You're kidding, right? Wow, wonder if they had too slow of sales compared to the larger 150mm version.... [blink]Cheese said:I was going to suggest Vlies in 80 or 100 grit, but then I noticed Festool no longer offers Vlies for the RO 90. [sad] [crying]

Wish I were...actually, Festool offered Vlies for all of their sanders at one point. Including the RAS, DX, DTS, LS & RS sanders, now it's only available for the 125/150 models.
RIP...MFS, aluminum cutting blades, spark trap, PCD blades, Vlies...
just found the item:TSO Products said:I hate to recommend something other than a FESTOOL based solution but I need to share my successful experience at the end of many not-so experiences:
3M ScotchBrite started offering a combination ceramic/aluminum oxide abrasive encapsulated in plastic.http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3MIndustrial/Abrasives/Products/~/Scotch-Brite-Radial-Bristle-Brush?N=7581714+3293242167&rt=rud#variantView
I have used this type of abrasive in another version fitting the threads on my Milwaukee 4 1/2 angle grinder.
It flexes and follows contours. It does not load (!) up at all. Leaves the metal smooth and bare shiny and ready for etching / priming and coating with your finish.
if desired I will go find my abrasive and submit a picture. Last time I used it to de-rust a just purchased used and badly abused, cast iron band saw table with rust, paint and glue residue.
