Cheap Makita sander vs expensive Festool Rotex | Is it worth it? 

Hey, thanks for the comment. It's an awesome piece of kit. 😀

Yes, the Makita does a good job if the abrasive paper is fresh and you don't need to do detail work. It's louder though, and not as nice to hold.

Thanks. Really appreciate it.

Indeed, but it's fun to do the comparison. Overall though, I find Makita sanding equipment a bit underwhelming.

The Rotex is definitely a 'nice to have' when you need it. Have a great day. 😀

Thanks for your feedback and your question. I designed and 3D printed it myself. I don’t use the sander without it. Contact me on info@colinklupiec.com if you’re interested in getting one.

Glad you found it helpful. Have a great day.

First to leave a comment. Thanks. Actually, I have a spare. It might fit your sander. I'd be curious to know. Contact me at info@colinklupiec.com and I'll send it to you.

@@ColinKlupiec I'll take some measurements and email you

True that. 😀

The Festool MIDI. I actually like that extractor more than larger Festool extractors I've used in the past. It's got my favourite feature...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-emvQ4oOh05M.html

I've got 5 doors to finish so I figured it was worth it. For detail work you can't go past the delta head attachment. It really is awesome. Thanks for leaving a comment. Have a great day. 😀
