Haven't bought much Festool for a while. Until today now that changed as I had the need for a major improvement in my paint removal sanding gear. I've gotten by with a Metabo Turbo tec 425 5 inch sander, but it's rather wobbly with a high center of gravity for working on vertical surfaces also I miss the efficiency of the pllug it and systainer storage with the metabo. I have speculated on getting either Rotex 125 or the etc etc 125 for the job og paint removal and finish preperation, but when I checked out the shop they had the Rotex 150 with the handle and being better for larger surfacing jobs I dove in. I just think for agressive paint removal or working with hardwoods the Rotiex i the most capable. The larger version seems to be the most popular for good reason, today I used it on som oak planks and it did a good job relatively easy sanding out uneveness left by planing with 60 gr granat and bringing it to finish (linseed oil for outdoor) ready with 120 gr.
So now I own the RO 150 to pair with the RO 90 for paint removal and wood surfacing.
