The new RO 90 DX multi-mode sander --- What are your questions?

i wouldnt be mad keen on that insert. 6 round to 2 delta, nowhere for the extra pads. a homemade insert would work a lot better

Each space in the insert can accept delta and round abrasives. So, you could put like types of round and delta in the same space.

Shane's right.  There's eight slots, each slot holds at least 50 sheets, 400 sheets should get you through the day until you can restock in the morning. [tongue]  Also, there is room in the RO90 T-Loc for extra pads and maybe 25-30 sheets each of round and delta abrasives.  I'm very pleased with all of the storage you get with these two T-Locs.

What a fantastic sander - I recieved the RO 90 in the mail today and began sanding on a white oak garden bench that has been outside for about 8 years.  I had started with the RO 150 some time back but there were too many slats, angles, etc.  The RO 90 was great both round and delta.  The delta Granat paper tended to tear too easily, but the Rubin was very robust.  Sanding in corners beat up the delta pad pretty badly but it is replaceable.  The round Granat worked very well as did the Rubin.  I am definitely sold.

Bob M's folks did a great job packaging.  The outer box came totally trashed, but the multiple layers of bubble wrap and paper kept the Sustainers perfect.

You had mentioned in an earlier e-mail that there would be a systainer with an assortment of abrasives for the RO 90..  WHERE IS IT?  WHEN WILL IT BE AVAILABLE?  I HAD SENT YOU AN E-MAIL ON THIS OVER A WEEK AGO AND HAD NOT HEARDE A RESPONSE.

Any input or information would be greatly appreciated by many of us,,,,
thank you

First, my sincere apologies that you didn't receive a response. I am confident that I responded to your email, searching now to see whether I did. Regardless, I'm sorry you didn't receive a reply.

The members of the forum expressed a desire for an abrasives assortment. I did all that I could to make that happen. In the end, we were not able to pull it together in time to make one available for the product launch. It's my understanding that some dealers have taken it upon themselves to assemble an assortment. Personally, I would like to see a starter abrasives assortment made for all of our sanders. It would make it easy for folks to order a good selection with their sander. I've submitted this idea up the ladder but I can't guarantee it will happen.

Shane

Edit: Hmm, I can't find the original email or my response but I remember both. I receive about 4,000 emails per month and send 800 per month, so my memory of the events may be incorrect. Again, very sorry that you didn't get a response.

No worries.  Tom Bellemare has such an assortment ready I think. I am  a few days away - just awaiting my complete shipment of abrasives.

Here's an assortment that I've been selling in the T-Loc.
