Sanding surfaces is assembly-line work: cabinet sides, fronts, panels, and the intermediate sanding before the second coat of paint. The EVA 150 E is Mafell’s eccentric sander for this purpose—with a 150-mm-diameter pad, continuously variable stroke rate, and available in two versions: a 3-mm stroke for fine sanding and intermediate sanding of painted surfaces, and a 5-mm stroke for removing excess material after gluing.
The key is the mesh: Mirka Abranet is included as standard—Mafell offers the mesh under its own part number—and because the mesh extracts dust across the entire surface rather than through individual holes, the sanding process produces minimal dust and keeps the grit free. The hook-and-loop pad is open-backed: it accepts any standard Ø-150 mesh or perforated disc material available on the market, including Festool Granat—you’re not tied to any specific abrasive, we’ll be honest with you. In practice, the machine is praised for its smooth operation: even after an hour of continuous sanding, there’s no tingling in your hand.
The fact that you’re buying the Mafell machine at RUWI isn’t a given: We’re manufacturers ourselves—tools for woodworking professionals based in Fluorn-Winzeln, 4 kilometers from the Mafell factory in Oberndorf am Neckar. We carry only what we can recommend from our own experience—and we’ll even tell you the brand name of the standard abrasive.
Here's how to use it
-
Fine sanding of surfaces: Fronts and panels with a 3-mm stroke—also suitable for intermediate sanding between coats of paint.
-
Trimming after gluing: the 5-mm stroke for the coarser pass.
-
Low-dust operation: The Abranet mesh provides full-surface extraction—either via a self-contained extraction system with a filter bag or a Ø35 connection to the M vacuum cleaner.
-
Choose any abrasive: The hook-and-loop pad works with Abranet, Garnet, and any other material with a diameter of 150.
Does this fit in your workshop?
An honest look at the product lineup: Mirka and Festool make their random-orbit sanders half as heavy—so if you do a lot of overhead or vertical sanding, they’re the more ergonomic choice. For rough removal in high-volume applications, Mafell lacks a gear-driven random-orbit sander—that’s Rotex’s territory. And Mafell doesn’t offer a cordless sander: For work without access to a power outlet, the Festool ETSC 125 or the Mirka cordless models are the best choice. The EVA justifies its price with its smooth operation, robust construction, and corded design—ideal for a fixed sanding station with a dust extractor nearby. For corners, rebates, and profiles, the UVA 115 E with a delta plate is the tool of choice.
Sanding without a dust collection system is not an option when dealing with wood dust—read our article on wood dust extraction to find out why your vacuum cleaner should be rated for dust class M. The machine advisor will guide you to the right sander by asking you two or three questions.
