bill walsh Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 has any one used the new festool ro 150 feq polisher yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Orosco Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I am very interested in the Festool but as of yet I've had no first hand expeience with either of those tools you mention. From what I hear about Festool they are a top quality tool and have a very loyal following so I'm sure you couldn't go wrong with it.

Joe V Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I'm also considering getting the Festool, my question is do you (anyone??) prefer to finish with a rotary or a forced rotation orbital polisher like the Festool or Flex? How do your results compare between the two? Currently I have great results finishing with my Metabo and a finishing pad, but would like to have another option, partly because all paints behave a little differently and partly because I think is some cases a true DA machine would be more user friendly. I don't mind spending the extra $$ on the Festool over the Flex based on what I've read about the two, but if rotary machines finish better then I'll probably just keep using the rotary 100% of the time. Thoughts? Anyone happy they have both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe V Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Anyone? Forced rotation orbital vs. rotary? Festool? Bueller? Bueller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalDS Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Festool.... Love it! Great as a final step tool as well as for swirl mark removal. It has become an integral part of our tool arsenal. It won't completely replace a rotary for some jobs though. (i.e. deep scratches). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Another good option is to add a Dynabrade attachment to your rotary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe V Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Do these work with a metabo? Do they add a lot of drag or weight to a rotary? I've read a lot about them but have never seen one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 They work quite well we have them on a small Harbor freight rotary without any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Harris Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Do these work with a metabo? Do they add a lot of drag or weight to a rotary? I've read a lot about them but have never seen one. I think that my Dynabraid wore out my metabo. In just a little over a year the worm gear was shot. I would only use this attachment with a cheep polisher.

ZoranC Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Years ago I have tried Festool RO 150 FEQ and I have felt it is a very bad fit for paint polishing (you can still find some of my posts about it on, I think, Autopia). Cup was ovefilled when it flung backing plate and it went back for refund. I find Flex XC 3401 VRG perfect balance of correction power and final polishing ability for me.
