Any website comes to mind that do this for FT sand paper ? [tongue]
I need to sand 15 large windows/doors (with glass) (~ 800x2000 metric) and I have not a clue how much I need. Add to that, I have not a clue what grit to start. I would just want to buy 10 of each for the whole range (P80 - P240 or so) and see what works.
For the DTS I probably need P120, P150 and P180 (to start with). Awesome only comes in 100 pieces per boxes, 150+ EUR. I don't mind spending it,
if there is a need for it.
Is there any rule of thumb how long a piece of Granat actually lasts (when doing windows)? I mean: do I need to count with 1 piece (avg) per window or can you do 5?

To see what quantities are available you would
think thats a 30 second lookup:
[list type=decimal]
[*]goto Festool(.nl)
[*]click Search (right top)
[*]type: P120
[*]yeah 931 hits ! very useful, lets narrow it down. Simply adding the machine would do it, right?
[*]type: P120 DTS
[*]wrong! zero results
[*]ok, well at least adding 'granat' works, right?
[*]P120 granat
[*]wrong! zero results
[/list]

This is really
amature hour. A search engine that can not search and was clearly never tested.
Bottom line: "p120 granat dts" should just list all available abrasives for this machine/type/grit
Right, let's download their "order app", add the tool, goto abrasives. Awesome, all paper sorted in random order [eek]. Very handy for an order app and people that like to scroll up and down to figure out what it is you have.
This website is a laugh, premium prices for tools, yet, to get the "fuel" for it, you need to fiddle around until you end up with RSI [mad]
[member=6061]festool[/member] fix your search engine, it's not that hard, really not. I know, your probably "scammed" by some fancy-pantsy it-company with hour rates going through the roof, telling you its impossible or will charge you insane amount of $$$. But it shouldn't be hard and not cost a fortune. Put your CTO to work.
You would expect that an outstanding tool company like FT would have a dito website, guess not.

This is simply ridiculous and utterly frustrating.
