LEBANON, Ind. — Festool, a manufacturer of innovative, precision-engineered, and durable power tool solutions, has announced its first-ever soft foam abrasive, developed for surface preparation on complex shapes. Based on the brand’s proven premium Granat abrasives, Granat PROfile brings Festool’s precision and durability to detailed work—making it the go-to solution for finishers, woodworkers, and painters who demand control, flexibility, and exceptional surface quality.   
 
“Festool has long championed premium abrasives that match the performance of our line of sanders,” said Rick Bush,senior product marketing manager at Festool. “After all, the sandpaper is what touches the surface, so it must be right. And now we have a solution engineered to tackle intricate detail-based sanding such as moldings, carvings, crevices, and other odd shapes.”   
 
The new abrasives are perfect for painters and woodworkers tackling detailed prep work on moldings, trim, raised panels, contoured edges, and turn elements. Optimized for use with sanding power tools, this abrasive excels where traditional flat abrasives can’t:   
 
•    Conforms to Complex Surfaces. The 1/2" (13 mm) layer of soft foam backing molds to contours, edges, and profiles, making it ideal for moldings, spindles, raised panels, and decorative details. The system delivers aggressive sanding power while conforming effortlessly to contours, curves, and profiles  
•    Premium Performance. Festool GRANAT abrasives are known for delivering fast, consistent results and the PROfile lives up to the same high standard results across a wide range of materials and coatings.   
•    Built for Today’s Finishes. From tough clear coats to delicate surfaces, it delivers smooth, professional results on hard-to finish areas like wood, paint, plastics, acrylics, and fillers.  
•    Sized Right for Every Tool, Every Application.  Available in 5 sizes—5”, 6”, 3”x5” rectangle-shape, 4”x6” delta-shape and 3”x4”—the product can get the job done across a wide range of materials and coatings.   
 
Starting November 13, 2025, all sizes of the Granat PROfile will be available, ranging from $20.00 to $32.00. There are three grit levels—Medium, Fine and Superfine—available in the five different pad shapes. There will also be mixed packs available for each size with varying grit levels.
