Drywall Mud Sander

Drywall sanding. No stilts required.

Being on stilts can be hazardous with cables and hoses littering the floor. We realize that when you're sanding drywall, there are all sorts of spaces that you will need to work in. That's why the PLANEX drywall sander has a modular design comprised of sections that quickly and easily assemble or disassemble to the perfect length for the task at hand.

Planex drywall sander lengths

Whether you're in a tight space, such as a hallway, or working on a high ceiling, the PLANEX drywall sander can be configured to the proper length in seconds. Use the support harness for overhead work, like ceilings, to support the PLANEX without fatigue.*

* Second extension section and support harness are sold separately.

Light as a feather.

You might think that a machine like the PLANEX would be tiring to handle for hours, but that's not the case. The suction from the optional CT 36 AutoClean Dust Extractor can be regulated with a dial that's right at your fingertips. By regulating the suction, the PLANEX will support its own weight which reduces fatigue. Designed for durability, the PLANEX is very strong and rigid but also very light weight. Add the optional support harness for overhead work for additional comfort.

Articulating drywall sander head

Articulating head for great maneuverability.

The flexible, pivoting head on the PLANEX let's you sand floor to ceiling and open wall to corner with ease. Quickly switch from extracting dust from the outside of the pad to the inside of the pad, providing optimal dust collection depending on the application. A robust gear drive system offers efficient transfer of power to the sander pad and will last much longer than a cable drive system.

The sander pad is spring-loaded, ensuring good contact with the surface without making sanding swirls. The brush surrounding the pad aids with capturing dust and cleaning residual dust from the surface like a sweep. A section of the brush can be removed allowing you to get right up against adjacent surfaces.

Economical, long-lasting abrasives.

The true cost of a tool is based on how much it costs to operate over time. The abrasives for the PLANEX help reduce that lifetime expense at a fraction of the cost of competing drywall sanders. Additionally, the exceptional dust extraction capabilities prevent clogging resulting in longer abrasive life. Festool offers two types of abrasives for the PLANEX Drywall Sander: Brilliant for general purpose use and Saphir for heavy duty use on stubborn surfaces.

Systainer Drywall Sander Case

Pack and go.

The PLANEX Drywall Sander comes in a Festool Systainer carrying case. The sander can be broken down into its sections in seconds and packed in the Sytainer for transport to and from the jobsite. This protects your investment from damage and provides a compact system for storage. If you're like most pros, space in your vehicle is a premium.

Stay organized with everything you need in one place inside the Systainer. No more showing up to the job only to find out you forgot something back at your shop. Festool offers a complete range of Systainer and Sortainer storages solutions.

A drywall sander for your toughest demands.

When purchasing a drywall sander, also consider the warranty. The PLANEX drywall sander has a three year warranty and is built in Germany with components of the highest quality. During the first year of warranty, Festool even pays for all ground shipping expenses for warranty repairs. We realize that you rely on your equipment to make a living and build power tools that you can rely on.

No detail overlooked.

You'll swear we thought of everything. We know you'll be dragging the dust extraction around the jobsite behind your PLANEX. That's why the hose has a locking mechanism to make sure it stays fully connected. It wouldn't be good to think you were capturing all that dust just to find the hose fell off. The handle has non-slip, rubber surfaces because drywall dust would make plastic or metal slippery to handle. Keep a firm grip on the machine while you operate it. Large dials and switches are right at your fingertips and are sealed to prevent drywall dust from infiltrating them and causing damage.

The CT 36 AutoClean Dust Extractor.

The CT AutoClean is the magic behind your PLANEX that makes it virtually dust-free. Insane amounts of suction suck up nearly every speck of dust leaving your client with a big smile on their face when you're done at the end of the day.

The CT AutoClean has an integrated filter cleaning mechanism that periodically knocks the dust free of the filter. This guarantees maximum air flow and prevents the filter from becoming caked with dust. The filter cleaning frequency is controlled by a dial and can be completely disabled. The CT AutoClean can be used as a regular dust extractor when run without the AutoClean enabled.

Includes an ultra-lightweight, flexible hose for use with the PLANEX Drywall Sander and other tools that accept a 36mm (1-1/2") hose.
