hello all, it's my first post here!
i would like some advice on wich sander(s) to look for, my current festool collection is limited to the CT22 and Kapex120 both bought used. all my other tools are Bosch, bought new during the last year when i started woodworking(festool was out of my budget!)
im currently sanding with a Bosch Gex 125 ROS sander, and it's a pretty fine tool. i occasionally work in school with the Festool ETS 150 and i can't say the difference is verry noticable.
so i was thinking maybe the rotex would be a possible upgrade, but then wich one? and are they tools that can be used extensively and comfortably like a regular ROS?
chances are that later i would also buy a standard festool ROS, and i would not want to be left with x types of different disk sizes.
i use my sander mostly for furniture, not large surfaces. so a 125mm pad is more than big enough, won't a 150mm pad be oversized in this case?
so if i would take the rotex 125, and later the ETS 125 (for the sake of same pad sizes) would i be armed to comfortably handle any task? or is there a too lrge gap between both, missing an intermediate ROS?
hope this wasn't too complex!
thank you.
