Festool Sander Selection

[Scott_W]

I was just wondering if anyone could give me a little more insight into selecting my next sander? Out of all the tools I have purchased in the last several weeks, I really haven't used anything yet. But I do want to purchase one more sander.

Prior to Festool, all I used was a belt sander and a RO sander (makita). Mostly for general use, and woodworking. Now I did purchase another cheap RO sander (like $80). I bought it as a "beater" sander. Or should I bring it back and just use the festool stuff? I'm just worried about wrecking it.

That being said, I am looking for another smaller sander and I am not sure what to get next. The one I purchased a few weeks back was the RO150. I was thinking of grabbing the RO90 as well. Will this cover me? Or is there a "gap" in abilities here?

thanks...scott

If you already have the RO150 I'd advice the DTS400 as your next sander. It's a nice allround sander that I guarantee you'll use a lot.

Well at this point there isn't any rush since you've missed getting in before the price increase.  Wait and let your needs tell you want to get. You never know, it might not be a Festool at all. [eek]
