Is there some place I can find a chart of every paper and polishing pad that is available for the RO90? I've been looking around and just can't find it. The FestoolUSA website is incomplete in what is available for the RO90, I know this because I already own stuff not listed like Granat 1500 which is not listed in the abrasives list of the RO90. A concise and complete reference list in chart format of every consumable product available for any tool would be most helpful.

Sorry, but there is not such a comprehensive list. Festool did make a very nice brochure about sandpaper, but it's a bit outdated by now, missing al new types and there's no new version as of yet.

Problem with a lot of Festool websites is that they are incomplete and sometimes organised a little bit chaotically. I'm sorry to say, but the USA website is one of the worst in this matter.

English speakers can always check the UK website to see what's available, but even the UK site is not as comprehensive as the German and Dutch sites. If you really want to know everything Festool sells, you have to check www.festool.de or www.festool.nl.

But even those websites have a lot of hidden content. With hidden I mean that you can't find it through the menu, but only by using the search function. There is a lot of content in there you won't find any other way.

Anyway, here is the UK page for the RO 90 and it's accessories. It lists more than the USA site, but on the other hand, you can't be sure that all that's offered in the UK is also offered in the USA.

Thanks Alex. Hopefully the good folks at Festool see this and add a comprehensive list of available products to the website. I was buying some additional abrasives today at my local dealer and they had a charted list in a catalog, seems like that data could be easily republished to the website as a PDF.
