The grade of the sandpaper you use will be influenced by the amount of paint you are looking to remove and the type of surface underneath it. The grade of the sandpaper you use will be influenced by the amount of paint you are looking to remove and the type of surface underneath it. The grade of the sandpaper depends on how much paint you want to remove and the surface underneath, usually a higher grit. Wood sandpaper again depends on how much material you need to remove, the lower the grit, the more material you will remove, then move to higher grits to gain a smooth finish.

Sandpaper is basically aluminum oxide particles glued on a substrate. When removing paint, the areas between the sand particles can clog quickly rendering the paper unusable. Certain manufacturers sell paper for "paint" sanding that is more resistant to clogging and theoretically should last longer. If your goal is to just sand bare wood, start with a course grit i.e.. 80 and then use progressively higher numbers until you get the desired smoothness.

i'm not sure there is a difference but i will tell you one the white sand paper is for painted areas and the red for wood. i did used them both to sand down paint and wood on stairs. i went over a little onto the wood while sanding the painted areas and it did remove some wood and change the color where the wood was sanded.

I never really thought about it. I guess the material being sanded could be one criteria, if you tried to sand plastics too fast for instance they could melt. I really don't see a significant difference to tell the truth but I'm an amateur when it comes to wood working. We all may have been wasting our money. Very good question!!

When I was shopping I remember one sander came only with the sander while the one I bought came with the polishing attachments and case. Note: I think they both cost the same too.

They are the same quality but different format (DVD-R vs DVD+R). DVD+R are usually faster when being written on. I prefer to use +R in any of my disc purchases, but there is no huge difference. I have a higher burn success rate with +R discs as opposed to -R which for me personally fail more often.

The 1/4" is the shaft of the part that holds the sanding disk. (Sorry I don't know the name) it's basically like a drill chuck that takes a 1/4" shaft. The sanding disks are the kind that screw on. They are not stick on or the Velcro type.

Sandblast and powder coat the deal. Don't mess around with anything else or you will be wasting your time.

Wayne,I haven't been able to find this either, but I found this product on ebay and there was a (low-resolution) image of the discs, which might give you the answer you're looking for. Seems like a natural thing to include in the product information!Greg

If you buy sanding disks that are not 'Festool' the holes will not line up.

Sanding disks come in different grits, even 60 and 40 and they take of a lot of material quickly. I have used 150 grit...not sure if you can buy 240???...wear some gloves or attach the guard (if possible because these grinding/sanding wheels are aggressive and will take a slice from your hand if you do not respect it. Also try to use a rubber washer, it flexes while supporting the cardboard sanding/grinding disc. PS there is not such thing as a stupid question!!!!

I would say the variable speed sander is better adapted to type of surface, hardness of wood, etc., where you might use it, because the speed can be adjusted.

If you are sanding some thin veneer, then the variable speed allows a slow start for light sanding without going thru the veneer. Otherwise, there is no difference in my opinion.

There are several sizes of discs. There are 2 large discs which have 2 different thicknesses of adhesive pads. The thicker adhesive pad sticks to irregular surfaces better than the thin pad.

I have only used on wood - that's what it's for and no swirl marks I love this sander!

The sanding attachment is in the shape of a triangle (about 3' per side); See if that would fit the needs for your job (or your corners). You can put different grades of sand paper in it and certainly sand most wooden surfaces (if that's what you are working on)

It takes 5 inch 8 hole sanding disks. The pad they attach to is kind of a soft pad with velcro. When I first received the sander it had a faulty pad and would only sand on the very outer edge leaving circles in the wood. I contacted Bosch and they sent me a new one. It works great now.

They look like the same machine. Make sure your drive belt is tight before you use this. I chewed up a belt, bought a replacement, then a year later chewed up another one. I'm hard on my sander, I use it almost every day.
