Surface Prep: The Do-It-All Sanding System

2 min read

Looking for a “do-it-all” dust-free sanding system? Check out the new Festool RO 90 DX Rotex Sander Starter Kit.

Festool has gone to great lengths to design sanders, accessories and abrasives that work seamlessly as a system, resulting in nearly dust- free operation, low vibration, longer service life and, of course, an immaculate surface.

At the heart of the system, the sander is three tools in one: delta sander, random orbit sander for fine sanding, and a gear-driven, aggressive mode for rapid stock removal or polishing. It’s powerful yet controllable with multiple grip positions to make even the toughest work conditions manageable.

The full versatility of the RO 90 DX Rotex combined with the no-worries dust extraction of the CT MIDI helps you save time and money. When paired with a Festool CT dust extractor it offers unsurpassed dust collection. It’s the ideal combination for window refurbishment, exterior paint prep, and interior fine details.

Festool RO 90 DX Rotex Sander Starter Kit is available through your Sherwin-Williams store.
