Thanks! I prefer this style presentation. Useful information and no one trying to be funny.

[@markhulette6987]

Thanks for the content! Just bought a R150 with CT26 and am VERY pleased with the limited use so far! This thing is a beast! Good info for all the options and techniques!

[@larrycurran7005]

Great Timing. Just purchased an RO90 Rotex to add to my Festool collection. Nice to see all the accessories avaliable for it. That makes it even more useful to me. Keep up the good work on the video's.

RO90 sure is a keeper, a very flexible machine.

Thank you for explaining “jet stream.” I had heard of the term in relation to sanding, but not the operation and why it’s important.

[@areuaware6842]

I've had a 150 for many years and I believe it is the finest sander ever made!

[@jasonmako343]

Great, concise presentation. One thing missed is that when polishing there's obviously no dust collection and that lower part can be removed. When putting on the optional front paddle handle would be a logical time to present that function. Thank you.

Using a 125 on wood siding is a must!

[@rollovaughan]

Do the gears need grease or oil?

[@rossl2544]

pad saver for use with mesh discs not an interface pad. interface pad is for curved surfaces. These sanders really need a big update imo to make them any good. I have an RO 150 which i only use as a polisher because the material removal is so slow compared to an outright rotary sander. More weight and power would be a big improvement

[@truthserum9157]

I’m thinking, if the sanders could turn to the right as well as the left you could get 2 times the use out of a sanding disks.

I want to know how to control this thing in random orbit mode. This thing is very smooth in routed mode but random orbit is crazy.

[@RetrotechCNC]

In my experience, these are a two-handed tool when in Rotax mode. Hold on tight and get the work done fast!
