Picked up this great little sander from Amazon USA, but nobody in the US seems to sell the sandpaper. The hole pattern looks to be the same as the Festool paper. Can anybody here confirm whether Festool paper fits the Bosch rectangle and triangle pads?

How do you like the sander? How smooth is it?

I tried them all except Flex and Festool. So far the only one that isn't a complete POS is a 5" Makita. But it is still susceptible to jerking around for no reason at all. It's just an okay sander. I'm too spoiled by Festool sanders.  8)
 
The pattern is not the same, the current Festool 80x133 paper has six more holes and all holes are smaller. The position of 8 of them seems to align.
 
The availability of Festool sandpaper is a huge and rarely mentioned value-add. I've had the same problem finding pads and paper for my Bosch GET65-6N. Sitting here on a Saturday morning, I would have at least six stores I could drive to to get paper for an RO150. The only place I know of for Bosch paper would have a very limited selection if they had any at all.

Impossible to say since I can’t find sandpaper for it.

I ended up returning the sander since I can only purchase the sandpaper directly from Europe. What a shame. Seems like a really great sander.

I have just purchased this sander recently from Lowes to try it out. I have an RTS400 and all the paper fits perfectly on the Bosch. Vacuum holes line up. Same with the Delta pad. I was going to get the RTSC, since I already have batteries and adapter from my ETSC and DTSC, but now I’m thinking of selling the DTSC (rarely used) and just keep the Bosch as a cordless multi-purpose sander.

I haven’t used it yet, but seems well balanced and center of gravity is definitely lower than the Festool. I’m not a fan of the dust port location though [emoji53]
