I haven't watched enough of these...but have enjoyed what I have seen. I need to look up the different types of sanders as well as accessories and the cyclone connection.

Yeah, audio only came out the right side, except when someone else talked, then they came out the other side. I was trying to sand some end-grain hardmaple+purpleheart the other day. Started out with my 150/3 sander with 80-grit, and the hardmaple endgrain was just laughing at me. You could hear it laughing. It sounded just like the evil cackling of Old Man Willow. So i switched down to Rotex (non-rotex mode) and 60-grit, and at least it stopped laughing out loud. More of a quiet chuckle now. But it still took a long time. I guess i should've dropped down to 40 grit? I keep some 40-grit around, because well sometimes you want to actually get something done. But i was scared about what those huge rocks in the 40-grit might do. Hmm, nice tip about the contour sanding. I have some of the soft interface pads -- maybe i should actually try using them?

FWIW - since you mentioned audio changes, the audio is outputting mostly to the Right speaker and hardly any to the Left. @24:35 I heard somebody else speak into the Left speaker.

Are you sure? In my experience the Granat last much longer than the Cubitron.

@@Painfulwhale360 well if you are looking for sandpaper that doesn't produce it's intended purpose in any meaningful measure of time then by all means "granat" away. And I have a bunch of grant wasting away here that I would be happy to sell to you .

Sanding and finishing is a make or break last step that’s why I went over too festool sanders and dust collection, I have 5 sanders, I’ve got all kinds of brands of tools, but when it comes to sanding I only use festool.

Thanks for the fun classes! Love your channel! Can you be a little more specific about using Polishing fleece Vlies STF D150 white. I use them on my Rotex RO 150 to apply Odie’s oil finish. For some reason they do not last for too long - layers start to separate. Would appreciate suggestion on mode and speed. Thanks.

Love the 'tude dude! As I recall you checked the FastFix sanding pad to make sure there was no build up. How would you clean the pad if there was build up and "vac your pad" doesn't work? Like from hard burnishing. Anyone please feel free to answer as best you can.

With the surfix system going away will the Vlies be going away as well? And the foam Pads?

When sanding rough wood , when do you change from rotex mode to orbital , starting at 40 grit and going to 120
@markhoerner23542 жыл бұрын
I switch at 80. Since its not a removal as much as a finish grit at that point. Sometimes 100 on something harder. Seems to do ok.

You mentioned using Granat on wood but your web site says Rubin. I just about to get a ROTEX RO 150 FEQ-Plus 240V and want to get a small range of discs. It will be mainly used for bare wood prior to putting on a finish. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
@whoDatBeDare3 жыл бұрын
my tool supplier sells them by the disc. 1 or 100 they are the same price. phone around you might find one close.

Yes it is normal. Make sure you use dust extraction to keep it cool. We all forget sometimes. inlcuding plugging it into the festool extractor instead of a normal outlet.

I love all festool products but this sander has been nothing but a headache. I was sanding a solid wood panel on rotary mode and the sander stopped under gentle pressure. Once i restarted it the switch wont stay on rotary mode and it rattles a horrible noise.
