Festool Backing Plates for all Rotex Forced Rotation Polishers / Sanders
There are two types of backing plates for the Rotex;
1) Older Festool Rotex - RO150 E models had a M8 fixing screw through the center of the backing plate. This Fushion-Tec backing plate has truer running performance for smoother surfaces, less vibration, and longer life. Fusion-Tec pads are fully compatible with all current Festool 150 mm abrasives including Jetstream, Muliti-Jetstream and Multi-Jetstream 2 hole patterns. This is a soft pad with regular density for most general purpose finish sanding applications.
2) Newer Generation Fetool Rotex RO125 & RO150 FEQ Plus machines have a Fastfix mounting for quick backing plate changes. High Temperature Backing Pads for universal use on flat and contoured surfaces with high temperature resistant hook and loop fastener. The Pad has a hardness grade of W-HT. All Festool pads are designed with dust extraction as a primary consideration, so you'll work cleaner, produce a better finish and significantly extend the life of your abrasives and pads. Festool pads feature the StickFix hook and loop design for quick and efficient abrasive changes, and enable re use of partially used abrasives. A highly resilient, heat resistant MPE foam is utilized in all our pads for consistent finishing results, uniform wearing, and extended pad life. Sanding pads will eventually fatigue and require replacement, therefore it is advisable to keep a fresh pad at hand to avoid a break in work.
