Which pad is this?

[Django]

Hi,
I recently bought me a second hand sander, the RQ 150 FEQ . I'm trying to find out what pad is on the machine. Unfortunately I cannot find any information on the web.
On the pad it says "Festool 087083 >PA6-GF50/PUR < W-HT"
I also attached some pictures.
Hopefully someone can help me on this?

Thanks in advance,
Herman

Hello Herman, it is the standard "Soft" pad that comes with the sander when you buy it. Other options are the hard pad and the super soft pad.

You won't find any info over your particular pad because it has been replaced by newer pads with the same hardness/softness, but more holes to improve dust collection and heat transfer.

The current equivalent of your pad is ST-STF D150/MJ2-FX-W-HT  No. 202461

Your pad is quite old by now. I have the same one for my RO150, and it is from 2008. I have hardly used mine the last 5 years because I prefer the hard pad. One thing to look out for with these old soft pads is that the foam can deteriorate and sometimes just breaks in two when you use the sander. Enjoy your new sander, it's great.
