Share this story


The LM-OF 1400 light module enhances routing precision by delivering shadow-free illumination directly at the cut.




As part of its summer product lineup, Festool is announcing new tools and systems accessories that deliver greater efficiency, support cleaner work and deliver more precise results for woodworkers, painters, and remodelers.
Designed to integrate seamlessly into the Festool system, these updates support optimized workflows across surface preparation, routing, air filtration, and material cutting. 

The PLANEX easy LHS-E drywall sander is designed for fast set-up and effortless operation. Its single-piece, plug in and go design eliminates assembly, while a lightweight build and flexible sanding head reduces fatigue during extended use. A direct-drive EC-TEC motor delivers reliable performance, and integrated dust extraction helps maintain a cleaner workspace. The new version offers the same proven performance in a streamlined package.  

The LM-OF 1400 light module enhances routing precision by delivering shadow-free illumination directly at the cut. Compatible with all Festool OF 1400 routers, the light module installs without tools and features two brightness levels for consistent visibility in changing jobsite conditions. An integrated rechargeable battery provides up to six hours of runtime for uninterrupted work. Starting June 2026, the light module will be included with the OF 1400 EQ‑F‑Plus Router and available separately.

The SYS-AIR Carbon Filter is a dedicated accessory for the Festool SYS-AIR air filter. It helps improve air quality by capturing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and eliminating strong odours from finishes, solvents, and other jobsite fumes. It uses activated charcoal to trap harmful gases while supporting a cleaner, more comfortable environment.
For cutting hard and abrasive materials, the Festool diamond saw blades deliver extreme durability and clean, controlled cuts. Available in DIA 168x1, 8x20 F/FA28 and DIA 168.1,8x20 F/FA28, the blades feature polycrystalline diamond teeth for long service live and consistent cut quality.
Products will be available for shipping starting June 17.
These accessories and updates reinforce Festool’s system-based approach by helping professionals work cleaner, faster, and more efficiently across multiple trades through improved visibility, air quality, surface finishing, and material performance.
