Is the Festool RO 90 Rotex Random Orbital Sander better than a simple Makita sander? Can you get by with a Makita? Perhaps yes...or no.

Used that Rotex for over 5 years now. Still going strong. Nothing compares for build quality and versatility. It's a pro grade monster.
Hey, thanks for the comment. It's an awesome piece of kit. 😀
Apples and oranges comparison I'm afraid, the Fessie has geared rotation and a superior removal rate, The makky is fine for lighter sanding. Massive cost difference too.
Thanks for the comparison. I already have a festool ets ec 150/5 and rts 400 but really want to add the ro90 to the arsenal. Probably a very soon purchase....
The Rotex is definitely a 'nice to have' when you need it. Have a great day. 😀
I have the cordless Makita which at least has 3 speed swinging settings 😅. But the dust connection for it is naff. I'll have to commission you to make a suitable 3D printed shop vac fitting 😊
First to leave a comment. Thanks. Actually, I have a spare. It might fit your sander. I'd be curious to know. Contact me at info@colinklupiec.com and I'll send it to you.
@@ColinKlupiec I'll take some measurements and email you
Which dust extractor were you using?
The Festool MIDI. I actually like that extractor more than larger Festool extractors I've used in the past. It's got my favourite feature...ruclips.net/video/emvQ4oOh05M/видео.html
Can’t beat festool , buy cheap pay twice
True that. 😀
feels like the cheap tool is ok for diy but ud wanna upgrade if you're a contractor using that tool daily
I've got 5 doors to finish so I figured it was worth it. For detail work you can't go past the delta head attachment. It really is awesome. Thanks for leaving a comment. Have a great day. 😀
