Cutting with the RO series

[pdxrealtor]

Could a Rotex be used to cut a 2k ureathane gloss surface the same as hand sanding?

I'm fairly new to cutting and buffing. I only do small surfaces and have always just used 3m 1500 - 2000 wet by hand.

I don't know if one could even use a tool without removing too much material, but if it's possible I'd be real interested in learning how to use it.

With the sheepskin pad and buffing compound; I dont see why not.

You can definitely use it to buff it back up, but I think I would stick to cutting by hand.
I have used both the RO90 and RO125 for buffing clearcoat and for polishing plastics. They work great with regular compounds/polishes for clear finishes or with the Novis system for plastics.
I have never tried the actual Festool stuff as no one stocks it around here, but I have experience with the other products from my bodyshop days.
