Tim,

You gotta make that your profile pic...

Done.

Magnificent.

On the (Dutch) website it appears that the number of consumables and accessoires is more limited than say the RO 125. No platin-2 or titan-2 abbrasives for example, only two sanding pads and no mention of polishing add-ons either (although the video did mention polishing). Any word on whether these will be (eventually) be available?

There seems to be more of a selection on the UK site.

Anyone know the name of the track that's playing? Wouldn't mind getting hold of it.

The Dutch website is really bad in showing accessories since they changed to the new design. For some tools almost half of what is offered is missing. I keep an eye on the Dutch, German, English and American Festool sites to get a complete picture, I mean, as complete as I can get.

I started using the old fashioned paper catalogue after the "upgrade" of the site. Rather odd considering I'm a nerd who generally hates hardcopy. Missing accessoires is one thing, but what drove me up the walls was the frequent failure to respond to clicking on links / navigating back.

Sometimes I think that usability is an alien concept for Festool. Like the OF1010 systainer, that puts the most used tool (the spanner) on the bottom of the tray beneath all the other stuff...

Anyway, the UK site lists the same stuff for the RO90 as the Dutch one (and the RO90 is too new to be listed in the 2010 paper catalogue). So the question for our resident Festool employees remains, is this all there is going to be?
