ROTEX RO 125 Abrasives
Choosing 125 mm Abrasives for the ROTEX RO 125
These 5-inch (125 mm) discs fit the ROTEX RO 125 and other Festool 125 mm sanders. Pick the abrasive line by the surface. Rubin2 is made for bare wood. Granat is the general-purpose line for wood, filler, and primer, sold as single-grit packs, a 30-disc starter pack, a 100-disc pro pack, and Systainer3 assortments in 60 to 220 grit. Granat NET is a mesh disc for dust-heavy work. Cristal and Saphir handle paint removal and heavy stock. Platin, Brilliant 2, and Vlies cover fine finishing and scuffing.
What to Look For
- Paper or mesh. Granat NET mesh pulls dust through the whole disc. Paper discs like Granat and Rubin2 rely on the hole pattern.
- Coarse removal. Cristal P40 and P60 strip coatings. Saphir is the line for heavy stock on rotary mode.
- Finish steps. Platin and Brilliant 2 prep surfaces for paint and lacquer. Vlies scuffs between coats.

ROTEX RO 125 Abrasives FAQ
What are Granat PROfile discs for?
The 125 mm Granat PROfile 10-pack is meant for shaped and contoured surfaces, where a standard disc can wear through on edges and profiles.
Rubin2 or Granat for hardwood?
Both work. Rubin2 is tuned for bare wood and resists loading on resinous species. Granat handles wood plus filler and primer, so it is the better single line if you sand coated surfaces too.
