changing sanding pads, servicing or cleaning the machine.
Check hoses and connections before use to prevent air leaks or accidental disconnection.
Take extra care when sanding coatings, fillers or unknown materials that may create harmful dust.
