“The shipping was super fast. Unfortunately I had to pay 30€ for customs, which I could've figured out, but it would've been better to notify customers, that customs would have to be paid, if ordered outside of GB.”
It seems to be pot luck whether you pay import duties or not but thank you for the feedback, I will add a note to the checkout page so that customer abroad are more aware.
“This attachment makes sanding 90º not only quicker but far more accurate. It works as described and has become a shop favorite. We primarily use it for sanding the edges of cabinet doors.
I had a little issue with the first one but Dan was quick to respond and remedy the problem. These folks stand behind their products which is awesome.”
“Iluka's 90 degree Festool sanding attachment has been a huge help with production work. Very accurate and easy to attach & remove! When the quick release clasp finally failed (after much use), Dan was very prompt in offering a free replacement. Cannot fault that customer service, was much appreciated.”
“Great tool ! It helps a lot and it fits very well on my Festool sander. And the customer service is awesome !!! Great communication. I recommend it for sure !!!”
“We purchased a Metabo/Mirka 150mm Edge Sanding adaptor from these guys in October, which was brilliant. Eventually our adaptor failed which seemed to be a design fault or our fault we didn't know and we thought it was a lost cause. We sent a message to Dan at Iluka notifying him as to the failure and they replaced the item immediately and free of charge. Not only that but they've improved significantly on the design solving the previous issue. I don't foresee any problems with the new adaptor.”
“I got the 90 degree sanding attachment for my ETS EC 125 that I run with a 150mm pad. The product works great. Perfect 90 degree edges. Easy to install and take off, easy to use.”
“Superb product well happy and far exceeded my expectations. Some insta videos coming soon on some awesome builds so I’ll make sure to tag you in 👊
Love it. Thank you”
“really bad, I've been waiting for the product for almost 1 month and there is no news about where it is.
at ilukatools they only know how to make excuses.
In other times they would have done a good job but I can say that today I do not recommend them!”
Hi Manuel,
I have emailed you with the tracking number twice and here it is again, https://www.correos.es/es/es/herramientas/localizador/envios/detalle?tracking-number=LO322080088GB
I can see that it arrived in Spain on the 8th Decemeber. I have no control over the shipping company - please accept my apology dury this busy time, I'm sure it will arrive soon. If for some reason it is returned then I will choose a different shipping company or give you a full refund.
Thanks for your understanding and Merry Christmas,
Dan

“Had to return it because the quality of the finish was not to standard for a part that cost £70+
I understand it is 3d printed and that the printing process leaves a textured finish as the filament is layered but the item I received had large amounts of flashing that should be trimmed off in the finishing process. As a result, I did not find the part good value for money and returned for a refund. I cannot comment on the functionality as I did not use the part. I had to pay for return shipping.”
“I came across this attachment whilst searching for a solution for sanding edges using my Festool ETS EC 150 orbital sander (Festool only provide a dedicated edge sanding attachment for the ETS EC 125 orbital).
Whilst I'm happy that I was able to find a solution, and opted to purchase the 90° option for a total delivered price of £91.74, the product that arrived was disappointing.
I was aware before purchase that the product I was buying had been made on a 3-D printer, but no effort has been made to 'finesse' the finished product, literally taken off the printer and placed in a box for delivery. The edges are unfinished and corse, and the whole item has a feel of cheapness about it. If it had cost £30, I wouldn't complain, but at nearly £100, I expect more.
The official Festool attachment for the ETS EC 125 sander has a better finish, complete with adjustability and is available currently for £128 delivered. A more realistic spec for the price, and all I can compare to in this niche market.
Setting aside the finish of the product, the actual operation is unrefined, assembling the attachment to the sander can be fiddly and problematic due to the diameter of the bracket and shortness of the attached clasp. Once attached though, it seems to remain in place fairly well, although there is a small amount of flex between the two, so care still needs to be taken, although the end result is far superior to edges sanded without.
To summarise, one of the few options for turning your Festool ETS EC 150 into a reasonably competent edge sander. In my opinion though, overpriced for what you get in comparison to other comparable products. To remain at this price, an improved finish, assembly capability and greater adjustability options are required.
Or simply lower the price to £30 to reflect the lack of.
I had ordered my attachment as a requirement for a project I was undertaking at the time, so had no option other than to use it, which is why the attachment was not returned.
In all other aspects of my interactions with ILUKA tools, I was satisfied, website, ordering, communication and delivery all worked well.”
HI Daniel,
We are sorry you feel this way about the product. If you would like to return the edge sander then we can refund you, even if it has been used.
Many thanks,
Dan
“I discovered that Festool do an edge sanding attachment for their small cordless machine but are not available for the larger mains powered sanders. I was pleased to find your range of attachments and bought one for my Rotex. It does the job really well and saves time with improved accuracy. Very clever use of technology to provide a niche product at a reasonable price”
