As you might have seen on Festool UK that only the ETS 150, Rotex 150 & Rotex 90 are available with 110V.

Only 110V-Ø125 mm sander I know is the Bosch GEX 125-150 AVE. You can use two discs Ø125+150mm.
Available from Axminster.

I know it is expensive, but the Mirka ceros is amazing and works 110 and 220.  It has a converter that plugs into the wall and then the sander plugs into the converter.

They have different strokes, One is 2.5mm, 5 and 8mm.

Yup, the Mirka is a amazing sander, It can do both fine sanding and ruff sanding.
It will be your go to sander.

I don't know if it was a glitch or not.  I had the Mirka Ceros 6" 8mm stroke in Amazon cart for quite some time.  I already have the 5" Ceros.

It is expensive (495.00) so I was just looking and looking.  This morning the price drop down $100.00 to 395.00 . I purchase it right a way, in less than 5 seconds after I pushed the buy button the price increased again to 495.

I guess I am lucky or it was a glitch.  I have now the 5" 5mm stroke and the 6" 8mm stroke.  I will test against the Rotex 125, I know in direct drive will be a great test.

I'm curious to see how the Mirka 6" 8mm stroke sander compares to the RO 125.
The removable Edge protector on the RO is something I wish the Mirka had.

I will get it Wednesday.  I will prepare a test.  I hope I won't get this post lock down like it happen to me before.

Just as disclaimer, I am not a pro woodworker/carpenter.  I am a Database/Applications consultant that has not relation to Mirka except to let them take money from my wallet.

I will make comparison with the best of my abilities and I take suggestions.

I almost bought the Mirka 6" 8 mm stroke sander to compliment my Mirka 5" 5mm but ended up getting the RO 90 and RO 125.
All 3 are great sanders. I'm thinking of ordering the DTS 400 EQ  now.

 

[fidelfs]

My I ask why would you need the DTS400?  You have a delta with the RO90.

 

[avrs22]

Most of my work are on staircases. new ones and older ones that need to be stripped.
For stripping I think the DTS400 would work better in places that the ro 90 with the delta pad wont like risers because the length of the ro 90sander.
