    Re: Rotex 125 gear driven 3mm

    Those Festool Rotex machines can be switched to forced gear driven rotational mode. Do you think that the 1/8" orbit (3mm) still prevents real correction from being done even when it's in forced rotation mode? The pad spin wouldn't be an issue then right? The Rotex 90 (3.5") is the one that has me interested. That looks like a good tool to power through stuff like bumpers.

    •Rotational Speed: 260 – 520 RPM
    •Eccentric Motion Speed: 3500 – 7000 RPM

    Re: Rotex 125 gear driven 3mm

    Mike thank you so much for the information provided; I really appreciated it a lot. As a matter of fact I’m using rotex 125 on the gear driven mode and giving me good results. However; I didn’t like it with microfiber pads !!. One thing I’m aiming to try is to use it with wool pad for correction.



    You know may be at SEMA this year will be interesting polishers will be presented.

    Thanks Mike
