Hi Guys,
I am interested in purchasing an assortment of abrasives for my et150/3 and ro90. I already have the paper systainers.
I am looking for Granat mainly. What dealers do an assortment?
Thanks,
Frank

I know Tom Bellemere of Tool-Home.com has a bunch of Granat assortments; I ordered one with special instructions to change the grit mix and there was no problem (at least on my end!)

I also purchased assortments from Tom Bellemere of Tool-Home.com a few times with real quick delivery. Tom seems willing to make up an assortment to suit your needs.

I met with Tom yesterday. He doesn't have much hair to pull out. Great dealer! Met me on the road abou 40 miles out of Austin to deliver my new 1010 plus the drilling system and rail. Service above and beyond. |

We do all the time up here in Canada and try to work with the customer on what abrasives are best for their needs. A guy stripping floors and paint has very different needs compared to the guy building furniure. Best to call us so we can put together the proper paper for the job(s) One little thing..... ya gotta live in Canada to order one from us  Dan Clermont |

Tom does go out of his way to supply.
Festool should praise him if they don't already for filling these types of orders.
Festool got a lot of my money for paper because Tom was able to re-package and I just went festool sandpaper crazy from there...
They also got a happy customer, because I have the sandpaper I need with the amount of money I had...

Go with Tom @ Tool-home.com as all others have recommended. He does a great job with that stuff. And, again like others have said, is a very good man.

I have purchased abrasive assortments from Tom, and I agree. I know Festool has a prix fixe policy for many of its items, however in cases like this where dealers are putting together special packages like these they should give the dealers as much flexibility as possible. They really are doing both Festool and Festool users a great service, and are creating a lot of good will. |
