Would you recommend the 150 or 220 grit pads for this or do you need both?

220 grit is more than enough to get the job done without running the paper on the sheetrock. Hope this helps.... Dick

Holy,I am not an experienced professional sheetrock person so in my case I needed the 150 to get it down a bit before I actually used the 220 to get it perfectly smooth however I have seen pros get there finish so smooth, they barely have to sand at all so they would hit it with the 220 just a bit.

I use the 220 if the wall is going to be painted and the 150 if we are wallpapering. Both do a great job and really speed up production.

I recommend the 100 grit and 150 grit as the paper wears easy, I use 100 grit to sand edges of seams and when it wears down run the center of the seams that you have drywall finished. you want to let the machine do all the work with little pressure, keep the head moving as to not get swirles in the seems, 150 is ok but after a room with cielings and walls you are pretty much just buffing, you can tell by the slight shine on the seems, time to change paper.

this takes 8 hole sanding disk and if you are using it for woodworking you can get great sandpaper from here http://www.industrialabrasives.com/blocks-and-pads-psa-hook-adaptors-c-80_250.html

The Rotex 150 uses 6" diameter sand paper. Typically 125 models use 5" paper so I don't believe the 125 paper would work. Can you use other sandpaper w/Festool sanders - yes, BUT, the dust extraction won't work quite as efficiently unless you take some time and somewhat painstakingly go through and mimic the hole pattern to resample the Festool sanding pads. I love the Festool sandpaper even though more expensive - the extraction works great, it's quick and easy to use and they last. You can double check the sandpaper fit at Festool.com

The sharpening disks for the 130 are different. For the 130: 100% diamond stage in stage 1; super hardened miniature steel in stage 2; and flexible stropping disks in stage 3.The disks are different on the 120. The grit is diamond for stages 1 and 2, and a "patented" material for disk 3. It's great for thin kitchen knives. I have the 120.

You can use a regular (3 1/2 -4 inchgrinders for polishing,however I suggest a variable speed, polishing concrete I would start with 80 grit and progressively work up to 800. At the very least use a Makita or Bosch angle grinder the cheaper ones are not double insulated(bad for wet use) VERY noisy and they don't run smoothly.....if you want to spend the money the best grinder to use for polishing is a matabo variable speed,also flex makes a good hi end grinder.....use a sponge to wet surface keep it wet and have at it.

Hi, you PC includes only one foam pad which IMHO is useless. You can buy some pads from here, I recommend the Hex Logic Foam Pads, there are some very good packages from Chemical Guys. You will also need a backing plate to attach those pads to your polisher, luckily you can find it on Amazon too.

I got the 39045 kit and it has an extreme amount of protectant lol. I had enough that after i used the kit i wanted it smoother and i went and got a big 3000 grit pad from autozone for like 5-6bucks and did 2 really good layerings of the protectant. I definately suggest getting another 3000 grit or 5000 grit pad with the kit and use the extra pad after the kit.

I'm not sure, but it would NOT be the tan cleaning and polishing pads. I use them all the time for polishing and they do an excellent job for that. Plus, I think you would probably want something larger. Talk to someone in your community who rents sanding equipment. He can advise you on the kind of sanding pads you'd need to buy based on the condition of your floors.

I want to say 180 or 220,been a while,,,works great when you get used to it,,any hardware store or Home depot will have the grit you need

Yes & I would get the 40 to 50 grit pads for sanding. These will help to remove weathered areas faster & you do not need to have a smooth surface for a fence project. Staining will take better if surface is not extremely smooth!

Anything lower than 800 will probably take off a lot of material if you are prioritizing part tolerance. I used these to smooth out and polish handheld cast bronze pieces and they worked excellently. To get a very smooth and shiny finish, you'll need to go up to 1500-3000 grit and possibly use a polishing compound or jeweler's rouge to get a mirror finish.

I actually use right now, a brand out of harbor freight. 6", cheaper with a price of 5.00 dollars a pad. I use all three, compound, polish and wax pads. They work just fine. I'm not a professional but I love my vehicles to shine and look good. They do the job.

If you can regulate the RPMS bwtween 1600 to 2200. DA's are pretty strong, I think it is better to use a good Makita or Dewalt liek they were meant to be.. but you will need to get the 3m adapter. Those pads are good.. buy em/... no need for 3M pricing.

Yes. In fact, if you came to me to ask which tool to use to sand down clear coat to 800-grit level smoothness, I would say a random orbital sander(5-6" is most common for the curves of a car or boat, 10-12" is faster for 50+ft boat or large trailer) is beat. The weight and size of this particular model makes it easy to sand at shoulder height or above your head or for long hours. I had this model for years and swear by it. If this is a one time project or smaller than a table, save money by just buying a 5-6" random orbital palm sander. I am heavily disappointed in the crap quality of the buffer pad. The sponge is glued on and comes off as soon as its hot. The nature of sponge allows it to just peel away. So don't get excited about the 2-in-1 option. For best results when using sander, use 220 grit to get through clear coat, 180 is pushing it and 120 may take off more than you want but is my favorite if you can do it right. 120 (as long as you don't cut through at an angle by accident) will take off the most bang for your buck. A 2'x2' area can be done in like 45-60 seconds. Use the upper right quadrant (12-3pm on a clock) to take off layers in a methodical up down or left right slightly overlapping motion. As you leave an area, Go back over Lightly with pressure more evenly distributed on pad. Then go over with 220 same way. Then probably 400. Past that you are getting into wet dry paper and I have never used this machine with wet dry. It's a great way to get to 800. Make sure you have a pad, a sponge, a cloth or something to keep your fingertips from leaving an inconsistent finish. Or just make your hand into a pad like surface. The short answer? Yes.

I spray the resistance pads with WD-40. The pads also last longer that way. My 2 cents.
