Another Festool RO90 question

[Robert G. Parker]

I just acquired a RO90 and was wondering if Festool makes(or if it's needed) a Protection NET
for the Rotex series?

[Bryan Lisowski]

What is a Protection NET? I have used all of my Festool sanders including the RO90 right out the systainer for years with no issue.

[Van Huskey]

Are you talking about the edge protector for the circular pad? If so it should have come with one. The part number is 497936. They also make a 3 piece "window protector set" with different offsets. https://www.bobmarinosbesttools.com/product.asp?pn=497936

If you are talking about Granat NET abrasives I don't think they make them in the round or Delta for the RO90.

[Robert G. Parker]

Yep, I'm asking about the Granat NET pad protectors. I have one for my RTS400 as recommended by FT to protect the
hook and loop pad from heat generated by the sanding action. I would assume that the RO90 generates a lot more
heat than a RTS400, especially in rotex mode, so it would seem like a pad protector would be offered. Then again
maybe they just want to sell more pads. Oh well, I did drink the green coolaid.

Van is correct , Festool doesn’t make net abrasives for the ro90.

Robert is correct that the ro90 generates more heat than the rts400, but the point is kinda moot given above.
