Festool RTSC 400 3.0 I-Set Cordless Orbital Sander

At a Glance: 18 V cordless orbital sander with 80 x 130 mm sanding pad, 2 mm sanding stroke, Bluetooth Ergo batteries and plug-it mains adapter for continuous sanding.

The Festool RTSC 400 3.0 I-Set is a compact cordless orbital sander designed for fine sanding, finishing work and detailed surface preparation where freedom of movement matters. With its 18 V Bluetooth Ergo battery pack, brushless EC-TEC motor and balanced one-handed design, this sander gives you cable-free control for vertical surfaces, overhead work, window frames, door frames, narrow panels and awkward areas. The rectangular 80 x 130 mm sanding pad makes it especially practical for edges, corners and smaller flat surfaces where a round sander is not always the best fit.

Cordless freedom with the option of mains power

The RTSC 400 3.0 I-Set gives you the best of both worlds: battery-powered sanding for mobility and a plug-it mains adapter option for longer, continuous sanding sessions. It is a clever Festool sanding solution for mobile site work, workshop finishing and dust-controlled indoor sanding.

Product highlights

18 V cordless sanding Work without a power cable when sanding vertically, overhead or away from a plug point.
Bluetooth Ergo battery packs Can communicate with compatible Festool Bluetooth dust extractors for automatic extractor start-up.
Plug-it mains adapter included Allows continuous mains operation when longer sanding sessions are required.
80 x 130 mm rectangular sanding pad Ideal for narrow surfaces, frames, edges, panels and detailed flat areas.
2 mm sanding stroke Designed for fine sanding and smooth finishing work.
Brushless EC-TEC motor Provides efficient power delivery, long service life and low maintenance.
Integrated dust extraction Works with the long-life dust collection bag or a compatible Festool dust extractor.
Protector included Helps protect edges, adjacent surfaces and the sanding pad during close-edge sanding.
Compact one-handed design Low height and balanced ergonomics make the machine easy to guide and control.

Extra Information

The RTSC 400 is especially useful where a rectangular sanding pad gives better access than a round pad.
The Bluetooth Ergo battery can automatically start a compatible Bluetooth-enabled Festool dust extractor when the sander is switched on.
The included plug-it mains adapter allows the sander to be used from mains power for longer sanding sessions.
The long-life dust collection bag is reusable and useful when sanding without a connected extractor.
The protector helps when sanding close to windows, frames, panels and finished surfaces.
The I-Set version is supplied in a Systainer³ COMBI for organised storage and transport of the tool, batteries, charger and accessories.

Pro Tips

Use the cordless setup for quick mobile jobs, then switch to the plug-it mains adapter when doing longer indoor sanding sessions.
Use the protector when sanding close to glass, frames, panelling or finished edges to help prevent accidental scuffing.
For the cleanest finish, work through the abrasive grits gradually instead of jumping from coarse to fine.
Keep the sander flat on the surface and avoid pressing too hard; light, even pressure produces a better sanding pattern.
Connect a suitable Festool dust extractor when sanding paint, filler, MDF or other dusty materials indoors.

How to Use

Fit the correct 80 x 133 mm abrasive sheet to the StickFix sanding pad.
Insert a charged Festool 18 V Ergo battery pack, or fit the plug-it mains adapter for continuous mains operation.
Attach the long-life dust collection bag or connect a compatible Festool dust extractor.
Fit the protector if sanding close to edges, frames or adjacent surfaces.
Select the correct speed setting for the material and sanding task.
Place the sanding pad flat on the workpiece before switching the machine on.
Guide the sander evenly across the surface with light, controlled pressure.
Move progressively through the required abrasive grits until the desired finish is achieved.
Allow the sanding pad to stop before lifting the machine from the surface.
Remove the battery or disconnect the mains adapter before cleaning, changing accessories or storing the machine.

Benefits

More mobility: No cable dragging over the surface when sanding doors, frames, vertical panels or overhead areas.
