The RO 90 DX is the newest addition to Festool's line of Rotex sanders. If you're
already familiar with the advantages of Rotex
sanders, you may just be curious what's so special about the new model.
The only professional sander that sands open spaces as easily as it conquers corners.
How do you move seamlessly between rough sanding and final sanding without switching
sanders? It is easy when you own a Rotex multi-mode sander.
The design of this multipurpose sander is nothing short of an engineering marvel.

Switch to the fine setting for final finishing. Equip your Rotex with polishing
pads, sponges, felts or sheepskin and get astonishing finishes that gleam with brilliance.
With the new RO 90 DX, add the ability to swap the round pad for a delta-shaped
pad to reach deep into corners and crevices. Transform rough surfaces with startling
power, stripping stubborn paints and other coatings, and making you the master of
all materials. The aggressive mode delivers material removal like that of a grinder
and makes your belt sander look like a toy. Shaving off hours of sanding, you quickly
and easily achieve astonishing results.
When sanding on or near edges, use the optional hard pad to preserve a crisp edge
on the material. It is also effective for coarse sanding when shaping or producing
contours is the intended effect.
The one sander that conquers corners as easily as it
sands open spaces.

Plug-It cord attaches and detaches from the tool with a quick twist of the wrist.
What's the big deal about a detachable power cord you ask? Well, instead of having
a web of power cords all over the place, you can share a single cord between multiple
tools.
Edge Protector
The edge protector snaps onto the front of the sander quickly and easily, no tools
required. It's designed to prevent incidental contact with adjoining surfaces. Have
you ever dinged a piece of material trying to get into a corner? With the edge protector,
you can get right against an adjoining surface with confidence.
Sealed Metal Gear Housing
This design blocks foreign particles from entering the gear housing. Materials like
solid surface dust would normally compromise the integrity of other sanders, but
not the Rotex. Also, the gears are made from metal rather than plastic which is
commonly used in other sanders. Learn more about
Festool durability.
