Overview
The Festool 202460 Multi Jetstream2 6" (150 mm) Hard Pad for ETS/ETSC 150 Sanders, 1-Pack is a 6 inch replacement sanding pad for select Festool random orbit sanders. This is a sanding pad designed for flat surface sanding and edge-focused finish work. Model Number: 202460. If your sanding setup needs a firmer pad that supports the abrasive better across broad, flat material, this is the one you want.
The big story here is dust control. Festool's patented MULTI-JETSTREAM 2 design is built around the interaction between intake air and exhaust air, with dust extraction carried right up to the edge of the pad. In real use, that matters because cleaner abrasive stays effective longer, surface quality stays more consistent, and you spend less time fighting loaded discs or dust packed into the work area.
This is the hard version, which makes it a better fit for plain surfaces and narrow edges where a softer pad can round things over or feel less planted. When you are sanding tabletops, panels, doors, filler work, or other flat stock, the firmer backing helps keep the disc working evenly instead of flexing more than the job calls for.
Festool also built this pad for durability. The published product details call out high temperature durability and high edge solidity, and the pad material is heat-resistant MPE foam. That combination makes sense for users who run their sanders hard and want a backing pad that holds its shape and support during longer sanding sessions.
Fitment is straightforward but important. This pad uses an M8 connecting thread and is specified for Festool ETS 150, ETSC 2 150, ETS EC 150, LEX 150, and WTS 150/7 models. If you are already on that Festool 6" (150 mm) platform, this is a direct way to tune your sander for flatter, more controlled sanding without changing tools.
This accessory makes the most sense for woodworkers, finish carpenters, cabinet installers, refinishers, and serious DIY users who care about surface prep and dust collection. If you mainly sand contoured parts or need more forgiveness on curved work, a softer pad may be the better call. But if your goal is cleaner extraction and better support on flat stock, this hard Festool pad is the practical choice.
Festool 202460 Multi Jetstream2 6" (150 mm) Hard Pad for ETS/ETSC 150 Sanders, 1-Pack Keeps Dust Moving
The hole pattern and airflow design are what separate this pad from a basic replacement backing pad. It is built to work with Festool dust extraction so the abrasive can keep cutting instead of clogging early.
- MULTI-JETSTREAM 2 design supports maximum dust extraction right up to the edge
- Made for high material removal with better surface quality in the same pass
Better Support on Flat Work
A hard pad gives the abrasive a steadier base. That helps when you are trying to keep a surface flat, avoid rounding edges too much, and maintain even contact across the workpiece.
- Hard version is ideal for sanding flat surfaces
- Also suited for plain surfaces and narrow edges
Built to Hold Up Under Heat
Backing pads take heat and abuse, especially during aggressive sanding. Festool calls out high temperature durability and strong edge stability here, which is what you want when the tool is in regular rotation.
- Heat-resistant foam construction
- High edge solidity helps the pad stay supportive during demanding work

Pro Tip
Use this hard pad when you need to keep wide panels and edges flatter, not when you need the pad to conform. Also, Festool notes that pad foam becomes brittle with age, so give the foam a quick wear check before you put it back into regular rotation.
Tool Nut's Take
A smart upgrade if flat sanding is your priority
The Festool 202460 Multi Jetstream2 6" (150 mm) Hard Pad for ETS/ETSC 150 Sanders, 1-Pack is the kind of accessory that makes sense the second you care about flatter results, cleaner extraction, and keeping your abrasive working longer.
- Who it's for: Users running compatible Festool 6" (150 mm) sanders for panel work, edge work, finish prep, and other flat sanding jobs.
- Why it stands out: The hard pad profile and MULTI-JETSTREAM 2 airflow design work together, so you are getting support and dust control, not just a replacement part.
