Rotex 125

[tekbench]

Hey everyone.
Just picked up a Rotex RO 125. I'm having a hard time figuring out what pads will fit on my Rotex 125. Is there a clear page that shows this?
I go here:http://www.festoolusa.com/power-tool-accessories/sanders?compatibility=571782
and it's just blank. Shows no accessories for anything. Tried two different browsers. Same result.

Thanks!
Kelly

Classic.
I read here about abrasives:

Added backing pads to the search results to make it easy to see what pad(s) are available for your sander.  [thumbs up]

And the 'Select your abrasive' page has the pads necessary at the bottom. Maybe this link should be put on the main Festool product page. Since the one there doesn't seem to link to anything.
I've found what I need at this point. Hopefully this saves somebody from stepping in the same hole.
Kelly.

You can filter accessories and consumables on our website for any tool. Just use the option on the left hand sidebar to choose your tool to narrow the products shown.

Here's a link to sandpaper that fits the RO 125, for instance:
http://www.festoolproducts.com/accessories/sanders/abrasives.html?tn_festool_compatibility=ROTEX+RO+125

And, then you can further filter by grit, package quantity, abrasive series, etc.

Rubin is good for bare wood, Granat can be used for just about anything. The other papers are more specialty.

Feel free to email if you have questions.

Welcome to FOG. While waiting for your accessories I suggest you watch some YouTube videos on the proper handling of a Ro. They can be bouncy at first. They are amazing sanders I'm sure you will enjoy it.
