Sanding stroke size (measured in mm) determines how aggressively a sander removes material and the smoothness of the finish. Smaller strokes (2–3 mm) are best for fine and finish sanding, delivering ultra-smooth results, while larger strokes (5 mm) are great for rapid material removal and intermediate sanding. For example, the Festool 576070 Random Orbital Sander ETS 125 REQ-Plus offers a fine 2 mm stroke for precise work, while the Festool 576088 Random Orbital Sander ETS 150/5 EQ-Plus provides a 5 mm stroke for faster removal. Multiple stroke options are available, allowing you to select the right tool for your task—whether fine finishing or quick sanding.
