I am new to Festool and need purchasing advice. I think I want either the Rotex RO125 or 90. I have finished chairs with rounded bottoms so I have to deal with curved surfaces. They have been finished glossy and I want to sand/rub them to satin or semigloss. Which sander would you recommend (I'm leaning toward the 125)? Which accessories? I think the platin 1000 pads and one of the soft polishing pads. I want to order today but am not sure what I need to have everything I need. Also, I am leaving for a week tomorrow and would like everything here when I get back (no pressure). Also, what comes with the sander.

Welcome to Festool CliftonHB!
I would suggest the RO90 because it has the triangular
attachment to get into the chairs' corners.

And don't forget the magic interface pad, which you can get for most of the Festool sanders. It makes sanding curved surfaces really straightforward.
