Who It's For

This pad is best for tradespeople and hobbyists who already own a Festool RO 150 FEQ and want a lowercost replacement backing pad that keeps dust control working efficiently. It suits woodworking for smooth surfaces, furniture finishing, and automotive body polishing where conforming to curves is important.
